Oh, the mood swings

I am going to be 100 percent honest with you, folks.  I've always been a bit of an....err...how do I say this?  An emotional person?  Yes, that's how you say it.  I've been known to be moody once or twice in my past.  I think most women can say that with certainty, but I'll admit, that I have a special skill in this department.  I may or may not have been known to overreact in my past.  To dwell on things when I shouldn't.  This is one of the reasons why having a girl scares the crap out of me.  I remember how moody I was as a teenager.  Is karma going to come bite me in the butt with this?  Will my daughter be a reincarnation of her mother?  Will I pay for what I did to my parents? (Okay, I'm sure I wasn't that bad, but for purposes of a point here, I am being a little dramatic...)

 

 

So yes, I'm moody.  I'll admit that.  So that being said, this whole pregnancy mood swing thing is seriously messing with me. 

 

 

Sure, when we first got pregnant and someone warned me about the mood swings, I thought "it couldn't be that awful, right?"  Ha, oh how wrong you were, Nain.  Because lately, I have no control whatsoever with my feelings and how I react to stuff.  And it is driving me absolutely insane, guys. 

 

 

I can go from happy to sad to aggravated in less than sixty seconds.  In ways I never dreamed possible.  It doesn't help that on top of all of the hormones, I have other stressors.  The constant worry about my family and my Grandpa are always there.  I can be sitting there, enjoying a perfectly good dinner with T, and bam, sadness.  An overwhelming feeling of just sadness.  Or T and I could be having a conversation, say, about our registry, and he'll say something that makes me start thinking...and thinking...until I'm in tears about it thinking that "oh God, no one in our family is going to buy the stuff we registered for, and we're going to have to find the money for it all ourselves, and it's just awful."  Rational?  No.  Did it happen.  Yes...(sorry, T!)

 

 

I don't want you guys to think I'm going off the deep end here, and yes, I do have someone to talk to about all of this.  But I needed to vent.  Because I'm not a big fan of this irrational form of myself.  I'd like the regular Nain to come back please!  And soon, too!

 

 

I'm not the only one out there like this...right?
