Binge watching Parenthood right now. I've never seen it before (no spoilers please) and season 4 has got me bawling!!

clickclackmoo · August 2016

Every damn Olympics medal ceremony.

bwo · August 2016

Searched "pregnancy announcements to grandparents" on YouTube. Holy water works.

schef070911 · August 2016

Read (didn't even watch!) Brett Favre's NFL Hall of Fame induction speech.

akslevin · August 2016

Video going around on Facebook of a man in Africa getting a surprise visit by his brother and mom, who he hadn't seen in ten years. I sobbed!

Soly Baby Wrap how-to video. I can't believe we will have a baby of our own soon!! Happy tears and laughter.

catem07 · August 2016

@STM2017 oh just you wait until later seasons, and the final episode!

kmb9093 · August 2016

Yesterday was a rainy day, also my husbands birthday. He suggested that we just make cheese dip and stay inside with our 3 year old and almost 1 year old watching the Olympics. That idea sounded so nice I cried while smiling!

My husband just laughed but my 3 year old son was so concerned that I was sad that it warmed my heart so much I just cried more. I had to get it together to explain it's just happy tears, sweet boy!

I was flipping channels and landed on Cast Away. Of course, it was the part of the movie where Tom Hanks is crying for Wilson. Cue all the tears.

runningpenguin · August 2016

Listening to Call the Midwife on Audible. I'm pretty sure I'd be sobbing even if I wasn't pregnant.

mrsstuessy · August 2016

Every time someone "messes up" on the Olympics I cry for them. Like, I have literally bawled over watching a biker crash and when that swimmer had a false start (and then later they decided it wasn't a false start because someone made a loud noise in the audience) I had to leave the room.

MrsBakes · August 2016

Every time I watch the Olympic ceremony and they play the national anthem, or they show the parents in the audience who are cheering their child on, every time I try to sing with my daughter - Let it Go really gets me, We are out of milk, but I really wanted to drink some milk (ok technically I didn't cry at this one, but pretty close. It's very sad when you want milk but can't have it)

STM2017 · August 2016

Did anyone see the Facebook video of the woman who had her father's donor heart recipient walk her down the aisle??? Oh my goodness!!! I'm bawling right now!

picklesplease · August 2016

My husband bought me dinner last night...that's it...I just thought that was so nice of him...

Missa0830 · August 2016

An OB resident ( not my doctor) just called saying "umm yeah, your HCG levels are too high for us to not have a visualized yolk sac, so you might want to watch out for miscarriage " she was distracted while talking to me as well- which was super comforting . I told her that although I'm not a doctor,4 weeks and a few days is pretty early to see anything .

MrsBakes · August 2016

@missa0830

OMG what is wrong with that person?!?!? So sorry you had to talk to that moron. Does she not know there is a range for hcg levels and the fact that there is NOTHING to be seen before 5 weeks. At 5 weeks you can see the gestational sac only but not the yolk yet. I really don't know how some people have jobs they do.

ebloom3 · August 2016

Because I read the line "hopes to defend his gold medal" in an Olympics Time Magazine article.

mylittleirvz · August 2016

My husband and I have been re-watching The Office on Netflix and last night we watched the episode where Jim has the DVD for Pam to watch to show her how much he loves her and she's enough for him...can you say waterworks?!!

TheJerilu · August 2016

WHY DID I WATCH THIS AT WORK:

nwshay · August 2016

My boss and his wife have been TTC for two years! So I decided to tell him I'm pregnant just to make sure they hear it from me. It's super early, but I work in dentistry and since I'm PGAL I want to make sure I'm not around nitrous and I'm taking breaks. He started crying! In happiness! Then I started bawling.. and then he told me his wife is 12 wks pregnant!!! And the waterworks continued...

got my second set of blood results back (6,448) and I told DH...his response was "you're doing a good job mom" I thought it was the sweetest thing he could have said. I'm a big baby.

scorpiomer · August 2016

Totally cried this morning after finally being able to watch the eagles game from last night! First couple plays were amazing and there I was bawling like a baby....crazy hormones

Um this just made me tear up!

clover28 · August 2016

I went to Target for prenatal vitamins and ended up in the baby section feeling the soft blankets with tears running down my face. I'm sure I looked like a crazy person.

waitingforblueskies · August 2016

The video about how people are cutting off sharks' fins and throwing them back into the water....you see them throw a shark in and it floats down to the bottom...no longer able to move and slowly drowns or starves (depending what happens first) to death....

I was screaming and crying at the same time. It makes me so sad. I watched it 5 more times today.

akslevin · August 2016

@clover28 -- yes. Sounds like we're kindred spirits.

RaisingABuzz · August 2016

My 2 year old woke up from his nap right as I was laying down. I've been so tired! My older 2 boys were fighting and screaming and I was about to totally loose it when DH walked in and hour early from work! I started crying right then and there. I was so happy to see him and have some relief. He played legos and playdoh with the boys while I rested on the couch for a bit.

lovelongdog06 · August 2016

Um, well, because I was literally cutting onions.

nwshay · August 2016

@lovelongdog06 everything I see your username I think it Saud Love long DONG. Can't help it. It's the 12 year old me.

lovelongdog06 · August 2016

Yup, I've heard that before. Long dog=Dachshund. I have two wiener dogs.

beggsyboo · August 2016

I've cried over everything from money, to why we can't decide what to paint the nursery, to my grandfather not being able to see his first grandchild have their first child (wouldn't be his first great grandchild though), I've cried over lab work not coming back normal (elevated blood platelets), and cried while watching a movie I can't remember now!

Breesy14 · August 2016

I would like to see a "Why My Pregnant Self Is Raging" thread. I have been weepy now and again these past few weeks. More stabby than weepy though. I had to force myself to laugh yesterday when I got seriously annoyed at the lady who parked next to me. The rage is real.

mylittleirvz · August 2016

I agree @Breesy14! I'm way more raging than weepy!!

SnarkasaurusRex · August 2016

The Amazon commercial with the baby and the dog. BAH!

bww_0331 · August 2016

We didn't buy the right brand of muffins....and then I cried.

mamabear2015 · August 2016

@Breesy14 Totally with you. Very few tears. Mucho rage monster.

ooohhh, this reminds me of Thanksgiving 2013 in Louisiana. I was pregnant - like 20 weeks or something. My DH's grandmother makes yummy everything from scratch the old way - you know with multiple sticks of butter and white flour and heavy cream or buttermilk. Yum.

Anyway, I was truly looking forward to her banana pudding. I had developed a craving for it some weeks earlier, but was holding out. When we got there, she greeted us, pointed in the direction of the dessert table and said in her very southern drawl, "Ah made a whaht cake this yee-ah. Skipped the banana puddin'." WWHHAAATTT??

I remember excusing myself to the restroom where I cried my effing eyes out.

The pain was real!

STM2017 · August 2016

@SnarkasaurusRex, someone in my May 2015 group just showed us that commercial. And I BAWLED!!!!!
