The hormones of pregnancy have hit. I remember them hitting me around 10 weeks with Amelia…hey, I made it two extra weeks with this one before they hit…but they’ve hit harder this time.
With Amelia my first sappy moment came when I heard a Kroger ad on the radio. They were thanking all of the families of those serving for their sacrifices and wishing them a Happy Memorial Day. I lost it in the car.
We were watching Up this afternoon and while I’ve seen most of the movie before, I never saw the first 15 minutes. It’s so sweet and so sad, it makes me think of my love for Dustin and well you know the tears started flowing shortly thereafter.
I heard not great news from 3 friends in the last 24 hours and each time I’ve gotten emotional. I heard GREAT news from two friends this week and of course I got emotional (congrats again you guys!). I read a sad story and I tear up, I see an ad on tv that’s sweet and I tear up, my sweet Amelia tells me that she loves me and I tear up.
I think being a mom has made me more sappy and being a pregnant mom has made me a complete mushy mess! I’m waiting for something completely silly to hit me and for me to lose it, say when I’m buying bananas and they don’t have any ripe enough. Or maybe when I want to wear a certain pair of comfy stretchy pants but they’re in the washing machine soaking wet. Speaking of, I am thankfully not wearing stretchy maternity clothes yet. My belly is most definitely popping and by the end of the day I look like I did when I was about 18 weeks with Amelia, but on a good day I just look like I had too many cookies at Christmas. Thanks to my morning (rather all day) sickness I haven’t gained any weight so far, yay! Nope, no belly pictures yet, I’ll save those for when I clearly look pregnant.
A very Happy New Year to all! I hope 2010 is a year full of health, wealth, love, kisses and hugs and most of all happiness for you and yours.
