The other day on my drive to work I was listening to the Hamilton Soundtrack. For those that aren't familiar there are a couple of sad songs toward the end. When they came on I full on started bawling even though I've listened to that soundtrack like a hundred times without that reaction. That's when I knew the pregnancy hormones were real.

I ugly cried this morning when my almost 2 year old DD dropped her cup of cheese doodles all over the floor for the 100th time. That wasn't even what made me cry. While I was picking them up she came over and hugged me and kissed my cheek and said "I'm so sorry Momma! I love you!" Ugh! All the feels!

I’m ugly crying because I was talking college volleyball with a co-worker and some students interpreted me bitching about the college team as me bitching about my 8th grade team, and now all the kids hate me.

I cried last night reading DS a book and it said something along the lines of if I do something wrong will mommy still love me, of course mommy always loves you. We’d had a rough day together so that got the water works going.

That video of the guy saving the bunny from the wildfire in California.

Looked at DH and said, “I’m so effing pregnant.”

derbysquirrel · December 2017

I haven't lost it yet during pregnancy, but my husband still talks about when I had my IUD removed 7 years ago.

I saw a sign on the Tae Kwon Do studio advertising "Karate for Kids" and mentioned to husband that I found it odd that a Tae Kwon Do studio would teach Karate. He explained that they DON'T teach Karate, but just call Tae Kwon Do Karate, because Americans don't know the difference anyway. I got extremely upset about
A: False advertising and
B: That Americans don't know the difference because of stupid things like that sign.

When my husband didn't immediately agree with me, but tried to instead point out how much it didn't matter, I started bawling.

I'm usually very level headed and rarely cry, so this freaked him out. I'm just waiting for a similar pregnancy incident.

@mrsinterweb that soundtrack makes me cry not pregnant! Even after many many listens. Although I think I permanently became more weepy during my last pregnancy. Haven’t cried yet, though.

aj1327 · December 2017

I cried yesterday because it snowed. I’m in Texas and it snows here like once every 10 years. But I’ve never cried over it before. DH definitely made fun of me. Lol.

LC12261012 · December 2017

My kids are pushing me to the limit this morning, I'm so tired and nauseous and they are being so naughty, demanding and whiney. I snapped and yelled over a spilled drink and then promptly felt like the most horrible mom ever and started crying. I apologized and hopefully we can all take a nap soon and try this again.

mrslittlemac · December 2017

@LC12261012 sorry lady! Rough morning here, too. Leap maybe? Mags is on a roll the last couple days!

I cried yesterday because our car wouldn't start again and I started wondering wtf I was thinking bringing another kid into this situation. Then started panicking about said car's chances of starting when it comes time to get to the hospital. Looks like we'll be saving for more than just the deductible, this round...
I'm thrilled at the idea of my kids being so close in age, but am feeling irresponsible too, since dropping down to part time when DD was born has really put a burden on DH to pick up overtime, etc.

Also, I burned my last bagel. Cue the ugly crying

chickadee55 · December 2017

I cried last night because I was craving my favorite nachos from a Mexican restaurant we go to for date nights, but queso and Mexican cheeses are on the can't-eat list.

We ended up making our own nachos with homemade pasturized cheese queso. It was good but it wasn't the same

so I cried again lol.

aj1327 · December 2017

^^^ I ate my weight in queso last week. Oops

princesslockness · December 2017

As long as the cheese is pasteurized you can have it.

Can totally relate to all of this. It's so easy to get stressed over finances and such. It sucks.

lalala2004 · December 2017

Well, I finally cried this afternoon after my son has the most embarrassing tantrum ever and I almost missed my friend’s wedding. The MOTB asked my mom if all grandchildren were this way

Sorry, FTMs, that’s what you have to look forward to in a couple years... He is sweet the majority of the time, but sometimes when he doesn’t get his way....

GoyaBean913 · December 2017

Ugly cry #1: i wanted but couldn't get stir fry.

Ugly cry #2: i watching the movie the holiday. The part where arthur abbott is about to go on stage without assistance but loses confidence in himself until suddenly the song jack black (cant remember his character name)made for him comes on and now arthurs all like " i can do it!" .yea. I fell apart. Rewound it. Fell apart again.

jessmb14 · December 2017

I just cried watching a Christmas movie. Not Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life but The Santa Claus. I just cried watching a Tim Allen movie...

Firemanswife11 · December 2017

Yesterday I SOBBED because I saw a video on Facebook about a starving polar bear. My husband started cracking up and I cried, "Our grandchildren may never see a polar bear!" Then I realized the Christmas leggings I had on had a polar bear and I cried because clothes manufacturers may one day not even use polar bears on their clothes. And I cried about Coca-Cola not being able to find polar bears. It. Was. Ridiculous. I'm pretty sure DH took a video of it. Major hormones this time around, OMG.

