I hijacked this from another month group- the responses were a mix of sweet/sad and hilarious. Let’s do it- let us know why you’re crying these days 😭😂!
Re: Why my pregnant self is crying...
Yesterday I cried because a spork mysteriously showed up in our kitchen sink. Like, a metal camping spork that I had never seen before. My parents and four sisters are visiting, so I assumed it was theirs and ran it through the dishwasher. When I was putting away dishes, I asked who's spork it was, and my entire family (DH included) claimed they'd never seen it before in their life. I went from being annoyed to laughing so hard I was crying to crying because I could tell I was in the middle of a mood swing, all while holding the damn spork!
We still have no idea where it came from.
I'm most confused at how it ended up in our sink.
I cried bc the drive to Florida was too long. I was uncomfortable and couldn’t find a position to nap in. I felt like a cranky toddler.
Two yrs ago on 6/29 I saw Adele’s farewell show @ Wembley. I sat and watched my videos I took and cried - bc well, she’s Adele, and hormones, and she writes sad damn songs.
This morning it was over scheduling my daughters 4 year wellness check. I'm not ready for her to be so big!
The Kentucky Derby ??? I guess I was sad for the horses (which I guess is a good one)
My FIL told me to change wording on the invitation I was designing for my brother's wedding
The Weather changing
Castaway w Tom Hanks (also justifiable)
Masterchef kids
USA Gymnastics (I literally YouTube'd this to watch some highlights and then cried???)
Fortunately, hungry pregnant lady also ordered pizza, buffalo wings and dessert.
this reminds me of when I was pregnant with my first. Dh and I were watching my nephew, he was about 6 months. We had a horrible evening, since we had no toys or anything, we had to hold him all evening to entertain him, and it was hard to eat dinner, etc. I ended up bawling saying we ruined our lives by getting pregnant, and then my nephew started to bawl too.
That part all kind of makes sense to cry about. What won’t make sense is that I’m going to start balling my eyes out next time I find a dime on the ground!

Like yesterday, we were driving to our 4th of July getaway, and the classic song “American Pie” comes on. I sang along with the ENTIRE THING (looong song if you haven’t heard it). When it got to the end, I realized I’d been tearing up for most of it, some from reminiscing about learning the lyrics back in high school with an old best friend that I only see through social media now, and some tears because the song lyrics are mourning the loss of American innocence due to societal changes...🎶❤️😭😂
So, we live in a nice suburban neighborhood most of the year. However, some of our neighbors are assholes on national holidays, and don't give a crap about their other neighbors/pets/babies/vets with PTSD, and will shoot off fireworks at all hours of the day. New Year's Eve was our last straw, our poor dog was terrified and had such a hard time, and we decided we needed to send him to the kennel for the 4th of July. Our kennel we use for when we go out of town and can't take him with us is actually pretty swanky, and has "quiet rooms" where the dogs can't hear what's going on outside, and they have soft, soothing music pumped into them. We booked him back in February, that's how fast those rooms book up for these holidays, and we're happy knowing he'll be safe and feeling good tomorrow.
So this morning, I'm getting ready to take him (because there's no drop-off or pick up on the 4th itself), and when I come downstairs, I see my husband sitting on the ground, with my dog's head in his lap, just stroking him gently and saying to him softly, "Don't worry, buddy. Someday we'll live somewhere where we have lots of land for you to roam, where there aren't any neighbors around to set off fireworks and scare you, and where you'll be able to spend every single holiday with us for the rest of your life."
I'm crying again now remembering it. And I miss my dog, even though I just saw him this morning. And my neighbors are jerks.
1) Kon Mari-ing the kitchen so we can actually fit baby supplies, discovered the crystal champage glasses my parents were gifted on their 10th anniversary, that my mom then gifted to us on our wedding day, were somehow put in a stupid location where they could've been broken. And surprise, surprise, one was cracked beyond repair.
2) STRANGER THINGS 3. HOLY CRAP.
Off to cry in a corner now.
On a funny crying note, DH last night was telling jokes with DD and was making up jokes about Disneyland. He made up a joke about BB-8 (droid from Star Wars) and said, “Why did BB-8 get kicked out of Businessland...” instead of Disneyland, and cracked himself up to the point he was tearing up. I didn’t hear him at first, and when he repeated it, we were both crying/laughing. DD didn’t think it was that funny, but I’m still giggling about it 😂

i cried because I randomly remembered seeing a picture of a few years ago of a veteran crying at a parade because he was the only one left from his unit.
So I did it. And I was off key and just not coming in at quite the right times. No one said anything, so I'm sure it wasn't as bad as I thought it was in my head, but I basically raced out of there and avoided speaking to anyone when we were done, and cried the whole way home, I was so embarrassed...which is NOT like me. Pre pregnancy, if that had happened, I'd shrug it off and forget about it quickly. I'm an extrovert, and LIKE being on stage. But I'm still mortified and am actually nervous about singing on Sunday....I'm just grateful I don't have to actually sing solo then, that was just for rehearsal. Damn pregnancy hormones.
@rjgmcmanus I’m sorry you were embarrassed having to improvise at your rehearsal. I’m a singer, too. You should feel flattered that they asked you to fill in! I know I’m my own worst critic on this stuff- I’m sure you sounded way better than you think you did ❤️ Go easy on yourself, pregnant mama😊
