Things that have made you cry

I looked for a thread like this and couldn't find one, sorry if it's a repeat, but... I am not a big crier, but here are things that made me cry bawl yesterday:
  • The documentary, Harmontown, when the nerds tell Harmon how he's helped them
  • When my husband pointed out that I didn't sound super excited for book group
  • When my puppy got up to sit on the couch with me
What ridiculous things have been making you cry lately? Please tell me I'm not the only emotional victim of these pregnancy hormones. Because that would also probably make me cry right now.

Re: Things that have made you cry

    • just about every other commercial
    • when I found out my mom bought me the bracelets I wanted for Christmas instead of my husband getting them for me
    • when DH said excitedly "Oh your belly is growing!"
    I cry for just about anything. It's pathetic. 
  • Loading the player...
  • Happy tears:
    When DS kissed my baby bump
    When I thought about DH during my prep at work
    When I bought a stocking for this baby boy

    Sad, ugly, overly-dramatic cries:
    When I read/viewed a viral Facebook post about a stillbirth. (To be fair, this would make me cry not pregnant, but I was snotty and nearly inconsolable with the pregnancy hormones at work.) I accidentally scared DH.
    When BH kicked my butt a few evenings ago, and I was tired, and my antibiotics hadn't kicked in yet to help my bronchitis.
  • I would say for me personally, I have just been extra extra sensitive and emotional to everything. Its like feelings on gnarly steroids. I have also noticed the crying sometimes gets out of control where I cannot control myself or stop it. This is all new for me because I had most of my feelings and emotions on lock down before pregnancy, but now its just a damn free for all!
  • Oh I am so glad I am not alone on this! 

    • commercials! So many commercial tears! 
    • I saw a harried mother, trying to talk her screaming toddler down at the mall a couple of days ago and burst into tears
    • That last episode of Jane the Virgin (I balled, then laughed, then balled again)
    • When my SO brought home a dessert I love that reminds me of home :D

  • This morning my daughter, who will be 2 tomorrow, made me cry by throwing her first all-out tantrum ever. It lasted for about 45 minutes and I had no idea what to do, so I starts crying, too.

    It was ugly.
  • Sad baby stories... Scary Mommy did me in once this week already.

  • When my husband jokingly said "you're mean more often than you're nice" and I also cried when I saw one of the sad face emojis on my phone because he just looked so sad, I cried to a couple episodes of "bones", I cried when my doctor asked me if I was doing okay after stopping my depression medication (obviously not).

    I'm not the only one crying to Bones!!! Yay!
  • - Military anything (usually makes me cry anyways since DH is a veteran, but it's increased tenfold now!)

    - DH reading to my belly. He taps it and talks to it and it melts my heart!

    - When I get emotional and cry over something nonsensical (like dropping a fork) and DH asks "do you need a hug?"
  • -Long Island Medium (LOL)
    -The thought of flying home to see my family and friends tomorrow, it's been over a year
    -Any of these news stories where military dad/mom surprises the family and comes home, gets me every time
  • This morning my daughter, who will be 2 tomorrow, made me cry by throwing her first all-out tantrum ever. It lasted for about 45 minutes and I had no idea what to do, so I starts crying, too.

    It was ugly.

    I cried the first time my 1st threw a full blown tantrum. Same reason. Had no clue how to handle it. So we cried together. I was pregnant with his little brother at the time too. Good times I tell you, good times.
  • A video of an elephant giving birth.
    The opening sequence to the show "Parenthood".
    A picture of my SO because I love him so much.
    The same picture of my SO after a big fight because I hate him.
    • Watching DD dance to All About That Bass
    • Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes (I've seen them a million times!)
    • When DH got mad at me (what am I 5??)
    • When my mom drank out of my water cup bc she was feeling nauseated but didn't know if it was car sickness or a stomach bug coming on
    • MIL picked up DD from school and took her to the gas station right down the street
    • Because I had to come into work.

  • 1.  This article:  https://news10.com/2015/12/15/crash-kills-2-man-was-driving-to-birth-of-his-child/ 

    2.  The fact that my grandma who is like my favorite person ever, had zero sympathy for my pregnancy brain today and replied "We've all been pregnant...come on now!"

    3.  Any time someone cries or their voice cracks on TV.  And in person.  Tears give me tears.

    4.  A random article about "10 things dads need to know about pregnancy" that I got one paragraph into and lost it...it wasn't even sad or giving me the feels.  I have no clue about that one.

    5. Some Buzzfeed article about the good things that happened in 2015 including 1) people not showing up for an autistic child's birthday and then police officers, firetrucks, & other community members showed up for him and 2) a child that had been in foster care for 800+ days and finally got adopted and was out to dinner with his new dad and they were wearing tuxes.  Lost it!


