Because this weekend is our 1 year anniversary and I look fat in everything I try on for dinner tomorrow night, not to mention I'm pasty white because the sun hasn't shone in NJ in weeks and any tan lotion I try just makes me break out and itch, and I just keep looking at our wedding pictures from a year ago where I had some color and had a (maybe always thick but better defined) waistline and wondering if I'll ever get back to that size - the size I was always trying to lose weight from.... I know, #firstworldproblems.
at the farmers market the njtransit train goes right by it and there's 900 kids freaking out at the fence watching it. made me realize my baby will be the same way in a couple years which made me realize this is actually happening which made me cry. (also it's taking dh forever to get our pork roll sandwiches for some reason and I'm hungry.)
My H's cholesterol was high back in November when he last had it checked. He's done pretty much nothing since then to help the situation. I thought he had a doctors appt today and was looking forward to him getting checked out and the doctor giving strict orders but he got the date wrong, it's June 17th. Now I have another month to worry. The tears actually came after he made a freaking burger for breakfast. I burst into tears and told him I couldn't raise this baby alone. I think he felt bad because he hugged me, told me he would cut out red meat and watch his sodium and immediately went to the gym. He also said he would call to see if they could get him in sooner.

Okay, I usually don't comment on this thread because I haven't been too terribly emotional, but the hormones got the best of me last night. I burnt my hand on the pan I was using to cook brussel sprouts (shameless brag for eating healthy lol) last night and I proceeded to sob like a 4 year old. At first, I was crying because I burnt my hand, but then I was just crying because I was crying. I carried on for a good ten minutes on the kitchen floor while poor DH just stood over me without saying a word; he was so confused!
My husband poured out my cup at the rest area because he thought it was empty, except for ice. I still had cherry limeade left... I cried for miles... hubby felt really bad.
@msBlackandGoldI had been initially, but then I read several articles saying that baby may actually enjoy our orgasms - the muscles contracting and the motions act almost like a soothing massage to him or her. As long as you haven't had any issues where the doctor has put you on pelvic rest, sexy time is totally safe and just depends on your comfort level. But talk to your doctor if you have any concerns!
P.S. I've actually found out I orgasm more easily now that I'm prego - and it feels good! So don't be afraid! Enjoy it!
@msBlackandGold This happens to me too! More frequently now, but happened pre-pregnancy as well. I've done quite a bit of research & it has to do with the emotional release. At the point of climax, we tend to let everything else go briefly & the intensity of an orgasm can leave you feeling very emotionally raw. I've read that the strongest emotion you're experiencing under the surface is now free to be expressed and we, as women, often push our emotions aside to deal with everyone else's needs & everyday life, so this is where they come out. We also release additional hormones which aid in this as well.
It is an interesting concept, but a difficult one to deal with at times! This also happens to me on occasion after a really hard work out. Not fun to be crying in the gym either!
Oh, I'm not afraid because of the baby, I don't like crying during sex! It's not just, "I'm sad" type crying...it's UGLY UNCONTROLLABLE CRYING! My poor DH looked at me so confused when he figured out that I was no longer moaning. LOL.
It happened when I was pregnant with DD2. It totally freaked the both of us out!
Well, I'm crying at my desk right now. I just saw spots when I sat down, which is something the doctor said to call about. I did and they asked a bunch of questions and think it's just dehydration at this point, but if anything else happens (headache, eye pressure, numbness in my extremities) I need to go to the ER. The problem is I work an hour away from my doctor's office/ER and have no way of getting back until my commuter van leaves at 5. I texted my husband and asked him to road trip to pick me up, but haven't received a response yet. I hate this!
@depineta Chug that water and I hope you feel back to normal! Were you the one on this BMB that this was happening to early on?
I cried today because I was so happy to meet DH for lunch on a beautiful day when (I think) I ran over this little bird that ran out and stood in the middle of the road! Wtf kind of bird doesn't run/fly out of the way?! I felt so awful because I saw it all of a sudden and thought hm it better move, rather than...doing what, I don't know (swerving and getting myself, baby, and strangers in a crash? Or just stopping and looking crazy waiting for a bird to get out of the way?)...
I'm so not used to being emotional, being pregnant has made me feel like a complete lunatic. I never cry, but today I teared up because I bought myself a cookie and it sucked and I just feel like this whole week has been really unfair. Because of a cookie.
Thanks @ibabyloveb87 and @UponAStar16! My blood pressure is completely fine and the nurse thinks I was just moving around too quickly. She told me to slow down, eat more, and stop wearing heels I might love her!

I haven't touched heels since I got pregnant. I have a ridiculous fear of falling down and it's all about comfort over style right now. Props to those who are rocking them!!

I was craving a BLT.... so I go to our cafe on campus and take one bite and I find plastic wrap in my sandwich along with a piece in my mouth. Totally made me cry out of frustration and hunger! My lunch break is over and I can't go grab anything else at the moment. SO PISSED OFF!
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
A woman I barely know, met a handful of times years ago, but have followed on FB since then, just posted she had to put her dog down today after discovering a week ago that he had cancer throughout his whole body. He was only 4. I just feel awful and keep seeing his sweet little puppy dog face in my head. It's not fair how life works sometimes. I'm at work of all places and the tears are just rolling...
I was watching the episode of Prenthood where they're trying to figure out how to afford to send their daughter to college and I started crying thinking about how in the world we'll ever afford to send this kid to college. At this rate, in 18 years, it'll be 100k a semester!

