:: BLAH ::
Pregnancy hormones.
BLAH.
I do NOT remember feeling like crying for not 
much reason too many times when I was pregnant with Cohen.
Maybe it's because Cohen is here now, helping these feelings come.
Maybe it's because we are making HUGE decisions for our upcoming future.
Maybe it's because the near future is unknown in so many ways.
Or maybe it's JUST BECAUSE.

I had a mini "pregnancy hormone breakdown" this morning.

It was short-lived. Thankfully. They usually are.
All I needed was to hear my sweetheart's voice on the other end of the phone, and tell me to take a break from working on plans for our future, stay in my jammies, and eat a bowl of my favorite cereal {apple jacks}, a snack I usually crave at 10:30 pm.
So, that's exactly what I did, after I put Cohen down for a nap.
He kindly slept for a solid two hours.
After I snapped out of not being in control of my SILLY tears, 
I decided today I was done feeling overwhelmed for no reason at all.
Then I put some curls in my hair, that's in need of a color and trim BADLY, 
and I painted my nails RED. After they dried, I opedned 
a bag of chocolate chips and helped myself to them, happily.

Blah. Hormones. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

I was the same being pregnant with Marion. I wonder if it has to do with not working and thinking about something else during the day?? I found myself crying at Father of the Bride one day. :) haha. Hope today is a better day for you!

You've pretty much summed up both pregnancies for me. Fortunately with this one I've learned how to control it better, but I had breakdowns all the time with Brinley! Very normal! Just get through it! I'm glad you have such an understanding hubby!

Oh ya, I forgot to say, it definitely does get overwhelming thinking about the future sometimes, but just remember that the Lord has gotten you this far and He's still watching over you and you'll get to where you need to be regardless of how much or little you worry about it! That always helps me. Hope it helps you too!

Hey girl- I don't know what it's like to have a 2 ish year old and to be pregnant and prepare for med school- but I think you're doing great and I appreciate you're honesty. Kids and pregnancy are freakin hard! Nothing like Apple Jacks and red nail polish to pep you up.. oh and chocolate.. DUH
