I'm so emotional, baby....

Thread Starter 
My mama keeps calling me when something emotional happens during the Olympics and saying, "You shouldn't be watching this!"

I'm an emotional wreck when I'm NOT pregnant, so now it's just amplified. When one of the Chinese gymnasts fell off the bars last night I got all teary. Then when the US men's swimming relay won I was freaking out, jumping around and whooping.

We still have an open bag of newborn sized Pamper Swaddlers and I got one of those yesterday and got so emotional thinking that Bridget was small enough to wear those and now her brother or sister will get to wear them.
I'm such a dork.

i'm all over the place with my emotions. dh asked me this morning how i was doing and i looked at him with fire in my eyes and asked, "how do you think? i'm tired, queasy and don't feel good in general." he actually asked why? i told him, "oh, i don't know...maybe because i'm pregnant!" and then promptly broke out in tears...i think i'm losing it... poor guy..

I am not a cry-er in general, my husband has probably seen me cry a total of 4 times since we've been married... THAT HAS ALL CHANGED! I cried 2 weeks ago b/c I couldn't carry all the groceries in at once?!?! And Friday I cried b/c all I could stomach eating were stupid eggs on tortillas for the 3rd day in a row. It's the strangest thing b/c I get really upset and then when I stop to think about why I'm crying it makes me laugh...and then cry and then laugh and then cry some more. I've started taking pictures of myself at
rock-bottom to show my husband when he gets home and asks how I'm feeling

Add me to the list. I watched the absolute worst movie a pregnant woman could watch.

P.S. I Love You

*warning* do NOT watch unless you are ready for explosive crying fits.

My emotions are weird though, I go from being completely somber and blank feeling, to firey mad and crying all in a matter of seconds.

i've been feeling quite a bit of hopelessness re: the nausea i have, but other than that not so much weepiness. this pregnancy started out with some euphoria but that has completely dissipated thanks to good ol' pukey feelings. LOL

i hope to get back to the giddy happy stage soon. please!!

I'm right there with you...it's mixed emotions to the 100th power! You excited beyond belief to be pregnant but you feel SOOOO shitty that it's hard to enjoy it...telling yourself it's all going to be worth it over and over only gets you so far when NO FOOD on the face of the planet seems appetizing.

yes. exactly. and then that hollow ravenous feeling overtakes you and you wonder if there's much protein in your office desk and if you should just take a bite of that.

or...maybe that's just me. :

My daughter's new favorite movie is Babe, which I have always loved but hadn't watched in about 5 years. I was watching it with her yesterday and weeping at the end when he looks at him and says, "That'll do, pig." I was like, Yay, they're not going to eat him now!

Also, I was stacking the dishes next to the sink in preparation of washing them and a couple of pieces of silverware fell back into the sink. I got really angry about that and threw them back in place and cursed at them. Wow. Really weird. My temper is not usually remotely that short, and I hardly ever curse. : Ah, hormones...

it was too early for a positive test but I knew something was up when I got all choked up from a VISA advertisement during the Olympics.
The one with the gymnast who broke her leg and competed anyway.