Uhhhh. In Texas, queso is one of my necessary food groups. I guess I know you can't have "soft cheeses," but I never heard that about queso!

princesslockness · December 2017

@Firemanswife11 That is hilarious!!!
I absolutely lost it all yesterday afternoon. My parents took L for a week, so we could finish unpacking and have some nice time with E. So everything I see, that reminds me of L, set me off. His sippy, his dinner bowl in the sink, folding his laundry, making his bed . . . I just couldn't handle that my 'big baby' was gone and I had let him go.

cwagner86 · December 2017

My son starts kindergarten in August my daughter starts pre-school and I’ll have a new baby. For some reason the thought of this made me bawl for like an hour.

kindbytealikat · December 2017

I was at the gym and the song Rise by Skillet, at the end plays some real broadcast and 911 phone calls.

It’s a little hard to listen to already but yep couldn’t do it this morning. Then on the TV was a Salvation Army commercial and I thought about the fact I keep forgetting my toys for tots contribution.

Edit it to add song title

hardlyhannah · December 2017

I cried reading about the NY bombing this morning.

And then again while on the phone with a nonprofit event my company is looking to sponsor, that benefits guests who are disabled and don’t get celebrated often enough. Thank god I wasn’t leading it and I could just mute myself.

Stuck in the quote box but as a fellow Texan I think most queso is okay. Like for example Kerbey Lane queso (one of my faves) is just "organic whole milk, American cheese, onions, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and cilantro" according to their website, so totally fine. I guess the only potential concern is really authentic Mexican places that use queso fresco or cotija in theirs, but you can always ask!

legallykate · December 2017

I haven't been teary yet, am I am emotionless monster?

ncnole26 · December 2017

@legallykate me either! I don’t generally cry often, but I keep waiting for it! I guess I’m an emotionless monster too hahaha.

elladae · December 2017

@Firemanswife11 I am pretty sure I cried from the exact same polar bear video!! My husband had to calm me down... but seriously that video was so sadddd!

ecwk · December 2017

I was washing my hands in the bathroom and wondering if we are crazy to be adding another kid and then I got to thinking about how I will be giving DS the greatest gift ever, a friend for life and it made me tear up right there. #TotesEmosh

hardlyhannah · December 2017

@ecwk I’ve cried over that several times already too. It always starts from a guilt side though, like I’m going to rock DS’s world and he’s going to hate me. But then it comes around to him becoming an amazing brother and bffs for life

ecwk · December 2017

@hardlyhannah
So true. It does make me sad that he will no longer be the only child, he is the absolute center of our universe and he knows it. I think the adjustment will be hard because he is such a mama's boy but like you said - bffs for life. I think my heart will explode seeing him with a baby sibling!

hardlyhannah · December 2017

@ecwk apparently he asked DH for a baby sister in the car on the way to daycare the other day, so maybe it won’t be so bad. Right?!

princesslockness · December 2017

@ecwk @hardlyhannah It can seriously help a kid to have a sibling. L loves his baby E. At 15 months he started to help with her bottles and get us every time she cried.

llduke74 · December 2017

I haven't noticed myself get overly emotional yet- (5+3) except when watching Shark Tank (of ALL the shows...that one gets me in the heart.)

starandrainbow · December 2017

On GMA this morning when they gave coats to children who needed them.

full disclosure: I would cry pregnant or not! lol

lakesideknitter · December 2017

There's a lame commercial about a woman making a tree that was important to her parents into a dining table for them. I'm not an emotional person at all, so when that made me cry, I knew it was time to take a pg test.

juliebird6 · December 2017

You guys. I'm so embarrassed to admit this. DH and I watched Home Alone last night, and I got very weepy when his mom finally made it home on Christmas Day. I felt like the biggest idiot.

lauramariiie · December 2017

My husband licked my face.

I normally laugh when he does this because it’s gross and freaks me out. This time I started hysterically crying. That was a reaaaaaaaal weird moment for me.

jsnakehole · December 2017

My doctor won't be calling me until tomorrow and I'm barely holding it together in the nail salon right now. I just want my damn bloodwork back.

neeraja_k · December 2017

I had a good cry in the Dollar General parking lot because I was craving Spagettios and I realized my husband didn't like them and would probably starve for dinner (not really, he can forage on leftovers).

Even I can't hide from the absurdity of that after the fact.

mrs_drc_rn · December 2017

I think tomorrow will be my day to cry. It’s the only day I have to get presents wrapped before Christmas since I work all weekend and I have literally nothing done. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it. And the fact that I have to work the entire holiday makes me want to cry!
