I know there are a lot of posts starting out with "I cried today because..." but I wanted to ask a question about these. I am compiling a list of these and was wondering if anyone would be interested in contributing (not giving away names or any personal information, just the stories themselves)? I've been posting my funny reasons for crying on Facebook and my other friends who are pregnant, as well as other mommas, have been joining in on the fun. I just think it would be fun to have these to read over again later because, when we look back on them, they are sometimes really funny. Example, a friend of mine said she ate two cookies every night before bed during her pregnancy and her husband one night ate some cookies and only left her with one. She said she looked at him and screamed, "What am I supposed to do with only ONE cookie?!" and he ran right out to the store and bought her more cookies. If you would be interested, please post your stories here! I would love to add them to the list.
Re: Compiling a list of funny reasons why we cry during pregnancy :)
Before our baby was even conceived or before we were even trying we bought a small toddler rocking horse that my husband's aunt was trying to sell at a yard sale. It was the first thing we bought for our baby, who wasn't even a baby then.
A couple of weeks ago FIL was at a yard sale and bought another very similar rocking horse at a yard sale. This was in a little better shape and looked a LOT like my horse that I ride and show. (We are a horse family). We don't need or really even have room for 2, so we DH suggested that we take one to MILs house. She babysits a couple of kids and then obviously our baby can use it there when she gets older.
He thought his parents would be offended if we took them the one that they bought plus it was in a little better shape, made some noises, and looks like our horse. I literally bawled because I didn't want to get rid of the other one.
I started bawling because I knew I would want to take them all home, but I couldn't because I am allergic to cats and we don't have enough room for the dogs, and how sad it was that our 2 pups have a loving home and these animals needed one. I cried so hard I couldn't breath and my husband was trying so hard not to laugh at me because it was the most UGLY cry I had ever had.
