I haven't cried since Monday! I am feeling the most emotionally stable ever right now. Aaaaaand now that I said that, I will probably cry tonight.

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

I cried last night because I asked DH a question about the new duvet we're buying and I felt like he didn't listen to me or care enough before offering an opinion. This morning we laughed about it and blamed all of my feelings on the cat.

One of those sad back storries on americas got talent got me.

angbaby83 · June 2017

@bcashaw those always get me even without pregnancy hormones.

Soldiers coming home.

DH wouldn't smile nicely for a picture with our son's first outfit when we got home. He was so excited when he picked it out at the store, but he said, "I don't wanna do a fake picture." Then I made him retake mine because I obviously wasn't happy in it since I was upset. A lot of guys just don't care about pictures. To me, it's a memory we will share with our kids some day.

We found out yesterday that the eye doctor our family has been using forever does not take the new insurance DH's job switched to, so now we have to find a new eye doctor and I cried about it. Seriously, this happened.

Yesterday I cried because I saw that Sesame Street added a new puppet that is on the Autism spectrum and the puppeteer who plays her has a son with autism. And now I'm tearing up again just typing this.

Again with my braces

I got the top put on yesterday and supposedly I'm supposed to be in agonizing pain, but I'm not. They don't hurt at all. There's a tiny piece that pokes my tongue which is annoying but there's wax for that. The problem is... I look 15. I look really dumb, honestly. They're crooked too because apparently my teeth are more crooked than they appear. SIGH.

OH and the lady who started the process had a really hard time finding the right size brackets for my teeth and said that's never happened before and said "you have weird teeth." Like yeah, I know, hence the braces.

NYTino24 · June 2017

@baby3forme They will hurt when you go back to get them tightened. They will be beautiful if no time! They change so fast.

baby3forme · June 2017

@NYTino24 I don't go back until September! I feel like that's a really long time.

ETA: the END of September lol

NYTino24 · June 2017

@baby3forme Lucky! I had to go every two weeks.

AntWolfe · June 2017

I cried because dh told me that with this pregnancy I've been more outgoing, laugh more and seem generally happier. It made me sad because I don't feel like I'm acting any different and I've actually struggled some with my anxiety and I feel like maybe he can't see it.

This that popped up on my Facebook feed:

Laura Mazza - Mum on the Run

June 26 at 1:57am ·

"This isn't the body you fell in love with."
I said to him.

The body he fell in love with was toned, it had muscles, there were no stretch marks on my belly, none on my boobs, no gut from muscle separation.
The body he fell in love with fit into tight jeans, could walk into a shop and grab any size and walk out, knowing it fit.
This body now couldn't shop at those stores, and mostly wears leggings. His body stayed the same, but mine changed in every way. It isn't fair...

I stood in front of him, exhausted and broken, the tears welled in my eyes, "this isn't the body you fell in love with." Then he said, "you're right. It isn't the body I fell in love with.

Instead it's a body that grew our children, it fed our children, it comforted our children, it made life. Your body is the one I fall in love with every day

I didn't know what love was until I saw this body and found out all it could do, so thank you."

Do not be ashamed of what you have, or what your mum body looks like, there's plenty of time to give up cake in the future, for now, enjoy the moments you have, and enjoy the fact that you have made something that is worth every stretch mark and every dimple.

If you needed a reminder, this is it, this body you have now, its worth every bit of love and more.

angbaby83 · June 2017

@ariasbabyblog that made me cry and surprisingly I haven't cried in awhile. All the tears today. I'm also having a super crappy day and feeling anxious about my scan next week.

Yesterday was my birthday. I worked the day prior and the day of, hard days physically and emotionally on the unit and didn't get much sleep either night before work. It's nothing new for me to work on my birthday, I usually do or I had clinical. I got home and DH tried, he and DD got my roses and he went to Lush and bought me a bunch of bath bombs and bubble bars so I could take a bath. But I was exhausted, hadn't really eaten and I was hurting. So I took a bath and asked him just to put some water on the stove for me to make pasta. Well, I stuck myself twice with the roses cutting their stems then broke one, we didn't have any Angel hair (the only thing I wanted to eat) so I ended up on the couch just crying and I know it's stupid. I really just wanted a day for me. I have one day off one day on and work 4th of July so I'm missing everything again. I wanted to do pictures today since we hadn't announced but everything is so much damn work that I don't have it in me. Next morning and I still cry for no damn reason. Wyd is wrong with me?

angbaby83 · July 2017

@MaximumEffort it sounds like a lot. It seems like when one thing doesnt go right it just snowballs. Hoping things get better and you get a day for yourself. Hang in there! Oh and Happy Birthday!

jess0211 · July 2017

I cried the most yesterday out of any other time since being pregnant. I cried after 2 hrs on the phone dealing with insurance company and glass company for broken windshield, then cried bc DH and I got in a fight, then when my Dad said something hurtful (too much history to have to share to explain).

kissthesky32 · July 2017

A lot of your posts would make me cry even not pregnant!

I cried watching Cars last night - at the end when his friends show up to be his pit crew. WTF is wrong with me?

BayCamp · July 2017

I was just using our bathroom right off our living room, and DH had just used it and left me with like 2 squares of tp. So I yelled to him that he left me with none. He copped this major attitude with me "like you've never done that to me before" and then snapped at me twice when I asked if he wasn't going to bring me some "yeah just calm down I'm heading to get it" cool, cause I can't see through the door.

