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?

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

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...
