    DS1's school talent show was last night and his class was doing the twist as their talent. He woke up with the stomach bug and had to stay home and missed his big solo during the dance and cried all day. Which made me so sad for him  :(. My mom felt so bad she went out and bought him a $50 Lego. And I wonder why we have so much crap in our house

    Just posted about my terrible pregnancy dream from last night, and now I'm crying about it. The anxiety is real!

    I cried yesterday putting away the dishes because I was tired and had a headache that lasted all day and I just wanted to feel better. Then I cried more because I was mad DH wasn't home to put the dishes away instead of me. Hormones haven't been too bad for me but man my crying was pretty irrational yesterday....

    I'm crying this morning because DH woke up and is taking care of the kids and making breakfast and I just woke up and feel guilty that he is doing everything by himself. Even though he keeps telling me how he wanted to let me sleep since I've been so tired lately and he was trying to do something nice for me. Now, I'm crying because it was sweet for him to do that. Ahh hormones are brutal! 
    I love and can relate to all of this  :D

    @BayCamp my mom leaves on Tuesday.  It's been so nice having her here.   Hope you had a wonderful time with your mom. 
    I cried this morning because my friend sent me a text wishing me a happy Mothers day.   She has been my rock through my pregnancy difficulties and it was so sweet.

    I'm inside wishing for the pain to go away for just a little. DH isn't sentimental at all and spent too much on a useless gift, no card. I'm hungry but in too much pain to eat and what my family has decided to eat is nothing I want. While he's offered to take me home, DD is having too much fun with her cousin and DH is having a good time drinking beer and talking with my family.

    @kaitieb14 I have the same charm and it's probably one of my favorites on my bracelet even though I usually don't like dangling charms. 
    @hmriss I also watched that video 900 times and bawled through the whole thing. 

    I have cried *yet* today

    I found the perfect changing table/dresser on Craigslist and I'm totally in love with it and I can't stop thinking about it and we can afford it... and we are second in line. If the first person passes "within a week" they will let us know.

    @irishfrisky a week is a long time to give someone to arrange pickup!! That's annoying. 

    I finally just watched the FB video of mom's meeting their babies. Sobbed. Also laughed at the comments about water birth babies looking purple and funny, and moms snapping back "if it was yours you'd think it's the most beautiful thing in the world!" My third son was born in the water and when I saw him for the first time I was like, "he looks so weird" even though I knew to expect it :D

    @MississippiCatfish I've been thinking about waterbirth I worry that I will just be painfully aware of the fact that I am sitting in my own juices and won't enjoy my baby. Am I wrong?

    @bcashaw I pooped in the water and never noticed it, I was that unaware of my surroundings. Also they changed it a few times so I never felt gross. 

    @MississippiCatfish I think what caught me the most off guard even though I'd been warned was that his head was born and I had to wait for the next contraction for the rest of him. It was like 30 seconds but the weirdest of my life just sitting there with a head poking out and my brain screaming at me to get him out of the water even though my logical side knew he was fine.

    @bcashaw I am pretttttty unaware of just about everything other than pushing at the end. And I only stayed in the tub for a minute or two after baby came and then into the bed to get stitched up. Once baby was here I was like, "okay, what next? Let's get out of here."

    @baycamp My contractions were 8 minutes apart when I delivered, so my doctor strongly encouraged/helped baby to be born all in one push;)  I love laboring in the water but I don't think I'll deliver in the water again because it just slowed everything down so much.

    @MississippiCatfish 8 minutes? My goodness, yeah I bet they wanted him all out at once! Mine were on top of each other and he had the cord wrapped 3 times around his neck so it gave her a chance to unwrap it before the rest of him came out.

    @baycamp Three times!! Wow. It's amazing what all goes on in there. And yeah, I had no idea that they were 8 minutes apart until my doctor told me at my first appt with this baby. It was like, "ohhhhhhhhh. That makes sense. It felt like years."

    Because I'm reading women's accounts of labor and delivery and because my friend who is now throwing my local shower texted me out of the blue and said "I am very excited about your baby and your baby shower"

    Sad story: my friends cousin just had a baby. The mom currently doesn't have custody, her bf does.  Because of this, it is suspected the mom was smoking during her pregnancy and maybe something much worse in her system when the baby was born. Baby was in the hospital for a while with some odd mannerisms being checked out. Moms dad won't let mom and bf live with him because he hates bf so they are living with moms mom so they can be together with the baby. Grandma, however, uses her welfare money to buy crack and told mom she did crack when she was pregnant with her and she turned out fine. 

