Why are you crying? 2/20

[Deleted]

Wipe your eyes and share your woes.


Today I am crying because a crib toy/soother I ordered just came in the mail. Among other songs, it plays rock-a-bye baby.  When I was a little kid that song always made me all out ugly, sobbing out loud cry every single time I heard it.  Apparently it still does.

My crazy SIL said my niece and nephew couldn't sleep over because "it was too much for her" - wtf lady, I'm trying to take your kids overnight and give you a break since you're literally going to give birth any time!!! Most of the time, it would make me mad...today it made me cry. Then DH told her I was crying and it turns out she does have a heart, because she took pregnant-lady sympathy on me and is sending the kids up to my house with DH now. They'll be here in an hour, so I'm trying to pull it together!

I cried last night because we set up the crib and changing table in the nursery. The awesome green chaise lounge I have had in there won't work with the layout I envisioned. I laid on the chaise for an hour sulking in my misery. Then DH came in and told me we could buy a glider and sell the chaise. Now we get to go shopping this weekend!

I held it together when I cracked an egg on the pan and it all ended up outside the pan and on the bench.

This is more of a T&Ps needed post but yesterday DH found out that his dad's vitals were really low. He's had Parkinson's for 10 years but it's really gotten worse over the last year. We didn't ever think we would get to tell him he we were having a baby when we were going through IF, and then when we got to do that, plus tell him we were having a boy, it was just beyond.

DH was already going to see them this weekend (5 hours away) so the timing worked, and last night he put his head on my belly and said "I'm going to see your grandpa this weekend so take care of your mama, baby. Your grandpa loves you and you make him so happy." SOBS. Crying now just typing it...

Cried a million times because I talked to my brother today and heard from him what happened yesterday with his dog and my sister's cat. I feel so terrible for what he came home to. The images he must have in his mind break my heart.

Also I'm obsessed with death now that I'm pregnant and often find myself so sad at how fast life is going by. I'm already sad this baby is going to move out and get married and I haven't even met him yet.

Because I'm hungry & DH is taking forever to here with the Pizza!

And I'm sore & uncomfortable.

[pghtruelove]

Because when I walked outside today (it was 59 in Tampa this morning) I was really cold and realized it was 1 where I am moving next week.

I cried yesterday when I was talking to a forner student. She is older and taking care of her mom with Alzheimer's. It just really got me. I felt terrible that I cried and she was the one having a hard time. I hope I die before I am a burden to my children. But only like right before.

[billyhorrible]

I'm teaching myself new lullabyes on my drive home to kill time. Wednesday night I taught myself "You'll Be in My Heart" and spent the entire ride sobbing as I sung it.

The Special Olympics torch procession came to our school today and my students were so excited! It made me super emotional.

[sgarmand]

The St. Jude's Radiothon on this morning in place of my usual morning show that I listen to on the way to work. Of course I couldn't just change it.

[mrskblack11]

@badwolf321, T&Ps for her!

[theBeeMama]

I'm crying because we are in the midst of an ice storm (second one in a week) and I am a Southerner and this is NOT supposed to happen to me and I just need to feel sunshine and fresh warm air.

Also I almost wiped out on a patch of ice today and my neck/back is now worse off than pregnancy had made it before. Waaaaah.

[mathistm]

I seriously don't understand how more pregnant women don't kill people. My emotions have been all over the place. I cried earlier because my DH wanted to make and only got groceries for his kind of chili, that has like no sauce and I love all of the sauce. Ridonk. I also cried this morning leaving my dog for work. Ugh.

[ravinraven216]

I cried today and yesterday out of frustration with my taxes. I set up a Roth IRA last year that I apparently don't qualify to contribute to anymore, since DH and I are filing separately (I have income-based repayment for student loans I didn't want his salary interfering with). It's made filing my taxes a mess and will probably delay my refund. I had no idea that how I filed my taxes affected my eligibility and I feel like got bad investment advice from my FIL (which DH and I have argued about). I also needed to notify my financial planner that I need to close the account, which makes me feel like I've just wasted his time.

Being an adult is dumb.

That freaking "for all the nevers" State Farm commercial keeps making me cry lately. Like, sobbing. I feel like a crazy person.

[kemdupuis]

Because I feel like my belly has stretched to the point that it might explode and this is only week 23. Also because my low back pain is out of control. And finally because I had a challenging day with one of my classes yesterday.

[bendherova]

I'm crying bc I feel like total shit (thanks DS for the cold)


Also, damn you ladies for recommending Call the Midwife. It's an amazing show, but I've cried throughout most of it!

[megeliz1]

I ugly cried today because DD was getting so frustrated and crying and I couldn't figure out what she needed. I felt like a horrible mom and cried back out of frustration.

[lunalovegood]

Tonight I am crying because of my youngest DS's bedtime routine with me. He gives me a hug then kisses my forehead, both cheecks, nose and chin. They he rubs all the kisses in and gives me another hug. He is so sweet and I can't help but think that sometime he will get too old for this and it makes me so sad.

Sometimes I cry happy tears when I'm driving to work because I start thinking about my life and I'm just so happy about where I am right now. Then I start thinking about my grandma (she passed away a few months before I got engaged) and I completely lose it. I know she's been with me through everything in spirit, but I just get really emotional every time I think about her. I wish more than anything that she could be here right now.

[MisDawnD]

I was at practice and our alto was going to be absent for a song so I had to switch and sing her part. I couldn't get the alto note right for singing it soprano because that's how I had been practicing . I cried because I felt like I was completely incompetent to even be a part of it in front of all the musicians .

[brennaz]

Aside from my morning breakdown over shoes (see the FFFC)...I cried because DH accidentally called me fat lol. Not really, but that's how I took it. He calls me "brat" and this morning said he was going to make his little brat breakfast. I got excited and said, "you're making me breakfast?" And he replied, "you're not little." My immediate emotional interpretation was "your husband just called you a whale" and I started ugly crying.
Then I started crying this afternoon because I feel so much more pregnant than I am. I feel like I'm 33 weeks, not 23.

I totally teared up just reading this. I will be sending my T&P's to you and your family!

I didn't cry but felt all the awwws, but tonight my 19 month old son was hugging me goodnight, and I asked if he wanted to say good night to the baby, he smiled, looked down, pulled my shirt up, kissed my belly, said 'ni ni!' and waved at it.

He has in the past tried to share his snacks with my belly when he's kissing it.

[ombradellarosa]

I came over here from the fears thread because in musing over my fears I got teary. In only about 15 weeks my baby is going to be born and then she won't be with me all the time anymore! I've been consumed with the overwhelming reality of being a parent and being responsible for a tiny person but it only just occurred to me that I'm going to have to share her after she's born. Right now she feels like she's all mine. I'm so jealous over her already.

[wegrowsheep]

I cried because we ran out of Kleenex. Poor husband.

[turtletyme]

Just woke up (bc of my husband's snoring) to find he drank all the milk before he came to bed. So now I cry.

Thank you, maddib!
