@PineappleMD that has got to be tough. I'm so sorry to hear that. I work alongside docs but I can't ever have the strength to do what they do day in & day out (hence my deep found respect for them). Hope you're able to get some rest.
@Lynnlove28 - I didn't post to make anyone else feel bad! I actually love reading the funny ones on this thread... it makes me feel better when I'm at the grocery store crying because I can't choose between the 8 million pasta options! I just needed to vent for a second, and I can't put things like that on Facebook. Thanks to you all for listening. ❤
My s/o got some brochures from local daycares yesterday. While we were discussing our options, I totally lost it thinking about leaving baby boy there. I was in the middle of Starbucks and got a lot of crazy looks. He will not even be here for 6 more weeks but just the thought of being separated from him brought on major water works. Now I'm not sure I can go back to work!
TMI reason - I was horny for 4 days, couldn't get myself off, and various situations kept making it so I wasn't getting any release. So frustrated I cried. Luckily, hubby has since helped take care of it.
non-TMI reason - McDonald's' ice cream machine was broken and I really wanted ice cream.
lately a few things have made me cry, just looking at pictures of my step son on my phone how big he has got and my nephews as well made me start crying, seems like time flies and i just think about baby girl and i will enjoy every moment with her and cherish because they do grow up quick.
I put a beef roast in the crockpot, covered it with carrots, cut onions & added, did the same for potatoes, seasoned it and covered it - high heat. 20 minutes later I went to toss the Styrofoam and it was sour-smelling. So I cried over spoiled beef. For 30 minutes. I even knew it was dumb to be crying, but kept crying....
My coworker just found out that his wife had been having an affair for the past 2 years. The day I found out I cried almost my whole way home from work. We're all pretty tight knit at my office but still I don't think I'd normally get this emotional over someone else's relationship, although it is super sad!
I was driving to work this morning, trying to do my makeup at a long red light (don't judge me) and NPR had their "storycorps" segment on. That segment can be a tearjerker any time, but today it really got me! It was a young boy whose mother had died two weeks after he was born. He was raised by his sister, who was a teen when the mom died. So the conversation was between the boy and his sister, and he was asking her questions about what his mom would have thought about him now, and what traits he may have inherited from her, would she be proud, etc.. yeah, I totally lost it. I am tearing up just thinking about it! I'm having a little boy and the thought of not being there for him just got me. I totally screwed up my makeup, too. But that's my fault for trying to do it in the car.
I just finished packing my birthing center bag and the tears started flowing. It's really hitting home that it's time to prepare to get LO out. I told DH and he asked if I was crying because I'm excited. Nope. I'm crying because I'm not ready for baby to live outside me yet.
I cried last night because DH was making mozerella sticks and we were out of marinara sauce, so he ran to all three of the gas stations in town (we live in a fairly small town with no grocery store, but we're right off the highway and have a bunch of gas stations). He ended up at the one that has A&W attached, so he got himself a burger and some root beer along with the marinara sauce. I had told him I was nauseous and only wanted Mac and cheese for dinner, but I was so upset he didn't get me a root beer float. He knows how much I love them, especially when I'm pregnant. Poor DH had no idea why I was upset, and I knew I was WAY overreacting so I didn't tell him. He probably would have gone back out and gotten me one.
Air Force One happens to be on TV and I caught the end. Totally started crying at the part where Harrison Ford insists that his wife and daughter go on the plane-to-plane zip line thing during the rescue at the end. It's not even a sad scene, but it made me think about how that's what a good father would do, and that's what DH would do... dang hormones.
Oh dear... it looks like Saving Private Ryan is on next. I better not watch any more TV today, they have all the patriotic movies going.
Who knew prepping for your [first] baby's nursery would be such a bittersweet/emotional feeling? In a way, by completing this nursery was a sign that the day is almost here. By looking at the clothes hung in baby's closet or looking down at the crib just picturing our baby...
It is a bittersweet moment as I see a finished nursery and as uncomfortable as i feel these days, I look down at my belly and get a little sad at the thought of missing this bump with the excitement of meeting baby at the same time. I didn't full out cry but I got teary for sure.
Re: #whymypregnantselfiscrying
But, I cried while DD and I watched monsters inc and boo had to go back in her room and they shred her door. Gets me every time.
non-TMI reason - McDonald's' ice cream machine was broken and I really wanted ice cream.
Anyone else's wants getting strong?
Is that like spilled milk?
Hoo, boy! Those pregnancy hormones!
