the crying game

I thought I remembered everything about pregnancy.  I mean, after all, I was pregnant just over two years ago.  I remembered being sick, I remembered getting huge, I remember every single detail of my labor and delivery.  But somehow I'd forgotten, or blocked out, the hormonal / emotional roller coaster that is being a pregnant woman.



I will cry at ANYTHING.  Those Fidelity commercials.  All episodes of "A Baby Story".  That article in Time magazine about Hillary Clinton.  Just last night John got me a green twin Popsicle out of the freezer and broke it in half for me on the corner of the counter.  My eyes welled up with tears because I couldn't believe he'd be so sweet as to do that for me.



At the same time, however, I've got a short fuse on my anger.  Unfortunately, John gets the brunt of it.  Of course.  I remember last week actually yelling at John because he wasn't sick.  I mean really, it's HIS baby too.  The least he could do is be a little bit miserable.  Here I am, throwing up every day, so nauseated I can barely move and he's feeling well enough to play racquetball!  That bastard!



The good news is I'm lucky enough to have a husbad who loves me anyway.  Despite my manic moods.  Which, of course makes me cry.
