Why My Pregnant Self is Crying - 12/21

SnarkasaurusRex · December 2016

Figured I'd start a new one since the last one is a couple of weeks old. What's gotten the waterworks going for you lately, ladies?

Four of my seniors from last year came back to visit the school today for our annual "Alumni Fair," which is basically former students who went to college coming in and talking to seniors about their experiences to help motivate current students to pursue college (we're in a pretty poor area, so very few of our students go on to any form of higher education). I am so, so, so proud of all of the hard work that they've put in and how they're changing their lives for the better and how they're giving back to their community. They were all so appreciative of the school community that we have here and the teachers in this building that it just got to me. So often I feel like nothing I do make a difference for these kids, especially since they're a challenging group to work with, and it just made me feel so warm and fuzzy that I couldn't help it. I'm so proud of them!

We rented Pete's Dragon over the weekend. I literally sobbed through the entire beginning. I couldn't even talk about why I felt so bad and my concern about Pete to Dh because then I would start crying some more. I mean, it's an emotional opening I think but I was next level with the crying.

Last night I was wrapping presents and listening to my 90s country Pandora station. Shania Twain's "You're Still the One" came on and I about lost it. Geez I love my husband to pieces!!

Oh my I forgot to start this one last week oops!! Thanks @SnarkasaurusRex

We watched the pentatonix Christmas special the other night and the singing was so beautiful I teared up at almost every song...if I was alone it would have been full on bawling

My pregnant self cried today because I fell down the stairs and possibly broke my toe. Bumping in the er while waiting on my x-ray results. So I don't know yet if it's broken or just sprained but it was traumatizing just because my ob wanted to check on baby after my fall and I'm starving and have to pee. Sigh. So lots of frustrated tears because this is not how I wanted to spend my week off of work, and if I can't stand on this foot how am I supposed to do things like clean my house and wrap presents?

On the plus side: because my ob wanted to check me out, I got an inside look at the birthing center and I hadn't seen it yet. I really like it.

Btw baby is just fine. I didn't think I'd landed hard enough to hurt anything and most of the pressure ended up on my foot so the rest of me is fine. She's dancing on my full bladder to prove it.

And of course they covered me in multiple lead aprons for the x-ray so I'm not worried about that. But come on. Not even a heroic story or a slipping on the ice kind of thing. Just a "I fell down the stairs because my socks were slippery." Sigh.

KirstinH88 · December 2016

@HGRich I'm glad to hear baby is fine and you are (relatively) ok as well. I have stairs at home and often times my puppy will walk under my feet, so this has been a BIG issue for me. No falls yet and I'm hoping no falls ever. But I'm always EXTRA cautious now when going down my stairs, especially with the pup.

Found myself crying on and off all day bc my sister's little girl (my goddaughter, not even two yet) was scheduled for a very serious heart procedure this morning in order to correct a large hole and stenosis of one of the valves (genetic abnormality). We were all very worried about it, but hopeful. Turns out the damage to her heart is much worse than expected and cannot be corrected using a catheter so she will require open-heart surgery in the next few weeks. My sister is also pregnant, further along than me, and my heart just aches for their family in the situation. Just going under the anesthesia today was pretty traumatic and I'm so worried.

HGRich · December 2016

Thank so @KirstinH88. As an update it's definitely broken and I get a boot and crutches for sure. So that's fun. But at least I was already on vacation!

HGRich · December 2016

@Dannylion24 I'm so sorry. I'll be praying for your sister and her little one! That's awful.

KirstinH88 · December 2016

@Dannylion24 That is so terribly sad and awful! I hate hearing about these types of things happening to beautiful, perfect children. Please let us know when surgery gets closer and how she does. Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers.

mylittleirvz · December 2016

@dannylion24, prayers for all of you! Keep us posted!

@hgrich, we have a two story house and I have slid down the last few stairs of our upstairs ones once so far while prego. Just rug burned my arm and I wasn't hurt but I was so pissed off I just sat at the landing and bawled. Poor hubby thought I was seriously hurt. Nope, just my pride.

