I cried uncontrollably because…

in January 2025 Babies
I had an unexpected meeting at work and I was hungry.  They were talking standard procedural stuff to me - nothing against me at all - and I burst out crying and couldn’t stop and they felt so bad.  I gave in and just told them I’m expecting so it’s probably the hormones, not them making me cry.  I’m 11 weeks so I was going to announce next week anyway.  Anyways, I’m absolutely embarrassed.  

What made you cry this week?

    These dumb hormones!! Hugs, I’m sure everyone at work was relieved to know it wasn’t their fault you were crying. I haven’t bawled this week but anything to do with a baby/kid(of any species) not having a mom sets me off. Like this stuff is always sad but now its EXTRA devastating!

    This was the first week I experienced anything like this. I’ve felt like my emotions were very under control and very even. But this week, lots and lots of crying. Anything from a TV commercial to a sad news report to thoughts in my head! It’s wild.

    My husband I have talked a lot about “what if had a boy” but not as much about a girl. This weekend, I asked him what he’d like about having a girl (we are still team green), and then I started generating ideas, and then came the water works. Not like a cute single tear, I’m talking bawling. I guess I would be happy having a girl? lol. Now I’m welling up writing this 🙄😂

    Work was so relieved because they totally understood, it was the hormones!!  At least I can laugh about it now.  

    And yes not the cute little tears, it’s the ugly crying!  🤣  oh my gosh pregnancy is great.

    I cried this week because I watched the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders show on Netflix.  And they cut some of those girls the last night after they worked so hard 😭😭 I told my husband it was sappy commercial that got me because that seemed less embarrassing than the truth.

    …because I read a book where a character had to fight a bear to survive in the woods, and the bear got hurt. I cried for the bear 😂

    I was hanging out with a friend and her 4 year old was borrowing my sweater, and somehow put her head in the arm whole and you could see the outline of her face and it was hilarious and we were laughing and then out of nowhere I was crying and couldn't stop....

    I baby brained hard yesterday.  I burned myself on a hot pan and although it hurt I wasn't crying from the pain I just couldn't stop crying at how stupid I was.

    Oof I feel like I already have a lot of these stories. These hormones are crazy. The funniest to me is when I cried over spilt coffee… when there was a whole other pot to replace it. My husband did not know what to do! He went and got a rag to clean it up, but the ugly crying had already began and he just slowly backed away 🤣 poor guy deserves a medal

    I wanted a specific seasonal ice cream flavor from the store and the only cartons they had in the case were severely freezer burned.

    I seem to be more struck my sentimental things. Yesterday it was seeing my husband purchased “The Expectant Father” and seeing it in his little reading nook 🥹

    @fk18 my husband has been reading The Expectant Father and he likes it! I've read a few chapters and it's legitimately good. There's some stuff in there that I wish they would put in the book for women (for example, planning ahead for finances)

    @strongishmom, I’ll definitely check it out. That’s weird (and arguably problematic) this topic is not included in pregnant women’s books (it hasn’t been in any of mine yet either)…

    @fk18 Totally agree. The books I have are way more about the process and science of pregnancy and birth (like the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy) which the Expectant Father doesn’t get into in as much detail, but also… why can’t we have both?

    Okay I have another one to share:

     Last week I decided to treat myself to my favorite lunch at my all time favorite restaurant. It’s a family owned, deli style, Latin American place and they do these amazing salads. Their hours are crazy and they are in super high demand. I go up to the counter not even an hour after they’ve opened and they were already sold out of my two favorite salads. You guys, the tears started welling up. The poor guy at the register (who is the owner, mind you) scrambles to get me a sample of another salad to try and I couldn’t even open my mouth to try it without a sob coming out!!! The tears started flowing and I couldn’t get myself to explain you know that I’m pregnant and it’s okay, it’s not him and this is just the hormones. 🤦🏼‍♀️ luckily he got a phone call at that moment and I high tailed it out of there. And proceeded to ugly cry in my car. Over salad. 

    My emotions have been hijacked by a tiny alien who is taking me for a ride 🤣

    I had a MASSIVE cry at the grocery store deli counter because the guy working there closed 3 minutes early and I couldn't get thick cut bologna for a fried bologna sandwich I was craving. I have never had a fried bologna sandwich but that's what I wanted and I was devastated when I couldn't get the bologna I wanted (that I had never even tried before). But @ndthornburg I totally resonate with the massive sobs that you can't even explain. It's funny now - but in the moment it felt like the worst thing that had ever happened.

    @bcml - I don’t even eat bologna and that sandwich sounds amazing. My heart breaks for you. 

    Yesterday I had a good cry at the veterinary office because they had to do a temp check on my dog (in the butt), he hated it and then needed a muzzle to get through it. 

    If you were wondering, my dog recovered much quicker from the experience than me 😭😂

    So a couple nights ago my mood swings were pretty bad. The hubby and I got into a small argument and I cried. Because I cried my nose got stuffed up (trust me this is important). When it was time to take my vitamins, baby ibuprofen, and antibiotics I was super giggly. My husband was fueling the giggles so I sent him into a corner so I could take my medicine without giggling. I was still struggling so I shut my eyes, at the same time I was getting some water my husband decided it was a good time to slurp the milk out of his cereal. Well that was enough for me, but because I couldn't breathe through my nose, the water went EVERYWHERE. Then I started uncontrollably crying because it was bedtime and my favorite blanket was soaked. Honestly, I feel so bad for that man and everything he has to endure with these mood swings😅

    @jojosesame when Brody Malone, the male gymnast's, dad was reading his letter, I knew where it was going before he said it.  But when he started crying I just started sobbing.  Thankfully I looked over at my husband and he was starting to tear up too so I didn't feel so bad lol.

    Last night while making dinner, I was talking to our puppy about how 2 babies are going to be part of our family and how he is going to have 2 new friends and some of the exciting things he would get to do with his new friends (making them laugh, them throwing the ball for him when they get older, him giving them kisses, going on family walks, etc.) and totally cried lol. I've always been sentimental, but these babies are brining it to a whole new level. 🙃
