My toddler refused to take a nap today, after being up all night sick & miserable with an ear infection. I'm tired, she's tired, not sure who's crankier. This child is testing my sanity today
@kate-expectations this was me today! DS1 was up all night sick, DS2 (who is almost 14 months) refused to nap while DS1 is having the longest nap of his life. I'm jealous and cranky!
So I have been very open about my IVF journey with friends and on FB/insta since infertility is so lonely and stigmatized. So everyone right now knows we are post embryo transfer and are waiting to find out if it worked. My H and I aren;t going to tell people until probably 7 or 8 weeks, which is still early, but since I have had such amazing support through IVF, it seems weird to wait until 12+ weeks.
Anyway, so a group of our friends just emailed us both saying that they know how stressful this has been for us and how long we have been trying and how hard it must be....and they emailed us a gift certificate for a couples massage and then a dinner at a Jean-Georges restaurant! *Cue sobbing*
Crying because I’m so tired, but I can’t sleep. Instead I am up feeling extremely nauseous, chewing on toast, and Netflix binging. Good thing it’s saturday so my husband can help with the toddler.
@kiwi2628 That literally made me cry just now. That is incredibly kind of them!
All the shows and movies are getting me. I watched Sing with DD this morning and cried at the end when the pig's family was hugging her and they were all so proud and now I'm tearing up again.
Yesterday I took my younger siblings (who are 10 and 8) and my bonus son (6) to the Henry Ford Museum and then to lunch. As we were sitting at lunch I started tearing up about sitting there with them.
Went with DH to see The Post yesterday. No spoilers here, but the owner of the Washington Post back in the 70s was a woman named Katharine Graham, and as you can imagine, she was not taken seriously as a leader. I'm hoping this baby will be a girl, and as I watched the movie, I sat there hoping that if I have a girl, she will grow up in a world where women are treated with more respect. We've come a long way since the 1970s, for sure, but we have a way to go still.
I was bawling after reading a newspaper article about the death of Nevel, the world’s loneliest bird. He was the last of his species and passed away huddled on his island, up next to a wooden bird figure he had tried to court for several years.
Crying in my car this morning listening to Philly's fans talk about how much the superbowl win means to them. I'm a bears fan, and i didn't even stay up to watch the end of the superbowl. WTF? Tearing up again just remembering those lovable underdogs....
This is what actually clued me into taking a test...
I asked my DH to start a venison roast in the crock pot Thursday. I gave him the recipe, was very much looking forward to the potatoes and carrots I asked him to include. When I came home that evening, I started crying because he added a green pepper which I NEVER SAID TO ADD. Totally knew I was overreacting which made me cry harder for being emotional over a damn vegetable.
Bears got into our trash can last night, and with all the construction going on down the road from us all I can think about is how many poor displaced bears there are now Then that makes me think of the polar bears which are super f*cked, so crying for all the bears
This week? Because I pulled the last can of V8 juice out of the fridge, because DF joked about the volume of my voice at a bouncy house park / arcade, because I really love the potential name we picked out for the baby, and because my daughter decided she wanted to go to the arcade instead of the movies and I really wanted movie theater popcorn.

I cried in the car on the way home from work bc I didn’t know what to make for dinner. Poor DH was super sweet about it, held my hand, and told me we were getting Boston market.
DH threw out an idea for a girl's name last night and I burst into tears immediately. Like a full on ugly cry. He tried so hard not to laugh at me, but bless him, he couldn't help it... I don't blame him lol
We just finished volunteering at a food bank. I got a little teary when they told us how many meals we had repackaged and people we were going to help. (Then on the way out, the one super close friend who knows we're pregnant - we've told two of my closest friends b/c I need a small support network - told me not to get too excited because it's so early. She's right, and just trying to help bring me back to earth, but still I moved straight from teary to just a tad bit of rage-y anger. Let me have my dance party right now darnit...and let the volatile mood swings begin!)
chopchop25 What a terrible thing to say to someone! I hate when people try to be "helpful" that way. It doesn't help in the least! I'm sorry that was said to you

Crying on and off the past few days because I finally got to see my team win a super bowl! As I’m typing this, H just ran into the room and said “can the baby’s middle name be Nick?” (as in Foles, the eagles QB) “Just think about it.” and then ran out. I may cry again now.
I’m on a work trip this week and some colleagues have received awards. I’ve cried every time...and I work for a huge company and literally don’t actually know these people. Also cried during Paw Patrol bc I loved how much DS loved the episode. Basically, anything that is even the slightest bit happy is making me cry?
I actually don't get too crazy emotional during pregnancy, but for the last couple of days I've been happy crying every time I think about telling our families that we are pregnant again.
I've literally cried 6 times today. Full on ugly cry / sobbing. I don't remember being this emotional with DD! I think I cried once when I was pregnant with her!

And cried today b/c my trainer wanted me to do 3 more reps of squats that I didn't want to do lol. My son's swim teacher told us next week is her last week, and a friends post.. yes, hello emotions!
I am not a cryer. Like not at all.... but I did get choked up during an episode of Chopped the other day when the winner started crying. Ha ha....oh boy.

I cried yesterday listening to an instrumental song on the Tuck Everlasting soundtrack because I knew what was probably happening during it...

Last night, my husband and I watched the Super Bowl episode of This Is Us...
Between sobs I was profusely apologizing to my husband for crying so hard
