Tears of ???

Yet another experience in pregnancy weirdness. Last night, my husband and I watched a movie. Yes, it was a little sad at the end, but I wasn't really connected with it because the movie was pretty slow and boring. When it ended, I realized how late it was.... I started thinking about how we both had to get up early the next morning and I started crying. I don't get it! So I am tired today, that's normal! Why was I freaking out?

My husband attempted to hold and comfort me, but when I get like this there is no possible way to stop the tears. He tried to make me laugh, he tried to sing songs, he tried just talking sweetly to me... none of which worked of course! I cried harder because I knew that I was being dumb and crying for no reason at all. I knew that I was being unreasonable and silly, so I started laughing, which made me cry again.

My daughter had spilled a cup of water in the middle of my bed... which made me cry. My husband offered to let the dogs in for the night, which made me cry. I started thinking about strange memories of my childhood, which made me cry. I literally thought I was going crazy because I couldn't stop making myself cry! This part of pregnancy is always the strangest and most unsettling for both myself and my poor patient husband. He has to put up with me sputtering and bawling at the drop of a hat and all the while he smiles and tells me that I am just as gorgeous while crying as I ever was... I really know that I look something like a drowned rat, but I appreciate his sweet lies anyway.
