Why my pregnant self is crying- 8/11

pghren · August 2017

What's got you tearing up this week

ngolimento · August 2017

I was watching America's got talent, and there was a precious little girl on there who was an amazing singer. Turns out her mom was pregnant, and was bawling on the sidelines while watching her. I was like "omg girl, we are both too pregnant for this! Waaaaah!"

pghren · August 2017

There was a sad story on one of the morning shows. I had to leave the room until it was over

jbn999 · August 2017

I have been holding back tears all day today thinking about how much I dislike my full-time job and wish I could stay at home with my DS. My heart aches for him when I'm not with him.

Edited to add: it doesn't help that my vet told me on Saturday that my dog only has 3-6 months left to live. He's been there from when I was single to getting married and having my DS.

whatabout2ndbreakfast · August 2017

@jbn999 I could have wrote your post. I came here to say my job is making me cry, and I'm considering starting a job search even though I'm pregnant.

ladythrice · August 2017

Because I'm excited to be pregnant.

Because its my third and probably last kiddo.

Because since its my last I need to enjoy enjoy every freaking moment. Even all the stuff I hate.

Because since its my last I need to remember every little thing about being pregnant.

Because what if I want another baby after this one?

Because I'm freaking crazy.

@ladythrice I vote you have six because hello your kids are adorable

maureenmce · August 2017

Because the orchestral version of the Superman theme by John Williams played on the radio this morning. I have NO idea why that made me lose it, but ok!

kindbytealikat · August 2017

A local friend from DS BMB sent me these because she knew I was having a rough week. Yes my pregnant self dug in before I thought to take a picture.

rbs2015 · August 2017

I'm cancelling plans left and right which is what I did when I was newly pregnant with my first. This time I feel worse though bc it's like play dates for my daughter. Been having a shitty week. Should I feel like a terrible person?

kimmerann3 · August 2017

Ok. I just had my first hormonal cry...a good friend told me she can't hang out with me on my birthday. I know it sounds stupid. But I live away from all my family and only have a few friends. My hubby will be working all day and I just want some adult interaction on that day and maybe a pedicure. So I cried about it. lol I'm not mad at her but more feeling bad for myself. Ok end hormonal rant.

allen4tl · August 2017

Because the three kids on jeopardy teen were thanking their family and quiz bowl coaches....what the what?

merrypotter · August 2017

My son and I went to the grocery store and the greeter there was younger gentleman who had some sort of disability, I'm leaning towards autism because my little brother has autism and the similarities were uncanny. Anyway, he was SO nice and made sure to say hi or bye to everyone that walked by him and absolutely made sure every child that passed got a sticker. He was so sweet. When we got in the car I was tearing up because I was so happy for him to be working and to have been accepted into the work force. Seriously warms my heart. My baby brother just started high school and I hope he gets the opportunity to work, have friends, and so on. Gah I'm such a mess!

mellie5909 · August 2017

@jbn999 @peppersmith22 I'm right there with you guys. I come home crying everyday. I hated my job even before pregnancy and was looking for another but now I'm not so sure if starting a new job is the smartest idea ugh

1fish2fishredfish · August 2017

No tears this week. Just irritable AF. I hate everyone and everything.

holly321 · August 2017

I couldn't get my kids to sleep tonight, it took 2.5 hours. I really lost it. And then I had to go grocery shopping. I was going to go school shopping, but I couldn't take anymore

julzy · August 2017

I just lost it watching the coverage of the white supremacists' and counter protestors in Charlottesville. Sobbing.

I can't handle the news right now and keep myself sane. Listening to people talk about how close we are to nuclear war, and watching so much horrific hate is beyond my emotional limits right now.

Literally, JUST, came here to post the same exact thing. Horrifying.

beenabee · August 2017

No reason at all #pregnancy

justkeepswimming8 · August 2017

American Ninja Warrior.

