hormones?

[laniiolana]

I'm 10weeks exactly today.

So lately all I've wanted to do is cry.
I cry when I get on LJ and read birth stories. I cry when I see pictures of newborns. I cry when I look at my first ultrasound pic of this baby, and when I read through my son's baby book.
I cried when my family got into a big fight and we almost moved out of my paresnt house WAY

I've definitely had my fair share of tears during this pregnancy.

Few examples: One night I cried right before bed because I REALLY wanted apple pie, but there was nowhere we could get it at that hour. My husband thought it was hilarious. Another time I was watching stand up (Louie CK) and laughing really hard, but then suddenly it turned into sobbing hysterically. And then there was the time more recently when I couldn't stand how messy the apartment was so I was vacuuming and crying to my husband about how he doesn't help me. I felt like such a pregnancy stereotype.

with my first pregnancy I went to my brothers confirmation and first holy communion at church. Afterwards they had a banquet set up and we brought chicken from my fave restaurant. Afterwards I headed in to get a plate and all the chicken was gone and I started bawling in the serving line.
I was so embarrassed, but I was looking forward to that chicken so much that my folks took me back to that restaurant just so I could have that chicken. LOL!!

Hormones, as they say, are a bitch! It's hard to believe until you've experienced it, and even then, it's so different for every mother! :) What you're experiencing is normal, hun. I've been up and down and bawling at the drop of a hat for a while now.

And because you touched on this... PLEASE don't feel guilty or stressed by the fact you aren't keeping food down. Many of us have been continually reassured that even if you seemingly almost keep nothing down, your baby will TAKE from you what it needs to develop. Some people don't think it's a "nice" image, but a baby is essentially 'parasitic'. It will draw from you what it needs, no matter what. As the mother, you may suffer because of this, but that's why you just take it easy and eat, and recuperate when you can :) Stressing produces cortisol and that's not good for baby in large quanties, so just take a deep breath and take everything this pregnancy throws at your, in your stride ♥

I knew it because I cried for Will and Kate's wedding. I know that was not a rare thing, but I am SO not the type to do such a thing it is not even funny.

I can't watch the news. There's always some horrible story that sets me off.