Okay, so not crying but quite sad, and this is petty as hell, but FI froze the tube of cinnamon rolls I planned to bake now I have to wait for them to thaw back out ;(
So I haven't actually cried, but I so want to. I feel like I drank a bunch of beer last night (obviously I did not), I'm congested, and I have 0 desire to be at work.
And this hungover feeling is how I felt 1st tri. Whyyyyyyyyy?????

I'm just a big 'ol blubbery mess today. Our garbage disposal broke last night resulting in gallons of nasty, dirty water to come flooding out from under the sink. So gross. Spent hours trying to clean up that mess and now can't use the kitchen sink until a plumber comes. Discovered I have ants in my kitchen this morning. DH owns his own business and business has been really bad the last several months. Bad enough that he told me last night that he's worried about he's going to pay the business electricity bill. I knew it was bad, but didn't realize just how bad. We had been talking about trying to take a Babymoon soon which I have really been looking forward to (so need the break!) but it looks like that's out the window now, which makes me so sad. Not to mention, I'm freaking out about child care, baby expenses, etc. My entire salary goes to mortgage/bills and we pretty much supplement everything else off of his. I honestly don't know how we are going to do this. As soon as I get to work this morning, a co-worker comes in to show me an article about how it was revealed yesterday that 157 pregnant women in the US currently have Zika and it's expected to get worse. As soon as they leave, my other co-worker came in & asked me if I've finished the nursery yet (haven't even started) and told me I'm running out of time and I better hurry. I seriously started to almost hyperventilate while she was in my office & felt like I was about to have a full blown panic attack. Trying to remember to breathe & that everything will somehow work out!
Edited to add: And just now I somehow managed to slam my finger in the door of the bathroom stall. Really?!
Hugs @Kaessi! You will figure it all out and make it work. FX that business improves for your husband, and you have PLENTY of time to get the nursery set up. If it makes you feel any better, we not only don't have our nursery set up, but it's still a cluttered guest room and we haven't even started to look at baby furniture.
Mine for the day is super cheesy but true and sweet enough that I had to share. DH and I like to go to lots of shows and concerts, and we are getting to the point where November/December/January shows are being advertised that we won't be able to go to, and it's been making me a little sad lately. Well, we have a radio station in Boston that gives away a private concert at a Cape beach house every summer. They were talking about it last year's on the radio today, which was Kelly Clarkson, and it made me remember that we didn't even try to win it last year because it was scheduled during our honeymoon, and it made me pouty because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kelly Clarkson and a private beach concert with her would have been my dream show.
And then I realized that I'd never actually dreamed about a private beach concert, but I'd spent plenty of time dreaming and hoping for my wedding, which was as awesome as I had imagined, and PLENTY of time dreaming about my husband before I met him, who is even sweeter and kinder and more wonderful than I had imagined. And now we're having a baby, and guys, I got my dream, and it's way better than a stupid Kelly Clarkson concert.
And now I'm tearing up again just writing this. How's THAT for cheesy and saccharine sweet?
DH and I: Early/mid 30s Married 7/15
TTC #1 as of 8/15
BFP 11/21/15 -- MC confirmed 12/1/15 BFP #2 2/18/16
I sent DH a top-down picture of how my belly is sticking out past my boobs and the first thing he did was comment about how dirty our floor is and could I sweep it. I know he was kidding, but gah. I've struggled so much lately with feeling like I look like a whale that when I finally feel like I look pregnant he decides to make a joke. Ass.
@Kaessi I feel your pain! My hubby doesn't own his own business, but he works for a small one that pays him slightly more than minimum wage, and my job is the one that covers rent, car payment and our big bills, since his doesn't even cover rent. Once I go on mat-leave, I'll be bringing home about the same he does, so I'm not sure how we're going to cope, but like everyone says, you make it work. I also don't have my nursery set up. Right now it's the litter box room for the cats, where my senior cat thinks peeing on the floor is just as good as the box, so before I can even think of setting it up as a nursery, I have to sanitize everything and move the boxes out into another area (and considering the house we rent is a tiny box, not sure where we're going to put the boxes).
But the way I look at it is that we're not due until October right? So that's 5 months to set things up, maybe put a few dollars into savings (unlikely as we're tight already but worth a try), and know that when push comes to shove, we are strong women that will make it work!
@Kaessi, that's a lot to deal with! I hope things get better for you guys soon.
The best thing I cried about today was when my husband held up the coffee I bought and politely asked if I could get light roast next time. You see, there was a sale, so I bought two bags, and the other one was light roast. Heartbreaking, I tell you.
I had two absolutely ridiculous crying episodes recently, I am a sap by nature but it has gotten so much worse!
I was at the library last week with my FI and they were having a book sale, I found "Love you forever" which is just such a beautiful children's book. I opened it up to tell him about it and just give him an overview of the story and I just started crying when I got to the end. I couldn't even get the words out and he had to read it then was sitting there cracking up at me. Then I was half crying/half laughing at myself and looking like a lunatic in the middle of the damn library! lol
This past Saturday I was in the van waiting for my daughter to come out of her friends house (sleepover) and my FI put on the new Justin Timberlake video which features regular people dancing. I started tearing up which turned into basic blubbering about how it makes me so happy to see people dancing with joy and how great Justin Timberlake is for having "normal people" in his video from all walks of life. This is probably something I would have blubbered about pre-pregnancy but still it was absurd! LOL all the kids were shaking their head like there she goes again!

Seriously. I was mid orgasm and started to UGLY CRY. I cried for a good FIVE MINUTES during sex!!!!
Anyone else scared to have an orgasm while pregnant now?
P.S. I've actually found out I orgasm more easily now that I'm prego - and it feels good! So don't be afraid! Enjoy it!
It happened when I was pregnant with DD2. It totally freaked the both of us out!