This week the emotions have been everywhere. Monday hubby came home grouchy (I'll have to post all the saga in the "why my so is an asshole" thread haha), bawled at that stuff, he ended up Tuesday morning accidentally taking both his phone and mine to work (he works 40 miles away) so I was irritated about that and cried on my way to work (stupid I know!), My co-workers annoyed me Tuesday (didn't cry at work tho thankfully!
Today I'm just grouchy, no tears yet

OK I'll stop!

@Dannylion24's story made me cry.

Earlier I cried because the outgoing champion on Jeopardy (my favorite show, btw) passed away from cancer a couple of weeks ago.

BecNJake · December 2016

I cried today because a little neighbor boy was playing football in the street all by himself. It looked really hard to play alone and I wanted him to have friends. (SO pregnant you guys)

schef070911 · December 2016

@HGRich SO glad you and baby are okay! Sorry to hear about the boot/crutches though.

Incidentally, I also fell on the stairs yesterday night while wearing socks, but I was only two steps from the bottom and I just landed hard on my right hip/glute. I was carrying a laundry basket down the stairs (which DH does not want me to do anymore - one hand on the rail at all times from here on!) I just sat at the bottom of the steps and cried because my pride was hurt and I was pissed at myself. I was not going to call OB since there was no impact to my front and Nugget was dancing around plenty afterwards last night. My hip is hella sore this morning though.

@Dannylion24 I'm so sorry to hear about your sister and her little one!! Sending prayers to your family.

HGRich · December 2016

@schef070911 thank you! Glad you are too. I genuinely didn't even notice until pregnancy that our stairs don't even have a railing. There was nothing to catch myself on and I fell about seven steps before stopping. It could be problematic later, and when carrying a newborn, so I'm gonna need to have DH install something.

Magheeta · December 2016

I noticed that DH had been listening to The Fault in Our Stars soundtrack, so I started listening to it again and holy smokes. I forgot how much I loved the music on that album. It was taking everything for me to not burst into tears on my way to work.

bww_0331 · December 2016

I just started crying while baking cookies from my grandmas recipe book with Garth Brooks' Live from Yankee Stadium version of "The river" in the background. Such a sweet song and I was reminiscing about my grandma. All the waterworks.

My students did a service project this month by collecting coins and then making cards for the Children's Hospital.

Just dropped everything off this afternoon. Yup. Definitely had to stop myself from hugging all the doctors I passed on the way in.

I saw that last night and cried, too! She seemed young, too. Cancer sucks. I thought it was awesome that they did a little tribute, though.

I'm finishing up my first year as a food service director for a school district. When I took over last year the program was a total shit show and I had to work my ass off to save it while simultaneously finishing my last semester of grad school. Anyway, I was absolutely blown away at how my ladies (I have 18 employees) showered me with love and gifts this week. I got gift cards (one to my favorite salon!), little chocolatey treats, decorative items for our new house, and even had flowers sent to my house. They are a huge part of the reason I even agreed to take over the program in the first place and they have stood behind me every step of the way. I'm just so grateful for all of them!

jennielynn+ · December 2016

@thecavfamily I cried too! She raised over 100k for Cancer Research though.

My family has a head cold. It really hasn't slowed us down but, its drippy and annoying. This is my toddler's 1st time being sick ever and I haven't slept well listening to the baby monitor at night like a crazy person. I'm scared we won't be well enough for Christmas festivities this weekend. My father is on chemo and we have a newborn in the family so, I would feel awful putting anyone at risk. Ugly Cried all morning!

The mama who had her baby at 24 weeks from the March 2017 board got to hold her daughter for the first time a couple days ago (she was 19 days old at the time). There's a thread with photos.

KirstinH88 · December 2016

@thecavfamily Yes!!! I've been following her story on her FB page. And every update makes me shed a tear.

Dannylion24 · January 2017

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but had to say thank you to @thecavfamily @schef070911 @mylittleirvz @HGRich @KirstinH88 and all others who wished my sister/bil and her little one well. I didn't see your shoutouts till now bc I'm strictly mobile and it never alerts me when I'm tagged. I appreciate the well wishes and will update. The pediatric cardiology team is meeting tomorrow to set the date for Charlotte's surgery.
