Hormonal Hangovers

That's what I'm calling it instead of "morning sickness". The good news is, after about 3 weeks of feeling so incredibly sick I could barely get dressed in the mornings (most days I just didn't), I am starting to feel much better. I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks and am now trying to get some of it back so my OB doesn't lecture me again! Anyway, now the hangovers involve terrible headaches (much more managable for me than the tummy stuff!) and sudden outbursts of uncontrollable tears. The emotional thing came at the worst time because my sweet little baby is about to have another birthday. He will be 2 on Tuesday. I know it's a happy time, and of course it's inevitable that he will get another year older every year just like the rest of us...but it's bittersweet. I can't believe what a big boy he is. How great he talks. How strong he is. How much he is like his Daddy (especially about eating and holding Mommy's hand). He is so grown up when I leave him in the nursery at church. He runs ahead of me to get to his "class", hugs his teachers and says "Bye Mommy!". He gives hugs generously and is so quick to apologize when he's hurt someone or done wrong. And says "I love you Mommy" for no reason at all. So I am sitting here typing and fighting to see through my tears. I can't wait to meet our new baby, but it will definitely change things around here and I guess I worry a little about that. But truthfully I cried at a coffee commercial this morning so I know a lot of it is the Hormonal Hangover making me feel this way!
