I have been an emotional mess.

Everything new thing Andrew does or just watching him sleep, I cry.

Then I read something on here about the newborns or read something the PG ladies wrote and I cry.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

You're a mom...

I cried a lot in the beginning just watching him sleep. Believe me I'm going to fight hard to keep the tears from comings out once his first birthday approaches which is in 3 1/2 months.

I was going to write the same thing! Everythin Gillian does makes me emotional.

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

Another emotional mom here!

Sometimes more than others. I'm having an incredibly hard time dealing with going back to work in 2 weeks, so I'm crying about EVERYTHING lately.

Maybe you are PMSing? I get extremely emotional, more so since having DD, around that time.

Whatever it is - I hope you feel better

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

Ok, I'm going to be the odd one out here and tell you that I don't think it's normal to be crying at everything. Maybe you need to talk out what's going on and what's making you so emotional. I mean, it's normal to be weepy every now and then, but if you're crying over a lot of things, you definitely should talk to someone.

ya know i have to agree here.. i mean did this just start? or has it been ever since andrew was born? is it that time of month? are you preggo? i guess you just have to ask yourself some questions to narrow it down to maybe just a bad day?..or something you need to talk about? def talk it out..and we are here if you need us!

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

After my first son was born, I turned into such an emotional person. It took me some time to get use to it. I would cry over anything. Now that I have 2, I have gotten even MORE emotional. I guess it just happens, when you become a mom

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

DD is the same age as Andrew and she seems to be doing so much more lately and becoming more "grown up". I find myself a little emotional about that. Looking at pictures and seeing how much she has changed does it too. I don't think I've cried about it but I wouldn't be alarmed if I did. However, if you feel like you are crying more than you think is normal for you, maybe you should talk with a professional. Take care and enjoy your little cutie pie.

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

It ironic - I didn't cry when Samantha was born and was so lucky not to really have issues w/ ppd - but every so often, she'll do something so pecious and my eyes well up...and everytime I watch someone else give birth on a baby story, and I am holding Samantha (usually feeding her at the time!) I well up too!

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

My DD is almost a year and I still cry over her all of the time. Wait until you get closer to his first birthday party

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

Thanks everyone. I def know it's not depression. Its not an unhappy cry its a proud, content cry if that makes sense. It def has gotten worse the more things Andrew does.

Wait until he's walking

Re: I have been an emotional mess.

I don't cry but DH still thinks it's weird how excited I get over all the new things she does
