Lee Ann Womack has been making me mist, cry, and out and out bawl for years. No pregnancy required.

Hey Sis,
You have my full sympathy… When I was pregnant with twins and was asked when I was due (at 5 months) that was sad. When I was pregnant with solobebe and I was asked when I was due (at 6 months) that was horrid!

Beware of the TV!!

Between the 5 year anniversary of 9/11, the year anniversary of Katrina and the raging pregnancy hormones of my own I am determined to not watch anything but Tivo for the next 2 weeks!

I’m 16 weeks pregnant, and The Weepy has just started this week. I generally don’t cry very often, so it’s pretty weird.

And, I got my first “you sure there’s only one in there?” comment from the grocery store checkout lady. I couldn’t decide whether I should burst into tears or punch her in the neck.

I love when things smell/sound/feel like my childhood.

i agree with you on the matt video, I’m far from pregnant, but there’s just something that makes me cry too, as it’s so heart tugging.

This made me laugh at the doctor’s office today when I realized that the EXACT SAME THING was happening to me (what with our babies being conceived on the very same day as we determined at Blogher). The midwife, while routing around for the baby’s heartbeat, said “and you should begin showing in the next month or so.”

I’m trying to decide if having a blind midwife is a good thing. Is it?

I’m at 19 weeks and agree that strangers, friends, and family say the darnedest things. “Are you excited, or was it an accident?”

And, Josephine, Matt’s dancing is joyful and the music is moving and isn’t it great that he’s unself-consciously jigging in all of those interesting places and even the gum company seems excited about it. Or maybe that’s just the hormones talking.

I gotta tell you, the crying only gets worse once the baby comes. not necessarily in a bad way, but just in a generally more sensitive and emotional way. I was at the market by myself the other day, and a little boy, probably 2, had a balloon animal. He dropped it on the asphalt and it broke. He stood there, dumbfounded, for a second, and then started sobbing. His mom picked him up, and he was just so sad. And I was crying. It was pathetic. I don’t even know the kid, at all.
