Cried because my DH didn't hug me when he got home from work and I asked for one. To be fair, he works outside and was overheated and probably wanted zero touching, but I spent all day on the couch feeling like death and just wanted some cuddles.
My kids are testing me so much tonight. I think I'm overly sensitive but they are pushi mg every single one of my buttons and H is out during dinner, baths and bedtime. If I could drink, tonight would be a night I would drink. I'm exhausted and not being a good mom and it's so upsetting.

Just saw a commercial for a tv show. A million little things. And it was James roday from psych holding a box of Charleston chews at some woman’s door. I used to love love love psych. And he looks like a sweetheart in this two second scene I saw.
I watched a highlight reel from the first two seasons of This Is Us and sobbed the whole way through, watching bits of scenes I've already watched. I don't think pregnant me will be able to handle season 3 starting up in a few weeks.
@sheepshepherdess, yep, definitely hormone related I'm sure. He's also not the greatest at cuddling or physical affection when I'm feeling anxious, so it's been hard when I'm feeling so gross.
@mermaidca, try not to beat yourself up (I know, easier said than done). We all have off days/nights, and this whole parenting thing is hard enough with one, I can't imagine having twins! I get mom guilt so badly some days, but I've gotta remind myself that I need time for me too sometimes. Bedtime is always the worst for me if DH isn't home - I lose my temper soo quickly.
Well I cried for the first time today.... DH and I carpool and I have been feeling so crappy so the minute he pulled up to my job I cried. Took a lot to get out of the car. I just want to be home in my comfy clothes on the couch

I cried because DS was playing with a baby doll and he was cuddling it and kissing it and I just thought about how much he’ll love being a big brother! (He also grabbed it by the foot and flung it around so it wasn’t a totally idyllic scene)
@wearegroot eating doll's head sounds about right. My son has a doll, and he exclusively uses it to take on "runs" with him. It would be cute, but he's so wild and crazy with the toy stroller that he's about to fling the doll out half the time. I need to start encouraging him to pretend big brother more often...
Hahaha, omg, I'm sorry, but I LOVE reading all of these!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one crying. However, my reasons aren't as entertaining. I just flat out cry for literally no reason at all. It's very confusing.
@berky84 I never realized how sad the end of Puff the Magic Dragon was until i was singing it to my daughter as a newborn and postpartum hormones had me so choked up I couldn't sing the last part. So ever since I skip that verse.

I watched Bridge to Terabithia for the first time. Did not expect that ending at all! Then my kids wanted to know why I was crying and so sad. I cried big tears.
I actually started bawling today when an onstar commercial came on the radio and the woman (real recording) said her car was sinking under water and she couldnt get out. I blame hormones bc I definitely wouldnt openly sob about that otherwise, but WTF onstar?? What an awful commercial! [btw- the caller got out obviously]
Also, it should be illegal to send your first born off to kindergarten for the first time and your youngest to preschool for the first time, all while dealing with pregnancy hormones.
Read some letter from a veterinarian on fbook today about how you should never leave your pet by themselves if they're being put to sleep because they always frantically look around for the humans they love because they're so scared. Cue tears. I'm crying again just describing it. I came home and gave my pup extra love
Craved bean and cheese tacos all day while at work. Came home, literally ran to the kitchen and practically inhaled my tacos after making them. Cried tears of joy.
Mom husband and I have a long red eye flight coming up and I cried when he tried to tell me where our seats were on the flight...because I couldn’t understand what he was saying. So now I’m emotional AND my brain doesn’t work. Great.
We were on a long drive and decided to stop at Mickey D's to use the restroom- I really needed to pee!. Literally as we were pulling up, a TOUR BUS- I'm not joking- a f#*@ing tour bus- stops right in front and like 30 older people get off and go directly inside to line up at the restrooms. It was all I could do to not burst into tears and start physically assulting people.
DH and I started watching Star Trek TNG a year ago and we finally watched the final episode last night. The episode didn’t make me cry, but 10 minutes after it was over we were just chilling on the couch and I suddenly burst into tears because it was over. Seriously! I’m crying over a show that ended over 20 years ago!
Cried leaving my OB because I thought I’d be getting an ultrasound or at least hear a heart beat... instead I got charged $130 for an “establishing a pregnancy” appointment, gave a urine sample. Got a handshake and a congratulations, was told I was about 9 weeks and not to eat deli meat. Then off I was! My next appointment is a month away at almost 13 weeks for my first ultrasound I don’t have a ton of symptoms so at least a heart beat would have made this all feel a little more real.
@jecrae Aww, yeah, that's disappointing! I would have been upset too, it doesn't take long at all to do the Doppler, I wonder if they just have too much trouble finding the little ones at this point and didn't want to worry you? I think with my last one, I didn't get the Doppler until the 12 week appointment, but I had gotten the ultrasound at 8 weeks I think. I'm still waiting on an ultrasound too, but I haven't had my first appointment yet either. I hope the time passes quickly for you!
When I went grocery shopping last week, I thought, "We should have some soup in the house." I picked up a can of Campbell's tomato soup and noticed they'd changed the label. "Why would Campbell's do that?" I wondered, and I saw some of the old labels, but I thought, "Nah, I'm not gonna be that ridiculous. I can deal with a new label." Cut to yesterday: my husband and I both got hit with a stomach virus on Tuesday, and all I could stomach was the soup. As I went to prepare it, I realized it was not a new label - it was a different brand of soup. Does soup branding actually matter that much? Not really. But when you're pregnant and sick... I cried hysterically and dumped it all down the drain.
I’m having my parents over for dinner tonight and I’m sad because I shouldn’t spend money and take them to a restaurant, but if I cook I have to go to the grocery store meat section and get something and I have no idea what to make.
Wish I could just eat white rice with a little butter for every meal.
@jecrae That's how my first appointment was as well. I did get to go for a dating ultrasound but I also have a history of twins. Last night I had another appointment with my doc - I'm 10 weeks and she tried to listen for the heartbeat but couldn't find it. She said it's simply too early and the babe is far too small for that machine to find it which puts a bit more fear and anxiety into me, really. Hopefully these next few weeks go quickly for you.

I mean, I’m not crying (yet), but someone in this household should be made to cry over their terrible decision to dump a dozen meringues, a few macaroons, four m&m cookies and a freaking apple cider donut in the garbage. The dessert plate came home with us from the block party twice the size less than 36 hrs ago.
