Pregnancy emotions gone wild: Jane cried this morning and I just want her to know…

Today started off as a typical morning for Jane and I.  We woke up, let our dog out, fed her, and Jane and I talked about everything we need to do today.  But our typical morning quickly turned into untypical morning fueled by pregnancy hormones and emotions.

I was sitting at the kitchen table eating my cereal and checking email, and Jane was in the living room on her computer watching TV and eating her bowl of cereal.

After a few minutes I hear her sniffle.  I didn’t think anything of it, but then it happened again.  And again.  Uh oh.  I got up and went over to her and she had tears in her eyes.  ”Beautiful, what’s wrong?” I asked.

Jane let it out and started crying like crazy.  ”I feel so bad, I’m so sorry”, she said.  She went on to tell me that she was so sorry for asking me the same thing several times, her emotions, her pregnant brain, and that she doesn’t want me or anyone who reads our pregnancy blog to think she’s a bad person.

I looked at her computer and see that she just read my previous blog post.  Oh no.

We talked for awhile and I let her know that I love her so much and that I know she doesn’t mean to do these things.  I know it’s all because of her pregnancy and emotions. I know she doesn’t mean anything bad by it.  She’s not annoying to me.  And no one that reads our blog things she’s a bad person – and I of course do not think she’s a bad person at all.  In fact, I think she’s the greatest woman in the entire world.

She then began to cry even more and said, “What if I ask our son the same thing a few times because pregnant brain can continue awhile after he’s born?  What if he doesn’t like me?”  The crying became much more intense and her tears flowed off of her cheeks like a waterfall.

I explained to her that will not be the case and that our son will for-sure be a ‘mommies’ little boy’ and he’ll love her more than anything in the world.  I promised her that she won’t annoy him.  I did my best to comfort her during this pregnancy week 18 emotional outflow.

We hugged and I told her everything is OK, I love her very much, I understand she is emotional, I understand she doesn’t mean to be mean or ask me things over and over.  I told her that many of those things make me laugh and they help me get through the tough times when the pregnancy emotions are really running wild.  We talked a little more and she felt better and went to go take a bath.

I can totally see where Pregnant Jane is coming from…

Although I can see where she’s coming from, I cannot imagine what this is like for her.  Poor girl isn’t like herself sometimes.  It must be very hard for her.

You see, Jane is the most wonderful and most beautiful woman in the world, both inside and out.  I fell in love with her VERY quickly after we met.  And the reason for that was because I saw how big and pure Jane’s heart was.  I never thought I’d ever find a woman who has as big of a heart as my mother did, but Jane easily reached that level.

Jane is a special one-of-a-kind girl and I still get amazed that I married a girl as wonderful as her.  And I know she’s going to be the most amazing mother in the world.  I feel bad that she took any part of my post the wrong way, but I also realize that her pregnancy emotions are running a little wild this morning.

This is all part of the journey and even though these little things are tough on the heart sometimes for both of us, they are bringing us closer and closer and our love for each other is deepening more and more every single day.

So Jane, keep your head up beautiful.  It’s just those damn hormones running through you that do this to you.  We all know this isn’t how you normally are at all.  The good thing is that there are a lot of people who can relate to what we’re going through right now – and/or they are also going through all this stuff right now along with us.

It’s not easy, but in the end when our little Tarzan Junior is born and we look at him for the first time, all of these little things we’ve gone through will melt away and will only be remembered when we look back on these blog posts with our grandchildren.

You are the BEST wife in the world.  You will be the BEST mom in the world.  I love you so much beautiful.  Very much.

And man… I just saw you walk by the hallway to get a towel and you were naked!  Whew!  You are looking GOOD!  Whooo Hooo!
