Why my pregnant self is crying.

anne11716 · March 2016

We told my in laws that I was pregnant last night, they were very excited! They are wonderful people and they live out of state. However, I cried this morning when I replayed the conversation in my head and they said that they want to stay at our house for a MONTH after the baby is born. How in the world do I handle that?!

Have you guys seen the commercial for the new TLC show Two In A Million? Oh lord, that one got me choked up. It'll be a sob fest I'm sure.

What is it about?

beforeyou · March 2016

@anne11716 I would cry about that too... I want to cry for you. What's your relationship with them like? Would you be able to tell them that a month is way too long? Could your DH?

@TucknBoom Its a show about people who have incredibly rare medical conditions who get to meet someone like them that has the same medical condition that they do and they get to spend a week together. Basically these people have never met someone else with their same medical condition before and it just looks really heart warming and like a tear-jerker. Here's the link to the trailer: https://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/two-in-a-million/this-season-on-two-in-a-million/

@peachykeen17 right?! Thank you for not making me feel like I'm awful! They really are wonderful people but they always need to be entertained as well and with a new born, there is no way! My hope is that they come to their senses once we really start planning dates and if they don't I'll have to have my husband step in! Hell, by that time I will probably just be moody and tell them no haha. My parents live about 20 minutes away from us so my mom said they can always stay there too if it's longer then a few days. Ah! And I'll be on leave at that time. So I am going to want to bond and figure out all of this! The help will be nice but not for a month!

This morning I was discussing our wknd Easter plans with my husband and got super emotional and actually shed a tear bc we aren't going to my parents for Easter! FYI, we haven't been to my parents house for Easter in at least 4 years! And ive never been emotional about it. I was suddenly feeling nostalgic about hearing little children give Easter speeches and attending sunrise service at my grandmothers church.

MrsDho11 · March 2016

@anne11716 don't suppose one of them is allergic to cats? If so, get two. It's been fool proof for us this far.

Honestly though, you're going to have to address that if it isn't going to work for you, and I'd suggest sooner rather than later. It will only get worse if/when they start making arrangements to make that happen. And I totally feel you. I wouldn't be okay with it if my ILs wanted to do that. As is, I expect them to move across the country to be closer to us when we tell them, and I'm sincerely hoping it isn't too close.

MissAmeliaPond · March 2016

I cried a little bit earlier when I realized that I'm not allowed to have eggs benedict at Easter brunch. Wow. I'm embarrassed about that one.

NannyMommy · March 2016

Because Grey's Anatomy has stopped making my cry my mom told me I'm insensitive which made me cry.
Because idk if baby's dad is gonna marry me
Because I'm hungry
Because I have a hemorrhoid
Because I miss working and am on bedrest and am missing my performance tonight. I'm a fire dancer
Because I'm fat
Because my boobs itch and I can't scratch

Right now I'm sitting in the Toyota dealership while my car is getting serviced, reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and crying in front of a bunch of strangers

EmmieAnn22 · March 2016

@peachykeen17 I saw the preview for 2 in a million the other night and was sobbing. I don't know if my pregnant self can handle that show!

babysiers · March 2016

My credit is stressing me out and ruining all my plans for this pregnancy to get a new car or move out of my apartment before this baby gets here.

anne11716 · March 2016

@MrsDho11 they love them! And we have one, darn! Haha thank you and you are right. It causally came up tonight and I planted a seed. I am sure I am over thinking it because there is no way they can take that much time off work I feel like. Even though she said she wanted to quit her job. I have more faith in them then that, they have to know that's too long. Going to count my blessings that they are wonderful people and hey want to help. I feel comfortable enough to even bring it up to her if my husband would feel better that way too. Thank you for your help!

DD (2yo) said she missed her daddy. We had only ran to the store for 5 minutes but I felt bad that she missed him... how dare I separate those two for sooo long

My husband ate the leftover fried rice... after I told him to eat the leftover fried rice. As he was eating it I realized that there wasn't anything else in the house that sounded good except for the fried rice but I didn't want him to feel guilty about eating it so I just starting sobbing.

TucknBoom · March 2016

@peachykeen17 I cried over fried rice too! It's heavenly and now I'm craving it but they're closed☹

edited: typing is hard.

beforeyou · March 2016

@TucknBoom It's a logical thing to cry over, I think. Fried rice is just that good. Sorry that you can't get any right now

Reading an article in DH's Playboy on PTSD in Afghanistan veterans. I couldn't finish it. Maybe I'll try again later when my face dries off.

