I think the emotions have finally hit me. The hormonal changes in my body have finally caught up with my tear ducts, and boy did they flow yesterday. I have to say though, having hit 26 weeks this past Friday, I can honestly report this is my first major emotional outburst. Pretty good I think. I can smile about it this morning, but yesterday, there were no smiles...well, one from my husband, but that only heightened the tears.
So why yesterday? I really am not sure. There were a couple of things that borthered me throughout the day, like my husband laying on the couch all day long watching college basketball, but nothing major. In fact, looking back, I had a good day: I woke up in the morning around 9. The weather was perfect outside so I found a cusion and got comfortable on a chair in the back yard and read my book. As the day progressed I enjoyed and nice breakfast (fresh grapefruit from the tree) and proceeded to keep myself busy. Thoughout the day I kept busy doing several loads of laundry, picking up and dusting the house, and even doing some raking of weeds in the back yard (although this didn't last long as I realized it added strain to my lower abdomin). I was even able to relax some more through the day and actually finish my book. Yes, it was a great day.
But something happened...around 4:30 or 5:00 I looked at my husband in the couch, I can't even remember if he asked me a question or even said anything. All I remember is I felt the emotions rushing in. As the tears started he asked me what was wrong (out of genuine concern I am sure). I responded to his question by reporting, "I'm just bored," and then the tears flowed. And they flowed, and they flowed! Actually, for the rest of the evening those tears were triggered easily and often reappeared.
Lovely, ahh, the joys of increased hormonal changes! How long does this last?
