Tonight it was This is Us. I mean that show is brutal under normal circumstances, but I don't know if I can handle it pregnant!

Last night it was my older daughter. I was getting all emotional at what a big kid she's getting to be and how much of an awesome person I see her turning into. She was all like mom, why are you hugging me so much.

Sigh.

The St. Judes radio-a-thon. Sick kids are my kryptonite 😭

DH just sent me a pic from his business trip. It's a tiger in a cage at the retail event. He shouldn't be in such a small cage 😭😭 and why is he there 😭😭

My 5 year old cut up his waffle at breakfast the other day and I cried because he didn’t need me to help him 🤦🏼‍♀️

My 5 year old lost his first tooth.

When did he get so big?!

prpl11butterfly · February 2019

Went to have cake for my grams 81st. My great uncle and aunt (grams siblings) came by as well. GU, at 82, picked up DS and was holding him. I adore him so naturally seeing him with my son brought up some emotions. My mom got pics and they are just awesome.

I saw the How To Train Your Dragon 3 preview. It doesn’t take much these days.

Can'T wait to see it!

I finished watching Dumplin on Netflix last night and bawled my eyes out. Then I watched Forever My Girl on Prime. I thought it would be like a Hallmark movie, but it was a few notches above. Still a little cheesy, but I cried pretty much throughout that whole thing too.

The Hamilton Soundtrack. Especially the last song.

OMG yes. The last song and It’s Quiet Uptown make me bawl when I’m not pregnant.

@greenbean-2 Right?!

Watching Moana with DS and it gets to the part where she’s figured out that she’s got to put the green stone into the lava monster (paraphrasing here). And she sings this song about knowing who you truly are. Damn it, started getting teary just thinking about it. 😭😭

elle-0409 · February 2019

@stephanie123456 I still need to see Moana, but I know it’s going to make me ugly cry.

galentine · February 2019

I cried a little at Moana, but Coco made me bawl like a baby.

wintersong · February 2019

This pregnancy is SO DIFFERENT from my first two. Minimal nausea so far, only normal mom fatigue. (Both of those But me hard and early both times.) But HOLY ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS.

Today I legit teared up watching Cloudy with a Side of Meatballs with my four year old. It was the scene when Flint threw himself away in a garbage can because he thought he was junk. I was explaining to him that every person is special and no one can be thrown away. I had him say "I am special" and "I can fix my oopsy-doopsies" (what he calling mistakes). When he said it my eyes teared over and I had to wipe the corners to keep from crying!!

Don’t watch Storks. I bawled at the end

stephanie123456 · February 2019

@galentine oh for sure!! I loved Coco. Last year for Halloween, this family dressed up as Coco. The little boy was Miguel and they had a little guitar and they had speakers playing the soundtrack. The parents were dressed up as hector and Imelda. I straight up gave that kid all the candy I could. It made me tear up.

nnaelilak · February 2019

All the Opportunity memes and comics had me bawling the other week.
Toy Story 3 every time we watched it the other day (3 times, DS is currently obsessed)
Pretty much everything, really... 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

LMMama · February 2019

We've been watching the 3rd season of True Detective. I know it's a murder mystery and not meant to pull at the heart strings but the main character has some form of Alzheimer's and I tear up in his scenes ALL the time.

sorarose · February 2019

I've been prone to tears almost everyday over little things. I don't remember this being as much the case in my first two pregnancies. But every little thing that annoys me cues the waterworks.

Same! My body seems to be doing pretty good with the other early normal symptoms as compared to last two times. But the EMOTIONS are crazy this time. I'm thinking In My case it might be related to my milk drying up so quickly.

Snaps816 · February 2019

Oh Man. I was just blindsided by a University of Phoenix commercial. The animated one where the single mom gets laid off from her factory job and she's sitting at home with her box of work belongings on the table and then her little boy comes and climbs into her lap. 😭😭😭😭

I cried last night because I wanted chocolate chip cookies but I was too nauseated to actually eat them.

cuduebor · February 2019

First world problems. My Instacart delivery was cancelled on me, so I ordered pizza delivery for dinner instead and was super excited. 10 pm rolls around and I call the restaurant, but they said they never received my order because their Grub Hub tablet is down and they couldn't make me a new one because they were about to close. So then I cried into a bowl of corn pops because I really wanted something salty for dinner and all we had was cereal. Pathetic.

manillabar · February 2019

@cuduebor I would have totally cried! It sucks when you get excited to eat something and then you can’t for whatever reason

melanier26 · February 2019

I have just been getting overwhelmed very easily so it doesn’t take much for me to cry. DS asked me earlier when I’m sad every day 😢

jenferlee82 · February 2019

I am hiring a director for my organization and had to make the calls to my team members who applied but didn’t get the job. I felt so badly for them that I teared up each time. This is NOT like me, I never cry at work! Ugh!

sammygirl18 · February 2019

Someone was pregnant on tv and I was so happy for them...

It seems like I’m a happy pregnant crier, hopefully it sticks to happy tears!

I lost a fight with my 2.5 yo DS about wearing pants this morning.

I used to drop DS1 off at school in a onesie + jacket + shoes and hand his teacher his pants going “if you want him to wear them, you do it” because it just wasn’t worth the battle to me 🤣 this was a daily occurrence for a good month.

Daycare still remembers this so when his SEIT over the summer commented on how he always wears a Thomas shirt, they just went “at least he’s wearing pants!”

aevans318 · February 2019

I legit cried watching World of Dance and seeing the kid teams advance to the next level....

Snaps816 · February 2019

Today it the scene in 'Cars' with the montage of how their town lost all its business when the interstate went in. All those little anthropomorphized cars and trucks, sitting under their welcome banner, looking so forlorn.

OMG LOL I think I would have cried over this even if I wasn't pregnant!

Yesterday I cried at a Pearl Jam song...it doesn't take much for me to cry normally, but this was a first, ha!

greenbean-2 · March 2019

I’m still nursing my 1.5 y.o. when she wakes up and when we get home. I’ve been slowly decreasing the time of our afternoon session with the goal of dropping it soon. Yesterday after about a minute she pulled back, pointed at my nipple, and in a confused voice said “all gone?” Cue the waterworks. I guess my supply is dropping.

nnaelilak · March 2019

@greenbean-2 I'm still nursing my 2.5 year old twice a day and he keeps pointing and whining (he's not super verbal yet) like "mmmooommm.... Why don't you fill your milk back up? What the heck?!" his face makes me laugh, but I'm so sad my supply is obviously dropping!

greenbean-2 · March 2019

@nnaelilak Aww. It’s so hard! I mean, the whole point of reducing the time of the afternoon session was to start reducing my milk supply with the goal of weaning soonish. And pregnancy seems to be helping, which is great! But these transitions are so hard, even when we want them.

nnaelilak · March 2019

@greenbean-2 my nipples are so sore that I selfishly hope he weans, but I also had a goal of 3 years and getting to tandem nurse at least for a bit, so I know it's not what I really want and I just need to push through!

cooaladolly · March 2019

@steminist and @cmbt2 the fight is real! 20 minutes yesterday and today trying to get DS to put on (keep his legs inside) his pants. So hoping this isn't going to be a new 'thing'.

FFFC had yesterday and today off. Plenty of stuff to do, but today I never got out of bed. Wasn't even that tired, just figured I'd get as much rest in now while I could 🤷‍♀️