RitaSCarter · August 2017

The first part of last week's Game of Thrones had me in tears (the second part had my heart racing on fear).

pghren · August 2017

America's Got Talent

jilliant26 · August 2017

Read "The Giving Tree" to DD before bed. Damn, that book is sad...

mignov · August 2017

We were on a camping trip to France with DS who was a very crappy sleeper in the tent (too cold/damp etc) so I was already worried about him being too cold but also about the noise that undoubtedly woke up neighbors. Next morning I saw my very nice British neighbor and apologized about the crying and the fact that we most certainly disturbed their sleep. He looked me deep in the eye and said: "You should never - ever- be sorry about that." And he gave me a big smile. Yup, I cried...

momfromthemountains · August 2017

For some reason I keep crying randomly because I mis my Grandma. She passed over a decade ago when I was a Freshman in high school. I have no idea why I'm suddenly so upset about it or why I keep thinking about her.

saralee797-2 · August 2017

@justkeepswimming8 elaborate please lol

Yes all of this. DH is a news junkie and I have to keep telling him to turn it off. He was watching videos from Charlottesville on Saturday afternoon and I couldn't handle it.

Omg and it is so graphic too! I can't even with that right now.

justkeepswimming8 · August 2017

@saralee797-2 - lol the baby daughter of one of the ninjas recieved a kidney donation from a stranger because of ANW and one of the women's runs. ANW usually has me crying at least once in every episode.

pghren · August 2017

My grandmother and my mom pulling out of the driveway to drive my grandmother back to Florida

saralee797-2 · August 2017

@justkeepswimming8 Haha okay that makes a little more sense. I thought you were just upset someone won/lost.

luna8433 · August 2017

@saralee797-2 they do a lot of back stories on ANW and some of them are really touching or moving like why am I just sitting here I have to do something more productive. I only watched this season the guy run with a prosthetic leg. So inspiring.

@Jilliant26, DH HATES that book. He thinks its literally the worst lesson on teaching kids to love. I have fond memories of it as a kid so we bought it for DS when I was pregnant. DH was excited to read it and when he finally did he was like, "this is a TERRIBLE story." Afterwards, I was like, well, I guess, it is kind of sad, but its an example of how much the tree loves him! That'd the tree would give everything. He's like, yeah, that's nice but I don't want to teach our kids to be selfish SOBs...... lolololol

kbeers13 · August 2017

Because DH asked me to pick up my clothes on my side of the room... Lol I'm nuts right now! Also about half of the videos on fb make my eyes well

I didn't remember it from my childhood and the first time I read it I was like damn, that's depressing for a kids book. Now I'm all full of pregnancy hormones and get chocked up at the end!

*TW My mom said the reason behind the book is that he and his wife lost a child. I guess their son, Nicky, as that is who the book is dedicated to. /TW*

kindbytealikat · August 2017

***Possible TW
@jilliant26 I had read recently about that being the reasoning behind the book. My DH had a big issues with the book Love You Forever, the whole mom rocking her grown man child. When I told him it was wrote after the authors wife had a miscarriage he changed his mind.

Dumbgurl04 · August 2017

i can totally see your DH point @ladythrice also maybe you don't want your child to love someone so much and just give and give and never get anything in return from them. That could be pretty bad, and agree with @jilliant26

the only crying I have done so far this pregnancy was an angry cry because someone screwed over something at work and it had a big affect on some of the work I do and I was soooooo angry I had some tears. This feels so abnormal for me I was a crying fool my last pregnancy.

ngolimento · August 2017

@ladythrice I am with your DH on The Giving Tree, lol. I hated it as a child SO much, and even more so as an adult. Not only do I feel badly for the tree, but I frigging hated the kid in the book. Nobody should ever use someone that loves them like that. Even if the love isn't returned, nobody has any business treating someone that way.

Now I feel all conflicted that I know the backstory, but I still land on the side of "hate it".

dlammers · August 2017

I'm not too emotional right now...just very short tempered. I feel really bad for my family. Last night I was laying in my husband and he just sat there and took it and just kept saying "ok". I walked away to give the twins their bath and felt like a complete idiot for yelling at him for absolutely nothing!

pghren · August 2017

@kindbytealikat now I'm tearing up about Love You Forever
