Anyone else an emotional mess??

[ChristyH]

I cried this morning when the termite guys showed up at 8:45am. I was so tired and the kids were being so good and I didn't sleep last night and they were letting me sleep in a little when the door bell rang. I knew they were coming today but I didn't realize it would be so early.

I started crying!!! All I wanted to do was go back to sleep and not have to get up and answer the door. I ended up calling my husband at work because he knows the people and he called and told them what to do and to call him on his cell and not to disturb me
But seriously, crying over the termite guy. That was a new one for me.

Anyone else crying over the silliest things?!

[mama_ani]

Yes!!!

I do NOT cry. I'm not a crier. I'm really not.
I have been bawling over EVERYTHING the last few days.

On top of it I feel so angry at the world it's driving everyone crazy. I'm not normally this bad! I just need this baby here!

[tinyshoes]

not crying, but, I'm pissed off for no good reason.

Maybe that qualifies as an 'emotional mess'? Just being a grump? Blech. I'm just chalking this up to being very pregnant.

And I'm lacking energy...like I just want to hibernate.

[Ironica]

I wouldn't say "over nothing" but I had a big crying meltdown the other night after DS went to bed. I was getting all scared about having to call people and ask for help when I'm in labor. You know... like, the doula, my mom, my husband, my OB! The people whose JOB it is in one way or another! Yes, it's a big weakness of mine. So, I realized that I was scared to go into labor because I'd have to call people and ask for help. (I'm not entirely over it, but some serious shoulder time with DH helped some.)

I feel this way too. But - I'm also crying a lot. Monday morning we woke up to no water, we thought our well was broken AGAIN. Well, DH went out, pressed some button and the water came back on. I bawled for about 15 minutes. He was like, "um...its fixed, and your crying?"

Yes, I'm a wreck. A few days ago I was crying over everything, and now I get made over everything. Last night I got mad at DH because he was using tape to fix one of DS's toys and I thought he should use glue. : Seriously, who gets mad over that??? I swear I'm not normally so unreasonable. Anyway, last night I stomped up to bed, and then I woke up this morning to find that after I went to bed DH went grocery shopping, took the trash out, and cleaned the floors.

I feel so grateful for him putting up with me right now (and told him so this morning, after I got up early and made him breakfast in an attempt to make up for my horrid behavior last night).

Yep, same here. Grumpy, crying, you name it! I cried last night because my lots-of-room maternity clothes suddenly don't fit. Ripped the belly on my pants, shirts kept rolling up...you get the picture. They fit on Sunday! : What the heck am I supposed to wear!? I can't reach my kids feet to put their shoes on, I'm too tired to make myself things to eat but starving all the time. I'm just done, I'm exhausted and if you look at me wrong I'll probably burst into tears. Heck, I just got tears my eyes typing up this silly, complaining post! : And I've probably got another two weeks to go at least!

I'm not crying or cranky, but I am getting irritated very quickly. Last night I wanted to kill DH because he was drinking water so loudly and then he farted in his sleep. I really wanted to put my pillow over his head and hold it there. I realized this morning that was slightly irrational Maybe I am getting a little more upset over this never ending pregnancy than I originally thought.

Yes! I cried last weekend because a car was parked very badly behind my driveway and I hit it while trying to back out (no damage though).

Then I lost it as I continued to drive down the street because an oncoming car approached on our narrow street, forcing me to pull over so the car could pass. This happens all the time, but I just got so frustrated because I was so tired.
It was so sad, DD was trying to comfort me

[pixiepunk]

oh, man this is sooooo me right now. i cried the other morning because DD came up and snuggled me and said "mama, i love you with all my heart." i cried later that morning because my m/w had to cancel our prenatal because she was at a birth. i cried about 15 minutes later when i tried to call DH and whine about my missed prenatal and he was in a meeting and needed to call me back. so i tried to call my mom, got her machine, hung up and bawled for 30 minutes

i was actually so embarrased, later that day when i taught a class, one of my students (a nurse) asked me if i'd had my blood pressure checked recently because my eyes were puffy and she was worried i had facial edema i told her it was seasonal allergies i just couldn't face telling her i'd been crying all day for no real reason whatsoever!

on the way to the chiro this morning i heard Aretha Franklin's 'natural woman' and it brought tears to my eyes i am seriously a basket case. my poor family. i hope for their sake i'm not like this for two more weeks!

[chely7425]

I am a mess lately too... everything makes me cry!! and everything makes me mad... it sucks!! I sincerely hope Sir T decides to make an appearance soon because this is getting ridiculous!!!

Oh yes, a messy dresser drawer was all it took to set me off Monday night. That of course turned into a messy everything in the house and if I can't keep a house clean how am I going to manage a baby, a house, a life etc. etc. etc. Then came the call from the docs. office the next morning that I am GBS positive. Crying at work is SO not cool Today seems to be a little better. I think it's my lack of sleep. I have not slept good in at least a week.

[~NewMa~]

Yup, I'm just one irritable B*tch lately!
I'm not a cryer really but I did well up this morning when the midwife called and said she wanted to see me today to start my twice weekly visits for being "overdue".
I thought I'd be able to get away with just 1 check up this week, but no.
I had to go in for an NST and they scheduled me for an AFI reading by ultrasound at the hospital on Monday
Guess they figure if baby doesn't wanna come out they'll stress me to death until he does! :

Oh, and I'm doin wacky stuff.
I'm putting shoes on before my pants are on, I put the juice in the cabinet instead of the refrigerator the other day, just stupid, absentminded stuff. Just totally distracted I guess....

[tinyshoes]

omg funny how reading everyone's experience has made me chuckle out loud!

so glad to share your company, mamas...

(and it makes me wonder--do we mamas experience the world like this now b/c that's how our little newborns are going to experience things? like how newborns cry or get pissed off because they're cold or just not in the womb or things aren't quite right? poor babies.)