    These were all within the past 4 days.

    There was a woman's story going around on Facebook of her documenting her pregnancy and finding out her child had an Acrania deformity that would be fatal to him shortly after birth.  It included over 200 photos and I seriously lost it reading about her story and seeing the pictures.  I can't even imagine.

    This is the one I lost it over. Oh, I cried so hard.
  • @valerie4786 I cried over that dang buzzfeed article, too!

    I don't think I've ever cried over a commercial in my life and this week I have to so many. Dang you Hallmark card commercials!
  • I haven't cried over anything except when we decided to move cross-country but I've teared up over:

    -the first time we went out to eat while pregnant & DH got a delicious beer but I couldn't

    -the abused kids commercial that's always on during soccer games

    -the guy on Chopped crying because his wife died last year

    -how sick & exhausted & tired of being tired I felt. I sure don't miss the 1st trimester!
  • This could be a very long post. But I'll keep it to the most crazy ones

    1. Hubby said he would make dinner and when I got home it wasn't ready yet.

    2. the traffic yesterday going home from work

    3. Almost anything I see on tv that is even remotely sad.

  • Don't laugh, but that Christmas song about Snoopy and the Red Baron. When he says "Merry Christmas my friend!" and then the part about how they would meet again on some other day, I just started bawling in the car. It was so sweet they could put aside their differences for Christmas, but they would be right back at it the next day and that made me so sad. I am a (not so) hot mess.

    Me too! I was ugly crying for longer than I'm willing to admit.
  • I can't watch or read anything sad about kids since I was pregnant last time. I'm out of commission for at least 30 min-an hour after.

    Embarrassing, but the most ridiculous time so far was when I ordered sandwiches for a large group and mine was the only one wrong. I'm ashamed to admit I cried and sulked about it. I didn't want egg salad, I wanted tuna.

    Last pregnancy I cried when DH tried to tickle me. He's scarred for life now, every time he looks like he might even try I remind him what happened and he looks terrified.

    Oh this was an emotional week.

    - telling stepsons that they will have another brother. Mother of the kids yelling through the phone: "haha, again another boy for him. So sad, he will never have a girl!"
    - My husband saying "I'm loving this extra cushion" well, while trying to get a little frisky in the bedroom
    - Buyers couldn't fund on their home yesterday so had to tell them news that they will get their keys the next day. Felt horrible...

    ... Oh, and my husband suggested that grandma can pick a middle name for our son. I was so emotional, ugly sobbing....
  • Oh, and last night we rehearsed for the Christmas Vespers Concert this Sunday and anytime we sang about the baby Jesus (which was a lot!) and how Mary sang him lullabies and blessed him etc, I would cry-sing. The whole choir thought it was pretty hilarious that I couldn't get through a single song.

  • I've cried listening to Hark the Herald twice.
    I also secretly love Married at First Sight and cry during every episode.
    Then there's this video.... OMG watch it! But get your tissue ready first.

  • This morning, I was listening to the radio, and a little girl with the most precious voice called in and sang "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." Tears.

  • I have fortunately only had 2 big meltdowns.

    The first was that I was in class at night and really did not want the chicken noodle soup I packed for myself. Middle of class bawling my eyes out. Very awkward when only 1 other person knew I was pregnant at the time.

    The second was when my husband ordered pizza. I told him what I wanted earlier in the day, but he wanted to surprise me with my favorite type of pizza instead. I came home, put it on the counter, and just lost it. The look of shear terror on his face was priceless though.
  • Barbara Walter's interview with Tracy Morgan for the 10 most fascinating people of the year really got me. It was so touching!
  • On top of pregnancy hormones, my mom is battling very aggressive brain Cancer. Let's just say that my tears are on a switch. Triggers: Every other Christmas song on the radio, sappy commercials, when my husband forgets to grab my favorite dessert in a grocery trip, etc, etc.
  • @pantherkiss0586 I am so sorry. My prayers are with your family and you!

    I think all pregnant ladies should just boycott commercials in general. There is one that ALWAYS gets me...it is a Subaru commercial about how protective parents are and ends with a mother and daughter surviving a car accident. I always gasp and then start sobbing at that part and I can tell MH is trying not to laugh because I get so upset.

  • Lately, I've been much more apt to have an angry outburst than a tearful one.  I think DH would rather see the tears than have me rip him a new one...again. 
    Of course I did cry at the acrania story going around on facebook.Those photos were so emotional.

  • I can't even look at the sad baby stories. I get so paranoid for days.

    Lately I have been crying over sweet things my family has done. A few:

    -H rubbing my belly and telling DS how much he loves him already.

    -My uncle telling the baby to hurry up because he can't wait to be a great uncle.

    -My mom talking to my belly and saying "grandma loves you"
