I cry a lot. Not over everything. I'm not depressed or unhappy or anything like that, but I get emotional over weird things. Earlier this week my kids were watching Rugrats on Netflix (you know, 90's cartoon on Nickelodeon about mischievous babies). It happened to be a Mother's day episode that explained why the character, Chuckie, doesn't have a mom. Of course, she died when he was a very small baby and it was so sad! This is a kids show for heaven's sake. I didn't even watch the whole show because I was in the shower for the first part, but I saw the end and just bawled. What in the world is wrong with me?!
Then today I was listening to my pandora cleaning jukebox while I cleaned (hence the title of cleaning jukebox). It is a station that I customized and has a lot of 90's music on it like Wallflowers, Fastball and Smashing Pumpkins. Anyway, a song by the band LIVE came on, I think its called Lightening Crashes, its about a mom dying after giving birth. I bawled again. (A couple of days ago I also cried during a song called Runaway Train because its about missing children).
I keep coming across stories on yahoo involving missing children as well (are there a lot of them lately or something?). I can't even read them anymore. All I do is cry.
I see a pattern emerging here as I write these experiences down. If its about mother's or children I cry. I just figured it out. It must be a pregnancy thing. How can I make it stop! I'm sick of crying!
Also, on a completely different topic. I've been listening to hypnobirthing at night (and sometimes in the afternoon if I'm lucky enough to have free time), and I still fall asleep every time. Just give me your opinion...Do you think its seeping in even if I'm unconscious? Do you think the fact that I can't stay awake is actually a good thing because its making me feel more relaxed, or is it just incredibly boring? I'm kind of frustrated with it, what do you think?

When do you consider it a problem?

Sorry about all of the crying. Maybe it is worse because you still had some of the crazy hormones left over from Echo? I find your falling asleep to the hypno-birthing very funny :) Maybe it really is just amazingly relaxing and you will just fall asleep while giving birth! I know Brittni (my sister in law) did it with her kid and had a lot of success with it. Maybe you still are learning something while sleeping.
The crying thing...I think it goes with pregnancy. I know nothing about the other thing, but if listening to it relaxes you, then keep doing it. You need all the rest you can get!!
Um...you're pregnant..aren't you supposed to cry all the time? As long as you don't feel depressed, then you're probably just hormonal!!
And I think everyone falls asleep with the hypnobirthing practices. They're ridiculous!
Totally normal. Preganancy and crying go hand and hand. I can hardly listen to the country music station while pregnant...all the songs make me cry.
Do you remember Steve (the original guy on Blue's Clues). I was pregnant when they replaced him with Joe. I was telling my in-laws about how much I hated the change and I started crying. They have never let me live it down.
I have very recently also cried while listening to Runaway Train (the video especially gets to me) and Lightening Crashes (it was on the radio when I was driving home from the hospital late one night) I think it it totally a pregnant thing and it will probably last a little while after you have the baby too. I am so sick of crying!!!! It will get better soon though. I say keep doing the hypnobirthing practice. It can't hurt and it still helped me even though I usually fell asleep.
I cried today watching Tangled with Logen. I cry all the time too, I think it has something to do with being a Floyd! :)
