Hope you all had a fabulous valentines day! I try to have fun with all the holidays. . . but to be quite honest Valentines Day is my least favorite. I think when you love someone, you should tell them and show them all the time. And although I'm not a gem all the time, I feel that Todd and I are able to do that. Speaking of which. . . I don't know what has come over me. I've heard that when you are pregnant, your moods may change quite a bit. I haven't really experienced that until these last two weeks.
I've been really busy with school and working all sorts of 12 hour shifts for clinicals. Hence, I have not been sleeping much and eating nothing but junk. I love working at Primary Children's Hospital, but sometimes I come home feeling very weighed down. You see and care for some kids in some really rough situations and you just wish you could bring them all home with you so they are actually taken care of. In the evenings, after a long day of clinicals and knowing I have so much homework. . I feel like I have all these emotions just waiting to explode. Then it does and I just cry. I've probably cried more in these last two weeks than I have in the last year- and the most frustrating thing is there is no real reason.
If you experienced a bout of this while pregnant. . . please tell me it goes away! This Valentines, Todd and I finally went to The Cheesecake Factory with the Keeles. I have never been and really wanted to try it. It was so much fun!! but word to the wise. . . Don't go on Valentines Day or you will wait forever. Luckily it is next door to the mall and Brenley was there to entertain us.
These last two weeks have made me realize what a truly amazing husband I have. Sometimes I have no idea how I got so lucky! I have tested him lately and found that he really will do absolutely anything for me. He is so supportive and doesn't ever make me feel crazy when I just need a good cry, but he will sit there and hold me for an hour and play with my hair. He thanks me all the time for carrying our baby, and always makes sure I am comfortable. He loves to make me laugh and is so much fun to wake up to everyday. I'm so blessed to have him and can't wait to have this baby boy in our little family! Well this was a really random post/vent. Although I wasn't really planning on writing about my emotional last couple weeks and how much I love my husband, I actually do feel better just writing. Maybe its time to invest in a journal? Anyways. . . I hope you all had a great Valentines Day sunday!

Oh honey there isn't a pregnant women around that hasn't felt the same way your feeling. LOL and yes you seriously feel crazy but your body is doing some crazy things. Not only all the hormones, but than your body is changing so much so you have body image issues, than the fear of being a mom, the unknown. Seriously we all have and NEED to have a good cry. And it goes away, not right away. I was crazy the first two weeks with Crae. But you will feel normal again. Thank goodness for good supportive hubbys. When your feeling emotionally crazy just laugh it off and know we ALL do it. LOL. Love ya hon, your gonna be a fabulous mamma
Oh Jeanette, I really don't know how you do it! I know how you feel about working the 12 hour shifts and I have an idea how hard nursing school is (hence, the reason I haven't gone for it yet) I just don't know how you could do it all and be pregnant at the same time. You must be super girl or at least you are in my eyes! I think you have every right to be emotional! And yes, it will get better! It will take a while (just wait...you think you're crying now...wait till you're baby is here, those first couple weeks!) It might get worse before it gets better but it does get better! :)
I can relate! Some days, I can cry on cue! Don't worry, it goes away. You are so awesome for going to nursing school and being pregnant and working so much! You will be blessed for it. It will be all so worth it when you are done!
I don't know what it is but sometimes Aaron still doesn't get it. Even the second time around! Lately I my skin gets all tingley when he wants to hug or kiss me. Don't get me wrong I love him, but I'm just attributing it to being pregnant right now. It does weird things to you!
Truth be told, sometimes I want to poke my eyes out when I read about people's loves stories on their blogs and blah, gag, blah, but honestly, I could tell yours was so genuine and it was delightful to read. :)
You guys are so cute! Yes, pregnancy does some CRAZY things to the body...so you are NOT alone!
I'm sorry that you're working 12 hour shifts and not getting much sleep, that doesn't sound fun...however, that's about how it is after the baby comes, so I guess you're just preparing yourself in a way:)
Cute post. Everyone gets mushy for Valentine's and it makes me laugh. Good luck with the pregnancy crying. I don't ever look forward to that!
