the products of pregnancy

Crying: I cry about everything. Today it was after looking at a concoction of medicine that I take every single day three times a day. I started crying because I didn't want to drink it. I drank it, but I might have cried the entire time I drank it.

Insane, irrational comments such as, "Let's just hire a hit man." Who says that?! Maybe a prego who watches far too many crime shows because she secretly wants to be a detective.

Ridiculous temper. I already have a short fuse, with these extra hormones flying around, I'm completely out of control. It flares up in .0003 seconds, and goes away just as fast once I've realized what I'm doing. Not good. My poor boys have had a few yelling episodes that they should not have had to hear/see. Always followed by apologies...but that does not make up for my craziness.

Exhaustion. I clean up after dinner and just sit on the couch until bed. I don't move (unless food is calling my name).

The frustration of turning my back for half a second to promptly forget what I was doing, or why I was standing there.

The frustration of losing all the baby weight from my prior pregnancy and finally feeling good in all my clothes, to having a bulging belly that doesn't quite look like pregnancy.....more like a little too much snacking!

Disaster of a house. Yup, it's happened again. All I do is sleep, so my house is neglected. Dirty floors, dusty shelves, and piles of laundry (clean and dirty piles).
