I seem to have hit sort of an emotional wall these past couple of weeks. I have found myself extremely weepy over the littlest thing, which I know is a very common pregnancy side effect. I also just feel kind of sad in general, which is not my usual state of mind. I find myself upset over small things.
There is no one reason I can pinpoint for my sadness. I just seem to be extra sad and prone to tears. For example, this weekend we finally. . . drum roll, please. . . emptied out Emma's nursery. What a relief to get this major obstacle done! This was the only part of the project that I couldn't do myself and it was a huge stepping stone. Why, then, would I be sad about it?
Well, as M took the queen sized bed down, I remembered when we bought that bed. It was our first major purchase as a couple. We have had that mattress longer than our dogs. I spent a lot of time in that bed nursing Will, as there was a t.v. in that room, so I could comfortably lie there and nurse him, watch crappy 2 AM television, and let M rest in peace. So, I was in tears by the time he had hauled the mattress downstairs. My husband and my MIL were a little nonplussed by it, Will thinks it's funny when I cry and he laughs at me. This actually helps me to laugh at myself, too, since I know I am being silly.
I also know this weepy, overemotional, oversensitive stuff is just part and parcel of the whole pregnancy bag. I remember having these phases when I was pregnant with Will. I just can't wait until it passes!

I have moved so many times that I tend to not be emotional about furniture and rooms and homes . . . but I still can empathtize. I remember being 7 months pregnant and going through some stuff in the office-turning-into-nursery, and coming across stuff from our time in China with Lil Pumpkin. Like the outfit she was wearing when she was united with us. CUE THE HEAVING SOBS!!!
I understand. I got emotional when we got a new mattress because (drumroll please) I had bled all over the old one while miscarrying. Sigh.
interesting what Jen said about her mattress & m/c ... I have mixed feelings about ours for similar reasons .. On one hand it's like a deathbed/coffin I associate with m/c #3. On the other hand it's the last place that baby was inside my body before dying.
I too have been incredibly emotional over all sorts of things lately.
Is it wrong that I was secretly happy to hear that someone else's toddler thinks it's funny when they cry? Because I was a little worried about the fact that my dog is more empathetic than my child.
I am incredibly superstitious and so I wont move anything around the house because Im worried that it can give me back luck. And now I am moving completley and panicing. Its strange how the hormones can make us focus on one thing. i hope this adjustment comes with great positive things for you all!
Hormones suck.
