Wah!
October 1, 2008 | Whinging
I seem to be experiencing a bit of pre-partum depression. (I don’t think that actually exists. I just made that up.) I feel like tears are on the verge of brimming at all times.
Things I have cried about in the last week:
- The chiropractor not accepting my health insurance. (Yes, this was a bummer, but I found a different one who did. I cried because I felt REJECTED.)
- The involuntary yelp of pain I made when attempting to step over the edge of the tub the other day, which led to tears of woe at how I will never be able to handle labor.
- Running out of orange juice.
- Running out of sparkly water.
- Dog hair tumbleweeds.
- The fact that right now, I can’t remember all of the myriad un-tear-worthy things I have cried over lately.
Anyway, just wanted to let y’all know that I am in fact alive, just super weepy. This weekend holds blog worthy events, so hopefully, less whinge-y posts are on the horizon.

It makes perfect sense that you’d be teary with all the hormones running through your body. I’m like that without pregnancy so remind me not to get pregnant.
Dog hair tumbleweeds really bum me out. Though in my case they are cat tumbleweeds. And they are endless!
Hope things shift for you or at least you get some orange juice.

Welcome to the Third Trimester! I cried over everything. I cried at most television shows and movies I watched, I cried if my bus was late, I cried if it was too hot or too cold outside. I cried nearly every day because I didn’t like my clothes. I cried when traffic was bad. I cried becaues I couldn’t get any food other than pizza delivered to my house. And for an entire month I cried because I thought I would be pregnant forever.
Don’t worry, sweetie. It is totally normal. It may make you feel a little insane, but I promise it is normal.

GIRL–who cares if you cry at little things. YOU WALKED 20 MILES AND WILL BE TAKING ON A MARATHON!! If anyone calls you on the tears you tell ‘em when they’re pregnant and can kick ass like you do…then they can mock your tears! Tub schmub, labor schmabor!!

It’s been two years since I had Audrey and Danny still hasn’t recovered from all my pregnancy crying bouts. Any time I sniffle (mostly due to constant allergy fun) or rub my eyes, he rushes to my side and in a hushed tone says, “Are you alright??” Poor guy–traumatized for life!
HAVE FUN THIS WEEKEND!!! I’ll be thinking of you! So glad you done with work now… xoxo

CRY away! Please… I take any excuse on earth to have a good cry. You have the ULTIMATE excuse.
And I hope you have an amazing weekend, I will be thinking about you, and will try to call you…love…hliv.
p.s.I am so glad to hear you are not working your whole last trimester. What a blessing. I remember how amazing it was not to work the last month of my pregnancy with Saskia. AMAZING. Enjoy the time, and get plenty of rest. You are going to need it. I can’t get through 15 minutes without yawning these days.

I was never a crier until pregnancy and kids. NEVER. I remember wondering what the hell was up with the girls at camp who would cry goodbye and such. I even faked it once or twice. And then I was pregnant and had kids and suddenly my uber-amounts of self-control melted away and I was a big crying mess. Staring to recover … but it’s just the beginning of the realization that your life is no longer your own. Freaky at times, fabulous at times … but definitely, no longer your own …
Cry away. *hugs!*

Honey there aren’t enough ways to explain the gamut of emotions I’ve gone through this pregnancy. What you’re doing is SO NORMAL, although that doesn’t help now. This thing we’re going through is CRAZYMAKING.
