"You've Got Me Feeling Emotions...Deeper than I've Ever Dreamed Of"

Did anyone else love Mariah Carey, the early years? Man, I was all over that in middle school. I now think that when she was singing this song (Title) she might have been pregnant.

Which leads me to my topic of the day: EMOTIONS.

Up until this point, I have considered myself to be (and my husband confirmed this) pretty even-keeled during this pregnancy. UNTIL Saturday when I had a complete breakdown with hysterical sobbing AND screaming. Ooh. Lucky husband who bore the brunt of that fun.

What was I freaking out about?

Let me turn that question around by responding, What WASN'T I freaking out about?! It started with me being annoyed that my husband was going to go a night early to my in-law's lake house. This escalated into me being upset that my husband wasn't a mind reader and then that I was enormous and hot and feeling like the ugliest creaton on the planet. I believe I even screamed "JUST STOP TALKING TO ME" to him at one point. YIKES.

I believe I just needed a good cry and I got one (and then some). After my fit (and kicking my husband out of the house), I went for a run, watched a movie and had an okay night's sleep and slept in the next morning. I was "better" but I feel like since then I am on the verge of having these mini breakdowns all the time. This morning at 3:30 AM I could not handle the fact that my back hurt and that I could not find a comfortable position to sleep in. I am just praying that I don't have a meltdown at work.

Let's see, what other (benign) things have I broke down about? My most recent crying spell was during the commercial for the Iphone 4.0 - the one where the woman is having the ultrasound and her husband is participating via Iphone from Iraq. Oh Jesus - my eyes are welling up right now just thinking about it.

Thankfully I have a pregnant coworker to commiserate with right now. She is pregnant with her 3rd child and being very nice to me :)