Someone posted video of the US anthem being sung before a hockey game in Canada. When the microphone cut out, the crowd belted out the rest of the song. I sat with tears rolling down my face.

katykate2016 · March 2016

March Madness. Those emotions when they win and omg when they lose! Yeah I cried with them.

kns1988 · March 2016

I teared up when this 3-year-old girl said she has a "daddy kiss jar," which is a jar full of Hershey kisses for each day her military dad is away in Korea. I thought they were going to bring him out at the end of the segment and I was prepared to lose it!

My friends finally got engaged after 6 years. All the happy tears.

hollowway · March 2016

FI and I were planning on getting married over the summer... Wedding is postponed now til next year... (reason to cry #1)... Riding in the car, the new song "You should be here" comes on and I start thinking about how my grandmother who has terminal cancer probably won't be at my wedding... que tears and the ugly cry.

I had to take my dog to the vet this morning, and another girl (who works for the humane society linked to the vet clinic) showed up needing to put her old dog down immediately. The vets refused to squeeze her in to their overbooked schedule until they got a call from the humane society. They were suggesting she take the dog elsewhere because routine appointments and other walk-ins who came in first would get priority. Que the first tears of this pregnancy. I felt so bad for her and can't imagine not being given immediate priority in that situation, especially when you're a fellow employee.

ShallowSeas · March 2016

My dog was barking last night and I wanted to sleep.

josiebegosie2002 · March 2016

Saw a st. Jude's commercial. It's so sad!! I'd cry pregnant or not!

ANZ116 · March 2016

the state farm commercial with the guy who goes from never getting married to two kids and a wife sleeping on him on the couch.

the song "Gracie" by Ben Folds-- ugly cried. Just TRY to get through it, i dare you.

MrsDho11 · March 2016

My dad just emailed me to see how I'm feeling. That is not at all his usual MO.

DunkinDecaf · March 2016

I just read the story that inspired Robert Munsch to write "I'll love you forever."

Edited to add: trigger warning. It's a loss story.

Do not read unless you're ready to start sobbing.

banfrog · March 2016

My oldest started crying last night about not wanting to have his cast cut off. He's really upset that they might cut where I wrote 'I love you' on it.

Des321 · March 2016

On Sunday I cried because my family didn't get together for Easter like we usually do. We always go to grammas house!

Then I also cried this morning because I didn't want fiance to go to work.

I feel like a crazy woman! Everything makes me cry.

hollowway · March 2016

One of my residents at work got me sick. My throat is on fire and every time I cough, I gag on the phlem... and cough drops make me nauseous. I hate being sick and pregnant at the same time

CCrane22 · April 2016

I just ugly cried watching the Criminal Minds from last week when Morgan left...I can't take it! This is my first excessive show of emotions since my BFP, so at least I made it to 9 weeks

I watched it and it pissed me off more than anything. I love Morgan and I don't see how the show will continue without him.

I really, really wanted a soft pretzel. The concession stand had no soft pretzels.

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · April 2016

In my clinical skills, we were doing OSCE-style scenarios. Mine was counselling a woman who is being discharged after treatment of injuries potentially related to intimate partner violence.

Even though it was a totally pretend scenario being delivered by my (male) preceptor, I totally got wrapped up to it and just barely stopped myself from crying. I just felt bad that women are dealing with actual intimate partner violence and many feel trapped and I want to help.

MrsDho11 · April 2016

I never watched the last season and a half or so of the West Wing, and I've finally been going through it the last couple days. Lots of crying today because of it, but I'm so close to the end now and I want to know how it ends!!!!!

ShallowSeas · April 2016

My IL's offered to take me and H out to dinner last night. FIL asked me where I wanted to eat at and I started crying. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I WANT TO EAT BECAUSE NOTHING SOUNDS GOOD EVER

mamahazey · April 2016

I sat in an airport yesterday for 6 hours waiting for my flight. I cried right in the middle of the airport and not even sure why...

grannysmith912 · April 2016

I just watched the 1993 version of The Secret Garden, which was my favorite movie as a kid. Like thirty minutes into it the floodgates open, because IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL and I want to be Mary Lennox.

I had gas so bad last night it was triggering my morning sickness.
