I got off work early last night and My husband has been on an ice cream kick. Called him on my way home and he asked if I wanted to watch a movie. So I thought I'd pick up some fancy gelato to surprise him with.
I get home with my bag of goodies, walk into the living room to kiss him and ask him how much he loves me, and he's eating a bowl of ice cream. I ask if that's ice cream, to which he replies yes, do you want some? I instantly start crying.
He very sweetly says I'll eat yours too! And I start rambling about just wanting to surprise him, and why did he have to eat ice cream that night, and I just want to go to bed now. All as I'm slamming the gelato around the kitchen all pissy and still crying.
God bless that man, he took it all in stride and was very nice about it all. And we had a very good laugh about it all this morning. The hormones. Holy smokes.
@quartz02 I think that's normal! The song "One Sweet Day" reminds me of my grandma who passed away in 2009. I heard it yesterday on my way home from work and I started crying. I miss her, wish she were here to meet our baby.
I've been sitting here looking through the April 2016 birth announcements and I'm so emotional. I can only imagine how I'm going to feel when the first one shows up on our board.
@Weville I never watch it the night of since Thursday is normally a little hectic so I always watch it before work on Friday. I'm only going to get through one episode but oh my god. It's a good thing my husband isn't here because he would be a mess too
I'm crying because I just finished watching the sweetest slideshow of my co-worker's sweet baby girl. Wednesday morning my boss received a text from my co-worker saying that there had been an accident and his daughter had passed away. She was born just two short months ago. The service is tomorrow, and I plan to go to show my support, but I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do this. He and his wife are living my nightmare. I am hoping that my being pregnant will not in some way cause them any more grief - I know that when I had my miscarriage (different situation, but still the loss of a child), I suddenly noticed every pregnant woman, and for a time I may have resented some of them for the sole fact that they still had their babies. I want to show my support, though, so I'm hopeful that they will just see me as another person who cares for them and their baby girl and wants to celebrate her brief time with us.
DD is spending her first night in her big girl bed. I've stayed up late waiting for her to get up or cry for me and nothing so far...can't believe she's getting so big.
I cried at target yesterday after my husband said I shouldn't get burt's bees cough drops for this awful cold, because of the menthol and eucalyptus oil...I know he's trying to be safe than sorry, but I just want to able to feel a little relief from this sickness
Because I visited my aunt today who is losing her battle with colon cancer (and now brain cancer) the last thing she said to me before I left was "tell your little princess I'm sorry I never got to meet her" I tried not to cry to be strong for my dad (it's his sister) but I couldn't. They've given her only a week or so
Saturday:Went to my husband's Aunt's funeral and one of the hyms was one of the ones that was played at our little angel's funeral.
Monday: Made the mistake of drinking a Jamba Juice before going to my Dr. appointment (thought it would take a lot longer than it did and wanted sustenance) Then they weighed me before I went pee, now it looks like Im gaining weight too quickly and I feel so guilty that Im doing something wrong. Then I tried to make muddled (is that the right word) fruit water and all I had was cuite oranges, needless to day it did not turn out that taste and my tummy didn't really like it.
@randypluskate ditto I'm numb and devestated! I also had Purple Rain DVR'd and saved for about a year and just happen to delete it a few weekends ago! We lost a great and talented artist! #RIP
@randypluskate true fan girl! There was definately ONE thing on my bucket list and that was to attend one or both a Prince & Stevie Wonder Concert and now he's gone. I feel inclined to watch Purple Rain and The Chappelle Show because I need to laugh! #gameblouses
Was told "you're HUGE!"/ "you're SO BIG!"/ "Holy crap look how pregnant you are!" one too many times today. Crying over an apple in my cube. If everyone could just switch from "you look huge" to "you look beautiful" that would be really helpful at this juncture...
@noelietrex I get it too. I walked in to work the other day to see my two managers and the guy one practically swallowed and got caught off guard and said "jeeeessh, its amazing what a week will do, you're not going to make it until you said!" (referring to me working till the end of April) I honestly didnt know what to say. First of all its only a couple weeks away, and second of all, thats so rude...Im not going to make it? Then my other manager says "holy shit, you're huge." Do people not understand thats a horrible thing to say to a pregnant women?
Mine is stupid but so are my hormones I guess. I just turned on the TV and it was perfect timing for the start of Animal House. Its the one I can watch every single day and never get tired of it. Helps that its my college campus... Tears of joy over here.
@noelietrex ugh I'm sorry those comments are seriously the worst. I don't understand at all why people think that's a compliment .. I guess? Or funny .. My grandmother even emailed me after her "are you sure there's not 2 in there?" comment to reiterate that I "look big for 6 months". Wtf is a pregnant person supposed to look like?? I emailed her back saying NO ONE, especially a pregnant woman, wants to hear that they look big. It's hard enough to feel good in our skin with the world scrutinizing us, and now when our bodies are going through the most change ever it seems as though people make even more comments about what we look like. It seriously makes me so angry.
ETA: Ps. GRANDMA I'm 7 months along, not 6. Know your shiz if you're gonna be mean

This morning I cried because my linea nigra is crooked. Good lord. Followed by me laughing at myself for just how ridiculous I was.
