Why My Pregnant Self is Crying

TheSouffleGirl · August 2018

Loved this thread on my previous BMB, so I thought I'd try it out here!

You know you've been doing it, AND you know that there's *sob* just no one else who understands!

Last night, DH and I were playing cribbage. I threw a jack and a queen into the crib because I thought that I had a flush without them, but it turns out that I was just too dang tired to tell hearts and diamonds apart. Not only did my foolish decision mean I had ZERO points in my hand, my contribution to the crib gave him a QUADRUPLE RUN.

Needless to say, he was forced to get me a bowl of Bluebell Groom's Cake to staunch the ensuing floods before he could proceed to double-skunk me.

I'm watching those darn inspiring auditions for Idol and the Voice and X Factor. I wish I could sing more than anything and hearing their stories and seeing them succeed just puts me over the edge!

I watched Coco the other night. I’m pretty sure I would have cried anyway.

mermaidca · August 2018

@lyse01 that's my girls' favourite right now. I well up with tears every time. Such a good one!!!

I was watching the Friends episode where everyone knows Chandler and Monica are sleeping together but they won't admit it. When Phoebe and Chandler were awkwardly seducing each other and Chandler said "I cant have sex with you. I'm in love with Monica" I bawled and was like "he is! He loves her so much!". Guys, I've seen this episode at least a half dozen times and have never even come CLOSE to crying

@mermaidca I missed it when they showed it in our local park last week and then lo and behold it was on Netflix! I will be watching on repeat.

@ShallowSeas hahaha

DH asked me to go to the mall with him. I was feeling particularly pimply and gross that day, and I wailed “but pretty people go to the mall!” and started crying.
DH told me he was going to go to the other room to play a few video games while I slept (it was only 9 pm, so too early for him). I dramatically yelled “don’t leave me!!!!” and sobbed into my pillow.
There are more examples and they all follow this format: “DH said _____ and then I cried.”
Basically everything he does makes me cry and he’s fired.

Since I posted this, I discovered that our toilet sprang a leak and ran all July while we were out of town, yielding consecutive $450 and $650 water bills. Upon discovering this, I sprang a major leak also. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

@TheSouffleGirl, omg!! that's is cry-worthy any day!! how awful

I put on spotify's Disney playlist in the car when I'm driving son to daycare every morning. when I got in my car for lunch, I didn't bother to change the station and when 'colors of the wind' came on, I started singing and, and..... well...

colors of the fucking wind. what the fuck.

My bf came in and told me that Marvel has the Xmen rights back and they are going to do Xmen movies and they'll take over the avengers. I don't know whether I cried most because I can't handle the avengers being replaced or because he seemed so fricking happy about it but finally I sobbed to just leave me alone about it and I didn't want to talk about it any more.
And while I do feel slightly silly.. even thinking about it makes me have to cry all over again. I like captain america and ironman dude. Don't replace them.

I cried today when I got home from work... still trying to figure out why lol .... then my neighbor (who doesn’t know yet) texted me and said why don’t you come over for a glass of wine in the hot tub I know you had a crazy week .... yup cried again... told her i had a headache and couldn’t hang .

Ever since we moved to our neighborhood in May there has been a cute squirrel who stands up on the side of the road and watches the cars. This evening when coming home from dinner there was a dead squirrel in the road right next to his spot. Needless to say I started crying and my DH offered to throw him a funeral. Tearing up now just thinking about him and his little family.

Last week DH went out to get Chick-Fil-A for dinner because all I wanted was fries. When he got home we realized they gave DS the wrong meal, which is a big deal because of his food allergies. I was going to say eff it and just make him a sandwich, but DH immediately grabbed the kids meal, said “They’re gonna fix this!”, left his own food to get cold and went back. Seeing him go into Papa Bear mode made me get all teary!

This morning at school drop off one of the second graders started crying and yelling to his Mom “Don’t leave me. I want to stay with you.” when she walked away. The first grade teacher came over to console him. It was actually rather sweet and I almost bawled. I just wanted to hug the kid myself.

Merried_2008 · September 2018

I’m watching ER because I didn’t watch it when it was on. Dr Greene just died. Omg!

lovelybabybumpz · September 2018

When I watched crazy rich Asians with my mom
i was holding back tears. That’s as close as I get to crying.

fuzzywombat · September 2018

I cried because I was embarrassed about how much I cried at my first drs appointment

samott · September 2018

I watched the movie Annie last night and...the orphans, the dog, just everything had me on the brink of tears!

alexisjoy430 · September 2018

@kayceebaby1 I literally laughed out loud when I read your post because that is sooo something I would cry about.

