    Hangriness is real! My SO told me from the beginning that in any given situation I could use pregnancy as an excuse and he'd take it. I was like no sir! I will not be using that as an excuse. I will be accountable for my behavior, regardless of factors that may be playing a role. I will admit when I'm crying and being overly sensitive but I will not disregard the impact of my actions on others - and I will not say oh I'm hormonal deal with it! In reality, I'm the one dealing with it and I'm doing a good job at keeping my not so nice behavior to myself. I've tried very hard to not perpetuate "pregnant lady" stereotypes. Except with food....no shame.

    Edit: I suck at operating iOS keyboards.

    I am like you. I get frustrated when people use pregnancy as an excuse for me! But you are right hangriness is real. I go from nothing to hungry very quickly these days and from hungry to starving in minutes. And if I don't eat anything starving turns into feeling very sick! So when I'm hungry, I need me some food ASAP!

    @essentialpeace Sometimes you just need to let all the emotions out! I am so guilty of holding things in and feeling like I'm obligated to be the strong and even keeled one all the time. I have always felt like this. It's true that you don't realize what a burden holding in your emotions in is until you let them out. I'm glad that you are feeling better!

    Oh hangry is definitely real! Ask my 2 year old!!
    I just look at hormones like I see my kids behavior. There may be a reason for it (tired, hungry, etc) but it's not an excuse.

    I cried over getting the wrong bagel this morning. I love bagels and I cry easily but I promise that was hormones and not a normal reaction.

    No that's a normal reaction. Don't mess with the bagels!!

    Just left my first class! It was about breastfeeding and helped a lot, but she was so pushy about breastfeeding she hardly talked about pumping when necessary, so rough for the moms in there that had a short maternity leave!

    My hormones don't really make me sad or moody.. My biggest things are clumsiness and forgetfulness. It's really entertaining for DH... :|

    Agreed about the hormones...my mood is definitely affected by them. I don't ever use it as an excuse, but I know that my reactions sometimes are completely ridiculous and are not typical of me!  But I also don't like when I get annoyed with DH for something and he blames my hormones.  I'm not being hormonal, I genuinely think you're being a butthead. :)

    Omg. I did it. I made it from page 1 to 45. And I did it all while eating chicken flautas for breakfast. My random thought is that my husband's brother's girlfriend is getting on my last nerve. She's 30 and ever since they found out I was pregnant she got on Instagram and threw a massive fit about it, then retaliated by deleting ALL of her stuff. Now every time she sees me she always makes some sort of awkward, backhanded comment. Last night, they decided to announce *on instagram* that they were engaged after YEARS of them saying they didn't want to be married and stuff like that (which whatever, I'd be happy but I'm still bitter Betsy about the way she's been treating me). It's like us getting pregnant made them catapult themselves into making decisions that are not what they really want, or haven't been what they wanted for the last 5 years. And then she keeps making comments like "Yay! Maybe I will be 15 weeks behind you!!!" And I know it's my only child syndrome showing and it's totally ugly of me to feel this way, but can you just not?? Can you just not make a slew of big announcements and let my husband and I have our own moment? Or do you really need attention that badly?

    I'm not an only child (oldest of 3) and I think I would feel the same way. Esp after that Instagram stunt. Why can't people just be happy for other people's good news and not try to one up them?

    What is an example of a "bump catfish"??? Now I feel like I am going to dream about a catfish with bumps on it. I am assuming bump in this instance is the app. Catfish?

    I think it just really hurts my feelings that she acts happy on the outside, and then tells the world including people she doesn't know on Instagram how pissed off she is. And DH's brother has proposed to her in the past and she said no simply because the ring was ugly... It just seems like she made this commitment literally 3 days after our announcement just because. I'm sure I will look back and realize that I'm overreacting, and I know my feelings are hurt. But I just don't understand. And if this is what they truly want and they actually go on with it, then awesome. They've dated for several years and our family has been nothing but supportive of her.

    It sounds like she has a severe personal problem. She must be miserable. Being happy for others sometimes takes effort, but there is not excuse if she is treating you poorly. Hopefully she is genuinely excited about getting married. Time will tell.

    Baby news is just awsome though! Don't feel like you are in the shadows.

    Unfortunately a lot of people are like that. It's kinda the internet version of gossiping behind your back. I'm sorry your feelings are hurt. Try to focus on you and your family and this exciting time. I bet she's extremely miserable. Those people are incapable of happiness for others because they can't be happy themselves.

    We're happy for you and celebrate with you! :-)

    Bump Catfish: Noun; a person who frequents the bump for many months sharing the trials and tribulations of their pregnancy and giving advice to expecting moms to be, just to find out that they're actually a 60 year old man posting from their mom's basement and they haven't seen any actually sunlight in 20 years.

    Used in a sentence: "Jimmy, it's highly disturbing that you talk to pregnant women all day and pretend your name is Susie. Stop being such a Bump Catfish."

    This is an extreme case. But hey, it could happen.
    ^^^^^ I just laughed so hard at this. I love your definition and example.

    That is incredibly scary and makes me a little nervous. I think I will go back to dreaming about catfish with bumps in them and forget Jimmy the creeper man. =[

    If it was UO Thursday I would say that the women who deny hormones play a role in our moods are blind. I've seen a couple women post that they don't want to be called hormonal or use it as an excuse. Nobody likes being called things in a negative way and I'm not a fan of excuses but the hormones were definitely raging for me in the beginning and from what I've heard they will pick back up at the end. I don't excuse my behavior by pointing to hormones but I do not overlook their role in my emotional state at certain moments. Possibly, other women aren't affected as much. I'm a sensitive sucker, but at least I'm self aware.

    I have to be the odd ball out and say that I am a woman who does not like to be called hormonal. I honestly feel like my overall mood has not changed
    since getting pregnant. The only thing that has changed is I do cry easier at sappy things on TV/movies. I wrote a UO about this the other week and it was more geared towards when we have a dispute/discussion and someone will come on and say something along the lines of "can't we agree that we are just extra hormonal...." When something is worded like that I feel like it takes away from thoughts/opinions and their validity.

    I'm so paranoid about Internet safety! I don't even want a picture of my face. I don't know how people can do a Facebook group either! I'm just super weirded out by that, that may be my UO of the week though..

    So, I was introduced to a new stupid phone game today. It's seriously the most ridiculously stupid game ever, but somehow oddly addicting. It's called alpaca evolution.
