Before getting pregnant i wasn't too emotional... That being said I ugly cried before work, because as I was making my lunch I realized my husband ate the last of my oatmeal bread so I couldn't have a peanut butter sandwich to bring to work. Like seriously I ugly cried over a sandwich... Who am I lol?
Last night I cried when my 3 year old told me I wasn't being a "real mommy" Because I couldn't pick her up and put her in her bed. She told me real mommies put their kids in bed.
Soooo if I'm being completely honest, I don't think my emotions haven't changed one bit since becoming pregnant. So now I'm starting to suspect that means one of two things.
1) It's possible I'm an emotionless unsympathetic sociopath.
or
2) Maybe the reason that I don't recognize a difference in my emotional state is because my emotions were already so moody that I couldn't get any worse even with an increase of hormones.
It was pretty rough. I can usually get through that stuff fine but it legit brought me to tears. I actually got up and walked away from her and made my H deal with her. She came and apologized and we talked about why I can't do those things anymore.
@fishwife799 you reminded me of another emotional melt down - my 2.5 year old DD has been in a daddy phase for the last 2 months. The one day I came home from work and they were playing so well together. When I tried to say hello and join in, she just got mad and told me to go away. I had to leave the room - it broke my heart that she was honestly happier with me gone.
Oh, man. I feel like I've been mostly reasonable and rational lately, but there was a Thursday a couple of weeks back when I was holding out for a particular thing for lunch, so I just didn't eat, and then I didn't eat, and then it was 5:30 and I was throwing a crying tantrum because there was nothing in the house to eat and all I wanted was a particular kind of blended custard and chicken fingers. My husband just looked at me and laughed and was all, 'YOU KNOW WE CAN GET THOSE RIGHT.'
Today I cried over Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though. But only a little.
My favorite hormonal angst story is actually from my first pregnancy, in which I came home from work planning to make mac and cheese from a box, because I was hugely craving it. I walked in the door and discovered my husband had cooked dinner, which, of course, was something else. I was devastated and dissolved into tears.
Basically, don't get between me and food when I'm pregnant. I become very attached.
My brother's birthday is today and my mom text me to get to the restaurant right after work (5:00) to get a table. I obliged. She shows up with 2 of my brothers minus my dad, another brother and my sister. I asked where they were and she said they had to pick up my sister and they'd be on their way.
15-20 minutes (5:30) pass and I ask where the flip they are and she says my sister isn't done until 6:15 annnnd I may have flipped out.
#1. I think thats super inconsiderate to the restaurant because in the time we'll be sitting taking up a table waiting someone could've had their whole meal.
#2. She RUSHED me to get there at 5:00 when I could've went home and changed out of my work clothes.
#3. I'm fucking starving.
So... I may have left and driven all the way home (now it's 6:00) and I have to turn around and drive back in about 10 minutes and it's going to be really awkward. I feel stupid after typing this out and calling H to bitch (although he agreed it was inconsiderate and ridiculous on my mom's part). This might be my dumbest hormonal, ragey moment so far.
@ahernandez16- i think you have a justifiable reason to be ticked about the restaurant deal. That's not cool. And I laughed at your H, because clearly yours IS working (per him)! He's a brave man to say that.
I bought some blueberries at our local grocery store after my last appt because i wanted a snack. Then, cried all the way home because most of them were too ripe and mushy.
Before getting pregnant i wasnt a big fan of alcohol. Now all i want is a Mikes Hard Lemonade and so i bought some for my hubby yesterday(he probably wont drink them but it made me feel better somehow) so i can just look at them in the fridge and remind myself....just 3 more months...
I'm going to a Bible study tonight where they are having a baked potato bar for dinner. I've been craving a chicken fajita potato for weeks, so I'm bringing my own toppings so I can make one.
I started crying during supper last night and cried off and on until bedtime (5 hours later). I have no idea why, my poor family just had to sit there and watch

