Last night I told D I was tired of complaining so often about how much my back hurts...then said "Annnnd I have to pee. Again. For the 3rd effing time in 20 minutes!"

The hormones have been a totally new beast for me this pregnancy. I didn't have any real mood swings with E. With this one, I started giggling once at something D said to E, which turned into hysterical laughing, which turned into uncontrollable sobbing, in the span of less than a minute. With a "I think I'm going to pee my pants" thrown in there for good measure. D was laughing at me, and poor E was so confused...he kept saying "Mommy, you need to turn off your tears and calm your body down now!"

Baby brain. My head is all over the show. I cant think straight. Just trying to make arrangements with a friend is a nightmare - I get my days confused, my dates, place names. Twice I've tried to take something out of the oven without oven gloves.

I didn't know I would actually pee on myself when I sneeze, cough, or throw up. It didn't happen with my 1st pregnancy, just 2nd and 3rd.

Crying! I rarely ever cry but with this pregnancy..sheesh. Example, watching an old dog struggle to stand when his owner got close so he could get some pets- cue the watery eyes. I feel ridiculous!

Pregnancy Brain!

In the first tri I left my laptop in a conference room. When I went back top get it I ended up leaving my padfolio on a parking lot post. I had to drive back for the latter.

@cherrybee: be careful!

1st trimester: Being so, so, tired all the time. And enhanced sense of smell!!
2nd trimester: Hip pain / sciatica.
3rd trimester: Peeing all the time and restless sleep.
Being SO immobile.... rolling out of bed or to sit up; asking my husband to help me up if I crouched down; having to sit down and raise my feet up to my other knee to put on socks and shoes.

That I could throw up all day everyday and pee my pants in the process
