For the Love of Hormones

Pregnancy hormones. Need I say more? They weren't horrendous the first few weeks. (Don't confirm this statement with my husband. I doubt he'll agree) I was just cranky from being exhausted 24/7... you know... from growing a human being. However, a little after 10-12 weeks they really set in.

A little before I went into the second trimester, I asked my husband to help me out with the laundry. I asked him to simply take the clothes from the dryer and put them in our bedroom. After he did, I went to fold the clothes in our room and they were spread all over our bed. Then it hit me. My lip started to quiver and the tears starting rolling. I asked, "why would you do this?" while in the midst of an ugly cry. I guess I really wanted him to leave the clothes in the laundry basket! Luckily for Heath, I calmed down after a few minutes.

Other than that, I've just been randomly crying. Crying at insurance and other, non-emotional commercials. People seem to be much more irritating to me now and I'm a lot less likely to filter my comments.

Basically, I want to share my crazy with you so you don't feel as bad about yours. It's okay to be a little nutty while you're pregnant. Your body is going through so many radical changes that it would be a little odd (to me) if you didn't have some sort of hormonal imbalance. However, take it easy on the people around you. They aren't trying to irritate you... I know it's hard to believe.

How are you coping with your hormones during your pregnancy? 
I always love comments and hearing what other women are experiencing!
