What's making those emotions roll today?

Today is my DS's last day in the infant room. He's been with the teacher in there for almost a year, she's like family. When you find someone you trust with your infant it is so hard to let go. And....I think they are saying my baby isn't a baby anymore? All the tears!

DD woke up ten times last night. TEN. And DH kept me up with him until 2am, and it's my "Monday" at work. I also apparently decided to start a coffee aversion today, and it's my birthday. Mulligan?

Yesterday I cried about our sweet, weird cat we had to put down in the spring and today I got teary dropping DS off at preschool. Normal day but he just seems so big all of a sudden

I cried yesterday about our dog we had to put down in May. Like sat at my desk and had big, fat alligator tears coming down. I get it.

@mrslittlemac That sounds extremely shitty. Hope the rest of your day goes better - happy birthday!

juliebird6 · January 2018

Sad news/facebook stories about kids. Like, literally I'm sobbing. Even when I scroll past some of this stuff, I still get weepy because I still had time to scan the headline. It's such a sad and unfair world.

This is a few days old but three words: This is Us. I may have to stop watching during pregnancy. I watched on Wednesday and was a hysterical basket case. DH was concerned until he realized it was just the show, and then he thought it was hilarious and kept calling me a crybaby.

ashleyandjody · January 2018

Last night I read the book "On the Night You Were Born" and couldn't even finish it. DH was all concerned because I wasn't this emotional last pregnancy.

@mrslittlemac Happy Birthday!

juliebird6 · January 2018

@legallykate That show gets me every time, pregnant, postpartum or for no reason at all. Damn those writers.

LizQ2 · January 2018

Last night I started crying when the St. Jude Children’s research hospital commercial came on.

juliebird6 · January 2018

@LizQ2 Also me, every time. And the commercials about abused pets? Can't even watch them.

hardlyhannah · January 2018

@ashleyandjody I can never make it through ‘on the night you were born’. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever read it once without sobbing.

@juliebird6 yes to the sad Facebook stories. And I’m a masochist and will actually read them too. It’s horrible.

For me today it was facebook stories and a movie preview about motherhood (posted in randoms before I saw this)

ashleyandjody · January 2018

@hardlyhannah I'm usually good with that book because it brings back so many great memories that DH and I reminisce on. Trying to calm me down, DH said "DD wasn't even born at night, she was born at 9:00 in the morning." That did not make it any better...

7425cait · January 2018

DD had had a double ear infection for the past 4 days. It's still going strong, and she had a terrible cough on top of it. So limited sleep all week. Last night she woke up complaining about her ears again and only wanted Mommy after I had just fallen asleep. I was so so tired and just wanted to go to bed. I broke down right in her room, and then she started crying because I was sad, so I started crying even more.

jsnakehole · January 2018

We were writing about how we keep Martin Luther King Jr's dream alive and one of my kids destroyed me.

mrsbubbles-2 · January 2018

@mrslittlemac Happy Birthday! And yes - you get a Mulligan
@7425cait I started tearing up just reading your post. That is so raw and emotional, I'm sorry. I hope DD feels better soon!
@livinthesunnylife I cried on the day they moved DS out of the little baby room too! I pulled his 2 teachers aside and told them that if either one of them ever consider leaving the daycare and working for a family privately that I want to be their first call. It's so tough to see your little grow up! Big hugs!

Can I just put our a blanket statement that if something doesn't make me ragey it makes me cry? Because apparently I only have 2 emotions now. And the bump had the nerve to tell me that the mood swings should be subsiding...