I cried this this morning telling my husband that I wish he knew what it felt like to be so tired and emotional all of the time. But I also think it would be a nightmare if we both felt like this at the same time.

tumblefluff · September 2018

Reading everyone’s reasons made me cry

aqualicious · September 2018

I don’t cry so much, although I did cry at the Cole Swindell song Dad’s Old Number (made me think of DH missing his Dad). I get angry very quickly though, and I’m usually laid back and let things go easily. Not now, especially if I’m the slightest bit hungry. You best feed me quickly and don’t make comments about how we just ate and how can you be hungry already (3-4 hours later). Yep, that was MIL today, and I managed to not kill her, but damn I wanted to.

sheepshepherdess · September 2018

Cut myself slicing eggplant and started bawling. What is even happening.

molecularmolly · September 2018

I cried when the main character found out she was pregnant in Baby Mama. Like full out bawling lol.

lyse01 · September 2018

In relief that DH will not be attaching a motor to a canoe to cross a sound to an island to be late to my cousin’s wedding tomorrow.

and also in relief that I will not have to explain where he is when he doesn’t show up at my side.

wearegroot · September 2018

I just got out of the shower (after DS puked on me...yay, motherhood!) and realized all my comfy underwear was still in the dryer and rather than go get it myself, I texted the hubs and told him I needed assistance. I hear him say “I gotta go, she needs help with something.” Apparently he was on the phone with his dad talking about his aunt in the hospital and he hung up because I was too lazy to throw on a robe and walk down the hall. So, yeah, I cried.

mrstmoose · September 2018

I cried when I watched the preschoolers scream “mommy!” when it was time to get picked up. I hope DD is that excited. I’m glad I had sunglasses on.

ashtuesday · September 2018

Because my daughter has to start day care tomorrow, and it's unfair that I can take this LO to work in my belly while N has to be left behind. What does that even mean, hormones?!!?

LeslieCHNC · September 2018

My baby turned two today.
They grow up way too fast!

kaitykins · September 2018

I I got stuck in a Facebook video loop and watched a whole bunch of sad stories... bad idea.

MRDCle · September 2018

I went to Oktoberfest on Sunday and cried because I was surrounded by so many beautiful wiener dogs.

lyse01 · September 2018

Yesterday, because DD was screaming, and I couldn’t handle it. Because I had to walk away. Because someone else (not me) came and took care of her. Because I missed my family (that I had seen less than 12 hrs earlier). Because DH was trying to cheer me up and I laughed but I was still sad.

Logic need not apply.

mrsdee15 · September 2018

I thought I heard a song** that is played in the background of Love, Actually, and I thought about how tragic some of the storylines are. But the song was from this part:

** Note: I don't think that song was actually playing, just some instrumental over a commercial.

berky84 · September 2018

My 2 y/o's favorite song this week is Puff The Magic Dragon. For those who don't remember it's incredibly sad at the end when Jackie Paper grows up and doesn't make believe anymore and doesn't visit Puff anymore. And Puff is in despair and hides in his cave missing his friend. Well after a few rounds of it this morning on the drive to preschool and then having my son sing it on his own when I turned off the car in the sweetest little voice on the planet. I lost it. I held him tight as I carried him up to the school entrance squeezing him and crying thinking about the fleetingness of his childhood and how he'll be all grown before I know. I'm still getting teary thinking about it as I type thing. Oof...pregnancy hormones can calm the f down now, please.

kangstadt · September 2018

@berky84, I love/hate that song for the exact same reason. We had a beautifully illustrated picture book of it that actually has a somewhat sweet ending, and my son loved hearing it as a baby. It still makes me cry though.

MRDCle · September 2018

@kangstadt we had an illustrated copy from the library for a while - is it the one with Jackie Paper's kid as well? I def cried through that without being pregnant.

kangstadt · September 2018

Yes! At the end, he's grown up and watching his child meet Puff. I love that they gave it a "happy," ending. Yes, childhood ends, but then we get to explore the joy again through our children.

professormama · September 2018

I cried yesterday because my son accidentally bashed me in the face with his head. I knew it was an accident but I was so mad. I just ended up stepping out of the room and making my husband take over so I could calm down and get myself back together. I was bawling because I was mad, and because I was mad at myself for being mad. Ugh.

BarefootContessa · September 2018

DS had his sixth birthday party on Sunday. I cried when I set the balloons down with the weight and the flew up and off into the sky. Thanks Party City, for not tying them to the weight and also, not telling me.

jroisback · September 2018

I'm not crying but I do feel like stabbing the next person who walks by my desk....this is for no apparent reason. I'm just angry today and an not sure if it's because I got zero sleep last night or because I finished my kettle chips and I was not prepared for the last chip to be the last chip.

lyse01 · September 2018

@professormama and the being upset with yourself is almost worse!