I've been in bed crying most of the day because... I'm exhausted but not able to sleep I'm bloated and big and gross I've got a skin tag on my neck I'm so incredibly sick of peeing I've got a weird red thing on my face that's been there for 6 weeks I'm constipated I have to go out for a friend's birthday tonight Work absolutely sucks right now and best case scenario it will start to settle down in time for my mat leave I have a vulvar varicose vein...no sorry, make that two. A new one just popped out today I've got three and a half more months of this
A little off topic but its 5:30 am on Sunday and my husband rolled over to spoon me. I was laying on ny right side and our DD was moving so i put his hand on my lower belly. He bas been anxious to feel her and jealous he hasnt yet. She gave out a huge kick or tumble or something big in there and he yelled "Oh my god i felt that!!!" I couldnt help it, but i burst into tears so happy that he finally could feel her and now he feels reassured that shes actually in there!! Now we're trying to sleep and im in bed sobbing happy cries

If it helps about #2, I got to sleep more when I had my son and his first year than before I had him. Maybe I'm just really lucky? I don't know but I'm not banking on the same experience with my 2 year old and a newborn
Willie Nelson on the radio made me ugly cry while driving to work this morning. He's really old and probably going to die soon. This makes me sad because I love him.

I just died reading this! I'm laughing so hard right now!
Yesterday we went to the coast and were walking the souvenir shops and they had tons of those little license plates with names on them. I hate personalized souvenir-y stuff but I used to have one on the back of my bike growing up and thought I was the shit. So H and I were going to get one for the baby - Lincoln.
Only we went to like 15 different shops and no Lincoln. So then I was like, "Well dammit. We're going to find SOMETHING that says Lincoln" and we looked at every thing... key chains, water bottles, pens, nothing. I nearly cried and convinced myself we sucked as humans and future parents for giving our kid a name he can't even find on a damn keychain. Needless to say, H thought it was hysterical. We got froyo shortly after and bought him some cute outfits at Carters and I was fine.
He's still going to be Lincoln but you can bet the first thing I see that says that name on it, my hormonal ass is grabbing it. I don't even care what it is.

@ahernandez16 I have shared the same concern with my DH about one of the names we are considering and he said - this day in age you could have something personalized from etsy and at our doorstep in 48 hours, I wouldn't get too worked up that maybe we cant find the name in an airport gift shop... I thought that was a good point!

I'm sure there's a shot glass somewhere with that on it. Plus he can reuse it someday
@mamanicoleof3 I totally looked at the shot glasses and fully intended on buying one if they had his name.... *hangs head in shame*
My parents collect shot glasses from every place they've ever visited. They've decided that the best place to display this incredibly large collection is in the guest room at their house right next to the crib that they have for grandkids! My mom's stance: teach 'em while they're young! I promise they're not alcoholics...
Also, my name is spelled oddly and I've NEVER had anything personalized. I think that I've turned out okay. Then again, when he's older, it might be easier to find!
Pregnancy has made me less weepy and more throat punchy. I lost it on H this morning for yawning. That's right, he was basically in trouble for breathing. I have to be out of the house for work at 5:30. This morning was especially rough (I have had none of the second tri energy that I heard so much about) and so with my last 5 minutes before I left I crawled back into bed. H was laying next to me and talking and just kept yawning over and over again and, for no great reason, it drove me completely insane. I didn't even apologize.

Every year my mom buys ornaments with my daughters names on them. Every year my daughter Alexandria has to have an "I" added in permanent marker. I wonder if at some point she will be angry that there is always stuff with Victoria's name on it...
@tawny87 that's my name! I rarely had anything with my name on it because Alexandra is apparently more popular and all the stuff that just said Alex on it was usually "boy stuff." BOO. That's probably why I hate personalized stuff....
@ahernandez16, I've never found anything with my name on it--not even with an incorrect spelling (my name is Gwyn). It used to bother me, but as I got older I quit caring. Now I appreciate that my name is unique. I also second @msbeachnj that with Etsy you can get him anything you want personalized.