    My friend is super worried about this new little innocent baby who is in such a bad environment and feeling so helpless because she can't do anything about it. It's sad to hear about and much sadder for her to watch, I'm sure.

    Reading the birth story thread and allll the tears. Especially @ooodalollly for some reason reading about the staff singing happy birthday got me right in the feels. 

    @DuchessOfCambridge that's so sad :-(

    @DuchessOfCambridge This is so sad! That poor baby. I will definitely keep this in my prayers. 

    Mine seems so petty now but here it is anyway. 
    Crying because my 1 year old DD had been horrible today. Crying and screaming non stop even though there is seemingly nothing wrong (fed, clean diaper, not hot or cold, toys out, tv on, I even tried Tylenol!) She's just been a holy terror all day. DH has worked overtime all week (going into work at 2:45 pm getting home at 7:30 am and sleeping until he has to get up for work). I'm so lonely and miss DH horribly. Not to mention exhausted and I feel like today will never end but I finally got DD down for bed and now I'm laying I bed waiting for DH to get home and hopefully love me.  :'( 

    LOL. I'm dying as reading this back because I'm so stinking pathetic!! Pregnancy hormones running rampant over here. Someone send in reinforcements!  :D and maybe pie.

    I'm being a big baby tonight. DH works an erratic schedule with overnights, being a paramedic and I feel that over the years, I have done well coping with this even though I dislike the overnights. This week he was home Friday, Saturday, Sunday, came home early Monday because of his sprained ankle, and he was home Tuesday. I'm dreading his next overnight, because I've had him home so much lately and I can't stop crying about it. Totally shouldn't be a big deal, but the hormones say it is!

    @DuchessOfCambridge A lot of my tears lately have been for situations like that. None that I know of personally but I just know babies and children are out there who aren't being cared for as they should be/at all and it breaks my heart. :'(

    @BayCamp <3 It makes me cry too <3

    @DuchessOfCambridge that so upsetting. What I can say is that I know that children in situations like that are often resilient and hopefully mom realizes her mistakes and is able to sort herself out. Sadly, people often have to hit rock bottom before they can start climbing out, so hopefully this is it. 
    I can also say that my stepson was born with drugs in his system and he is one of the most beautiful human beings I have ever had the pleasure to know. He has his difficulties but he never let's anything hold him back and he honestly has the purest soul.

    @bcashaw I had a waterbirth. My water was broken outside the tub and you're quite unaware of what you're sitting in aside than it feels so much better than laying in a bed. Between an induction with all the meds and epidural and the natural waterbirth, the waterbirth was hands down the best and easiest recovery. 

    I should add that they had me go back to my room to deliver the placenta so that they would have to "fish" around if it wasn't intact/complete

    @baycamp @jesslardarello @ooodalollly @bcashaw it's really so upsetting. The rest of the family is worried she'll end up in foster care since she's currently living with grandma who does crack, mom who doesn't have custody, and dad who is hated by the whole family because he's a "loser" in their words. It's one thing to do all these things when you only have to worry about yourself but to smoke cigarettes when you're pregnant? Much less whatever was in her system that isn't allowing her to have custody! You've got to be selfless with the new life you're creating. It's disheartening that she couldn't even change herself around when pregnant for the sake of her baby girl. It also makes me think of all the women who desperately want to be moms but can't and they'd be so much better at it. Life is really unfair sometimes.

    @DuchessOfCambridge that's so sad. I think is hardest because there is nothing that can be done to change the situation. It sounds like DCF (DSS- whatever your state calls their child services) is involved already. That feeling of being helpless and watching this child live an awful life is devastating.

    @DuchessOfCambridge DH's grandfathers wife's grandson has a toddler who was born addicted to drugs and is completely messed up because of it. It's so sad. Neither parent has any custody rights (and I think the mom is in jail), both drug addicts but I guess her mom (who is a good person) has custody of him. This poor 3 year old can't walk, talk or function in any way on his own. It's so incredibly sad.

    Was awake from 11:30 PM - 3:30 AM last night; crying most of the time because I was so tired and not able to sleep.  Woke up to get ready for work at 5:00 AM, DH comes to say goodbye.  Proceeds to tell me that my goodbye kiss was weak. Cue more tears.

    The rest of the day isn't getting much better, I get weepy about everything. (1) DH text to tell me that he knows I am tired but to try to have a good day. Tears.  (2) Exboss texts to tell me he heard I was pregnant. Tears. (3) The maternity pants I want are not available in my size. Tears.

    I am a mess and ready for work to be done.
