Someone made us personalized receiving blankets with baby's name on them, which was just so sweet. I'm sitting on the couch snuggling with one and crying because things have already gone sideways at work today after I spent Saturday morning on the same problems. I'm so done with work, but here we are.
@vampirina baby race is such a good episode!! When the mom friend tells her she’s doing a good job, OH MY GOSH. And when Bingo is like “she must have seen something she really wanted” !!! Cue sobs!!!
I am not kidding, my kids have watched Luca like 6 times already since it came out on Disney+ last Friday and I cry so hard at the end every. single. time.
Oh, let’s add to it! UPS lost a package of mine over a month ago. I tried to file a claim, but can’t because they aren’t delivering it. Filed the claim with USPS but they never received the package so can’t do anything about it. The company I bought from only could refund me the money, not replace the order and I’m honestly just pissed and crying because I just want my damn books. 😭 F these hormones.

Apparently cheesy Mom memes make me cry. I was just scrolling IG and lost it at one that said: "Hold them tight, Mama. You'll get your arms back one day and wish they were still full." Cue ALL THE TEARS.
DH told me last night how much we/he has in savings and I started crying happy tears lol. Not even because of the money but because he works so hard and deserves it. He owns his own business and I’m just seriously so proud of him for how he’s legit built himself up from nothing. All the long nights of not seeing him are paying off and I know he’s doing it all for our family. We struggled with debt before multiple times so feeling secure right now is just such a relief. So thankful.
I cried because DH hurt my feelings… and because I thought I was getting pulled over on the highway the other day.. but he flew around me. And I cried again. 😑
DS has been obsessed with the Luca movie, I think someone else mentioned this too, but I couldn't find the post. I cry at the end every time. On a complete opposite note, despite crying at so much, we're still watching Master Chef, and every time someone cries because their dish is bad I roll my eyes and tell them to suck it up, balance I guess
I had a good cry last night. H And I were reliving the day our daughter was born. He was telling me what things were like from his perspective, and how he felt like his one job was to stay strong for me. Apparently he was very concerned by how much I was shaking during the urgent csection and was worried something was seriously wrong. He said that he wanted to get DD over to me as quickly as possible in case it was my only chance to meet her. I'm tearing up again just thinking about our conversation 😭
@noprobalo, I think that's exactly it. He felt like his job was to just keep me calm, so he didn't want to express his concerns aloud in front of me and possibly scare me more. If he felt like his job was to keep me calm, he did a great job. His presence was very comforting! ❤
I’m anxious. Been in tears a lot recently. Time is going by so quickly and I am unfortunately a severe hyper-planner so if I don’t have something figured out for her logistical or material items I start to get nervous.
It’s funny because I completely skip over the delivery in my head. I’m not even anxious about it hardly ever. It’s the after part that’s really getting me.
I’m so excited to meet her and have her in our lives but I’m like, will I even know what I’m doing??
@madiirosee so, I best deal with my anxiety by gathering the info. Do you want some hard truths? Or just some general support and validation?
Hard (but nice) truths below.
You're not going to know what you're doing.😅
But that's okay.
We're all learning as we go. The important thing is that you just try. And keep trying. I know its hard to jump into something so new and strange and something you've never done before, but you've done a lot of cool things in your life that at one point you've never done before! Also all the things your planning for might totally fall to sh*t. Or they might not! You just don't know until she gets here what she'll need!
You care so much and love so much. You're going to be a great mom. I know it.
@vampirina I love that response. Thank you. I know you’re right, my brain battles itself of course. I just need to remind myself daily I think that I can only prepare so much!
Last night I had a vivid dream that took me back to something in my childhood that was not greatest. I woke it took me a second to realize it was a dream. I sat up and started crying.
@cait32 holy shit, influenza in July!?! Ugh, I am most of you are able to avoid it! I gave DD my cold and it ROCKED her way harder than me (fever and everything) so I can totally empathize with a sick, cranky 2 year old!

Not crying yet, but getting there. Parked at the emergency vet looking at 6-hour wait for my dog to be seen for a second bout of diarrhea and vomiting in the last 3 weeks. She's not an "emergency" case, but nobody has any appointments right now. 🥺 Of course I understand real emergencies go first, but definitely feeling stuck.
I guess it's good practice for emergency room visits with a kid.
