10 Reasons I’ve cried while pregnant (so far)

My husband complimented me during my first pregnancy for being pretty stable emotionally – no random, hormonal breakdowns for me! This second pregnancy has been so different. Probably a little bit because of the challenges 2020 has brought and also the extra emotions of being pregnant after a loss. I put together a little list of some of the reasons I’ve cried while pregnant this time around!

1. When we were driving home from the grocery store and I thought about having to smell the inside of the cupboards to put the food away. It doesn’t even matter if they are freshly cleaned- the smell of whatever kind of wood our cupboards are made of makes me sick!
2. When I realized my mom and sisters most likely won’t be there in the delivery room when the baby is born. My mom and one sister (the other one didn’t make it in time because of a fast, during the night labor!) were there when Fitz was born, and they are such a good support for me. Also Fitz probably won’t be able to visit us at the hospital and he will have to wait and meet sister when we get home.
3. I was trying to get ready for church one morning, and I couldn’t find a bra that fit.
4. Just being so nauseus. all.the.time.
5. When I crave Chik-fil-a BAD and it’s a Sunday. This has happened multiple Sundays and it’s the worst.
6. The night I really NEEDED toast but we were out of bread.
7. Laying awake in bed for hours and hours and hours and not being able to sleep but being sooo tired.
8. When I realized I would have TWO kids at Christmastime this year. Twice as fun!
9. When Fitz randomly leaned over, kissed my belly, and said “I like kissing my baby sister!”
10. When the ultrasound technician told us we were having a baby girl! My heart absolutely exploded and I couldn’t hold back the tears.

Do you get pretty emotional during pregnancy, or not? I’d love to know something that made you cry when expecting. 🙂
