These are not a good combination. Twice I have broken down in tears while driving in my car and listening to some cheesy country song about "daddy's little girl" or "remember when we fell in love" or whatever. It is completely out of control! My husband will tell anyone that I am typically a pretty level-headed person. But not when you are pregnant. It is so embarrassing to walk into a restaurant to meet Justin for lunch after I have just finished bawling my eyes out. He laughed. What is even funnier is that I laughed too...right before I cried. I have never before been this emotional, and somehow I feel like the days of cool-headedness are gone. It seems there is something about having children that turns most people into a pile of mush. I don't think it happens for the man until the delivery room, but the woman gets 9-10 months of "practice" before that. Until then, I have vowed to keep my radio turned off -- or at least have it tuned to a hard rock station where I can't understand the words.
Another thing I can't understand is how forgetful I have become since being pregnant. I have been such a scatterbrain! I suppose the most frustrating thing about all this -- the hormones, the forgetfulness, etc. -- is that much of it seems beyond my control. Or is it? I have no idea. It is all so overwhelming. It is truly going to be the Lord who gets me through this in one piece :)
