Last night Doug and I were discussing Crazy Girl. This is the term used to lovingly describe hormonal me. She comes out occasionally for a brief, tearful moment, and generally goes nicely back into hiding after a little bit of snuggling and reassurance. I have noticed, however, that pregnancy hormones put her into over-drive.
I cry at everything. A missing sock, a broken nail, not being able to find my nail polish in the right shade of pink, the rugs in the house not being in the right place by an inch or two (or twelve).
I have lost my mouth sensor. I tend to say what pops into my head, and that isn't always a good thing. I actually told a coworker to "shut up and do his job" when he complained to me about the time it would take him to do something the other day (and yes, I did call back and apologize-- in tears of course).
I throw tantrums. My poor closet bears the brunt of these tantrums as they are normally about a certain shirt not fitting when it did two days prior.
When I am hungry, I am HUNGRY. NOW. Not 10 minutes from now, but N-O-W. And most likely I am craving something that is on the don-not-eat-when-pregnant list which will most likely end with me in tears.
Sigh....
Yes, I do love being pregnant. I love feeling my baby move, I love her little hiccups, I love hearing her little heartbeat pumping away.
However, I do miss feeling a little more sane. I'd like to take Crazy Girl and shove her back into her cage for a while, and just be normal...well, as normal as I can be LOL!
After you have your baby, expect Crazy Girl to get even crazier. ;) Your hormones *will* even out eventually...I promise!