Then he gets it and says "it's outside the door" so I asked him to hand it in to me. Again, attitude. So while I'm reaching to grab it I pushed against the door a little and it squished his hand. Cue the theatrics about how bad it hurt. Dude, I get it, you'd fallen asleep on the couch and we're annoyed at being woken up but next time just replace the toilet paper?

Now im sitting on the bathroom floor crying because I'm a hormonal mess and he hurt my feelings.

ETA: he apologized and once I really thought about it I was being ridiculous lol

First night away from my daughter. My husband thought we would be having an enjoyable night to ourselves and I'm over here like

We're going away for 3 nights next week and I had to remind DH today, "I know you're going to be SO excited the morning that we fly out, but I'm going to be SO nervous for the first couple hours so I'm going to need you to tone it down."

bcashaw · July 2017

My mom isnreally upsetting me. She hates the babys name to the point where she scoffs or rolls her eyes everytime i say it. She hates the theme for my baby shower (mad hatter tea party) she hates the favors ive chosen to make (teacup candles) she doesnt want me inviting my grandmas best friend (but my grandma recently passed and i feel like i need her there) she is annoyed that i didnt put "where the wild things are" on my registry same with "a is for activist".
She and i have a very close relationship and we have always carefullt tiptoed the line between friends and morher-daughter but since ive been pregnant i feel like shes been horribly insensitive and i dont even like spending time with her anymore. I feel so guilty about not wanting to hang out with her, but she recently left my dad and often bashes him. She also goes our every single night (often to the same bar) and tells me the same story over and over again. She is "talking to" a few guys which is fine with me, but theyre very close to my age and she often asks me for advice or input on stuff and its fine the first time but she dwells on it way too much. Today we went for pedicures and everytime i tried to talk about anything she would change the subject to herself. I feel like my shower invites should be getting ready to go out soon because im having 75 people at my shower so its a large event that needs a decent amount of preplanning. She hasnt done ANYTHING for mt shower except make me feel bad about it, but whenever i try to do anything for it she gets annoyed and tells me not to because she wants to throw it. I asked her to come over today because inhave some stuff for my shower and nursery and registry and she said no because she wanted to be at the bar by 4pm and it was already 2 so she was gonna go downtown and shop until thw bar opened.
I guess im just upset/frustrated with her and needed to rant.

ineedsixeggs · July 2017

@bcashaw I'm so sorry you're dealing with that.

But your shower sounds awesome.

bcashaw · July 2017

@ooodalollly thanks. Im hoping it will be good.

ariasbabyblog · July 2017

@bcashaw Honestly at this point I would get a couple of friends together and just start planning the shower. If your mom wants to join in, great, but she wouldn't be the one "throwing" it anymore. It really sucks that she is being this way, but at some point you have to live your own life and not try to live it around other people. Also, what you name your child(ren) has nothing to do with anyone but you and your DH, so she can jump off a cliff there too. If you love the name, too bad for her. If she wants to keep causing you so much pain, you need to let her know that you don't need it in your life and won't be around her if she can't keep her nastiness to herself.

DuchessOfCambridge · July 2017

@bcashaw I did teacup candles for my wedding favors. They came out great and people really liked them! I bet your shower will be wonderful.

bcashaw · July 2017

Thanks everyone. I feel like imnstressing out about this shower because its something i can actually control which is a good thing.
I have a super shitty relationship with mt dad and its hurtful that things seem to be going similarly with my mom.

BayCamp · July 2017

DH posted this today without any real reason. He's by no means a super sappy guy, and rarely expresses himself in this way. Every time I get a notification on the post I tear up a little! He's been working so hard on opening his restaurant and I'm so proud of him!

bcashaw · July 2017

Thanks @baycamp im bawling

peacedancelove · July 2017

I couldn't find my daughter's red, white, and blue sunglasses for the 4th of July parade she was marching in and that sent me into a hormonal crying rage fest. I suddenly didn't want to do anything that day and luckily my husband left me alone the whole car ride. Side note: She didn't actually need these sunglasses. I just thought they looked cute with her outfit. Lol. Luckily we got Tim Horton's and I forgot about them for a little bit.

@ooodalollly I was the exact same last week when my mother in law took our daughter on vacation for a week. Everyone was like you're going to love it and I was like I need more pictures please!

Bonnie Sue · July 2017

Lately the question o me should be why I'm not crying. The list would be much shorter, lol.

ariasbabyblog · July 2017

We were at the store and I wanted to buy snack sized bags for the boys snacks and DH said why not get the sandwich bags, they are cheaper? I went off on him about how he always does this and his way must be better and I burst into tears in the middle of the aisle.

MaximumEffort · July 2017

I got stuck in bed and I didn't want to wake DH to help me move, the pain during the turn didn't help. I could do labor and deliver pain med/intervention free but I knew that was short lived, there was an end coming up and that all I had to do was labor. This? Theres at least 15 more weeks for me and I can't just stop life.

MaximumEffort · July 2017

@peacedancelove, now I want Tim Hortons, I LOVE their breakfast biscuit and donuts. I don't think we have any more in CT.

kdl89 · July 2017

A co-worker just sent me a 2 min video titled “When kids have a dog, they don't just grow up with a pet — they grow up with a best friend “ … yup all the tears while watching the littles with their dogs. I hope my baby and our dog can be friends like the littles in the video.