7425cait · January 2018

^ thank you!

juliebird6 · January 2018

@jsnakehole the illustrations are on point. So cute.

hardlyhannah · January 2018

@mrslittlemac I forgot to add the Happy birthday! I hope it starts turning better

livinthesunnylife · January 2018

@mrsbubbles-2 I know! I just want to tell the teacher I love so much that I'm pregnant and she will have our next little soon enough, but it seems weird to tell the daycare teacher so early. I do have the issue to deal with this time that they don't take infants until they are 6M. No idea what I'm going to do from 3-6M. She probably would quit if I ask her, but then I'd want her to get the job back when the new baby is 6M. Sigh

mrsbubbles-2 · January 2018

@livinthesunnylife 6 months?!? Oh my! Can you get in-home care or something like that for those 3 months? And I totally understand - there's a special bond with the provider you leave you child with when they are that young. It takes a huge amount of trust! I told DS's daycare yesterday that he's going to be a big brother! They were getting really confused about me crying every time I picked him up and he had an art project so I spilled. One of his teachers is pregnant as well so it was really cool!

livinthesunnylife · January 2018

@mrsbubbles-2 Yeah, the 6M is only for siblings too! DS started there at 8M. But we went there to follow this teacher we loved from another daycare so it worked out. I think I need an in home nanny for 2-3M, but I don't know how to find one and what the timing looks like. I doubt anyone would commit to something that short term this early? I'm hoping maybe there's a SAHM in my neighborhood that is sending their littles to school? Fingers crossed.

mrsbubbles-2 · January 2018

@livinthesunnylife A girlfriend of mine needed short-term in-home care for her littles for about a 6 month time frame while she and her husband figured out some work schedule stuff. She went through care.com and loved them. FX you find someone amazing!

Oh me to!!! I cried though the whole last show then couldn't stop crying about a son not remembering special moments with his mom. It just broke my heart.

scottishlass1213 · January 2018

I teared up last night because DS, who is 4 asked me if I was sure I could eat ravioli because of the baby. It was "making me real nervous" he said. AWWWW

Why is it only letting me type in the gray box?? GRRR....

Anyways, yes - the 3's teacher at DS's school, she still is involved a bit in the 4's class now that he's moved up and I talk to her every day and I want to be like "im having a baby will you promise me you'll still be here so they can have you " hahahha

I have never been able to read that book without crying. At this point it’s just annoying. I literally can’t get through it!

windywoman · January 2018

@mrslittlemac Happy Birthday! I hope it gets better.

I cried the other day watching Jeopardy because Alex Trebeck seems so nice. He made a stupid joke or comment and I lost it. Luckily DH was in the basement and didn't witness my foolishness.

lakesideknitter · January 2018

I heard the Navy hymn (Eternal Father, Strong to Save) today and totally lost it. My grandpa was a corpsman at Iwo Jima, and that song always reminds me of his funeral. Usually doesn't make me cry like a baby tho.

mrslittlemac · January 2018

Thanks all for the birthday wishes! It was better after I napped with DD for a couple hours before work and skipped out to get Wendy's for lunch in the middle of my shift. Long day, but ending on an upswing!

hoodwink89 · January 2018

Can I just say EVERYTHING! Bawled my eyes out on the way home because DD wasn't going to be an only child anymore and what if she hated her sibling.
Also the washer broke and flooded the basement, brakes went out on the car (we have negative degree windchills right now) and DD got sent home with head lice! Totally taken care of but can I just say I dislike school sometimes!

aj1327 · January 2018

@legallykate @danna_lyn this is us took me down this week too. I sobbed. I was thankful I was by myself because DH would have thought I lost it.

marafox · January 2018

I cried a dumb amount of times during the movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. There’s def parts to get teary eyed at but it’s supposed to be a super duper dark comedy. I guess the bleak darkness got to me cause I was a wreck the whole time.

brzvice · January 2018

@hoodwink89 so sorry about your string of back luck, those all sound like major meltdown moments in my book. Poor DD, I had head lice in first grade and still remember the trauma from it. I hope things turn around for you all this weekend.

@marafox I just can't on the dark films anymore after watching Manchester by the sea. It seems to me that all the award winning/ nominated films are macabre.

lalala2004 · January 2018

I cried at a funeral, that’s normal. What wasn’t normal was when I cried during a Christmas episode of Family Matters.

jennybeans46 · January 2018

I cried for no damn reason other than my baby looked so sad and was crying too. Stupid hormones
