on a side note:
i have been extremly emotional. during the first few months i was pregnant i found out i was really emotional then too. you know that SPCA commercial that shows all the abused, battered and starving animals asking you to donate money? i had to either change the channel or hide my face under the covers, i could never bare to watch it. i would cry!
it has gotten much worse, but most times if i immediately think of something else it goes away. but today i read an online story about a mom who has had multiple miscarrages and even the birth and death of a baby in the same day. there were pictures too... i didnt just cry as i read her story, i bawled my eyes out. i had to stop mid story to grab tissues. I'M A MESS! how some women deal with such traumatic events and still come out strong in the end is beyond me. that is a kind of strength i dont think i would have. they are amazing women!
I totally feel you on the animal shelter commercial...awful! also I'd bawl my eyes out too after reading about women losing children. I cried BEFORE ever being pregnant and now since I've had a child I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose one. Don't think there's anything wrong with you, because I was emotional while pregnant too (and during the first week after having Trent)..your emotions are all out of whack. Can't believe you have only 59 days to go! She'll be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteI was super emotional too...just part of all the hormones. I remember crying at like American Idol & other random reality shows. Everything made me bawl lol. Are you guys still naming her Harlow? I looove that name!
ReplyDeletewe have decided to name her Harlow, its the name that is on the top of both of our lists, and i'm a 'Sharmela' so i cant have an Emily or an Amanda, you know what i mean? but hey, when shes born i may change my mind, what if she just doesnt feel like a Harlow? but for now, thats what we are calling her.
ReplyDeleteas for being emotional, i've always been pretty emotional but i've just been better at controlling it. now its UNSTOPPABLE! glad to hear you i'm not alone.
