Emotional Overload

Have you had an emotional overload day while pregnant? I think it is something that I have as a pregnancy side effect. I don't get morning sickness bad. I have never had heart burn but emotional overload days, they just suck!


This morning was the worst one yet and I think that it wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have to deal with my mom and her attitude this morning. 


When I get these emotional days I just feel like crying. I can barely function and just want to sit and cry about everything. It normally starts right after I wake up, whether it be from a nap or over night. The only cure is to lay back down and get more sleep.


Like I said, today was the worst one yet and I felt horrible because I couldn't just curl up on the couch and rest like I have in the past. With Rex it's hard to actually get a nap and really feel better quickly but today I had to do something. I had him pick out a movie and I went and laid in bed. I felt like a horrible mom but we have his hematologist follow up appointment from his surgery that I had to get better. 


He did great. It took about 1.5 hours of laying down to help me feel better. He watched his movie and then went in his room to play. He came in once to my room and checked on me and it was so cute. I'm glad that we have the lay out we do because I was able to feel somewhat comfortable laying in bed while Rex played in the rooms around me. Before it would have been another floor and it just wouldn't have worked. 


I feel better, I still have a little headache but it's not overwhelming me and making me want to cry. I got a shower and I'm needing to finish getting ready and lunch made so we can head out to the doctor. 


M was great too. I called him crying because I didn't know what to do or how to feel. He just told me to go lay down and get some rest and let him know how I felt after I got some rest. And he called my dad who is working close to home to let him know I wasn't feeling well so if he had a chance or if I really needed help he would be prepared to come home. He's such a great hubby when I need him to be!


Does anyone else have these crazy emotional overload days or is this just something that I go through?

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
