Those Crazy Hormones....

Everyone says that you get really emotional and tearful when you are pregnant.  It is true.  The other day I went to my regular OB appointment, and my doctor ordered some lab work for me.  So I went to get my blood drawn for the tests.  Granted that I wasn't very fond of the needles, I was surprised at my own reactions:  As soon as I walked out of the lab, I started crying.  I couldn't even make it back to my car, so I hid myself in the ladies' restroom and cried (out loud) for half an hour.  And, why?  I didn't even know what I was feeling.  Sad?  Scared?  Worried?  Upset?  A few people came in to use the restroom, but I didn't care.  I was in a hospital, so I figured they wouldn't be too freaked out when they heard me.  They could think whatever they wanted to.  Then an hour later, my emotion was totally opposite.  I was talking about my baby in the office with my coworkers, and I was laughing and all excited. 

Same thing happened when I talked on the phone with my husband. He called me from a foreign port, but I was yelling and screaming at him, because I was so mad at him for something he said.  Yet my tone immediately changed (after I was done yelling), and I was talking sweet and happy things with him.  He paused for 5 seconds, and said, "Wow, you are really pregnant." 

Well, what can I say?  That's just part of the process, I guess.
