WoW. I have been pregnant twice and Brent tells me that I am a delightful pregnant person--that is to say, I am not emotional during my pregnancies. However, the past several "monthly bills" post-pregnancy, have been fairly traumatic. I will say, I have been a raging looney.
Tuesday was a terrible day to boot anyway. With or without the lady business. It started with a pregnancy scare. Followed by a looooong hold on the phone to the pedi's office regarding my poor Mug's never. ending. cold. and it ended with a ralph all. over. the. bed. and. floor. Yep, and a whole lotta other shanagans in-between. Without going into gross detail I will brief you: A dead car battery. A husband who was training a new woman at work so he could not deal with my crazed ways. A cancelled appointment to the pedi that took me an hour to get. A dear friend who came to jump my dead battery {thanks, Benjie.}. A tearful text message convo b/t a friend that was misconstrued. A re-scheduled appointment. A sinus infection. A baby asleep in the car on the way home. A tearful phone call to my previously mentioned friend...a relief after talking to her. Big relief. A loooooooooooong wait at the pharmacy. A screaming baby. A screaming baby used to speed along the prescription filling. A coughing/gagging fit that resulted in a huge barf fest on the bed.
So, the day was a doozey to say the least, but I wonder how I would have felt had it been a non-hormone infused day. Man! Don't feel sorry for me, please. I write this post in good humor. Remembering the way I probably was before I was perpetually pregnant. My apologies to anyone who encountered me this week! I will come out of my hole in a few days!

YES, I CAN SAY IT TOO! (esp. the looney part) :) I'm sorry your day went the way it did. I feel sorry for my husband too - esp. these postpartum hormones...even 6 mos. later. I'm trying some different things though, like Evening Primrose Oil and quitting coffee. I pray it will work! I hope you are back to your regular, sweet self soon. :)
I hate to take advantage of your suffering, but I'm actually REALLY relieved to hear that it's not just me whose body was TOTALLY screwed up hormonally after giving birth! I mean, seriously people! So although I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, I'm thankful that someone else shares what I deal with! Hugs, friend!
Are you telling me that after all of the crazy pregnancy hormonal junk, it sticks around for a long time afterward??? This is NOT encouraging! My husband is going to surrender and leave me!
OMG sweet Nicki!! you are too cute! Ok, we have ALL been there, you are normal! and i too am relieved to know that i am not the only ones who has those days...esp. since i've been home from the hospital. :) Can you say exhausted mommy tears??? AHHH! josh told me to pull it together the other night...ha ha. which wasn't insensitive, but true. :) he is so good for me. :)
and in the midst of your crazy week you called and wanted to bless me with lunch. so to me, it wasn't a total loss. you have a heart of gold. :)
hugs, wanna see ya soon!
I feel your pain! My post nursing hormones have been all over the place! At least we're going through it together! ;) I'm sorry your day was so rough! When it rains it pours sometimes. Next time call me and we can go have a fun workout together.
I am sorry to hear about your yucky day. Brent and Mark would have a lot in common discussing our craziness! All I know is that I am still not "normal" three years later, so let me know if you get that one figured out:-)
Hi Nicki! YES, yes you can add me to your blog roll!! And I'll add you to mine... this one and Cardio Junkies! I love this post (sorry that you had such an icky day but can relate!)... I feel like a nut job during certain times of most months too! We have to give ourselves a break every once in a while... being a mom is a tough job, not to mention being a girl!! :)
And I am still laughing that I thought you meant my hormones! I think that's an indication that we're both pretty hormonal!
We've got to learn to just let some things go and get on with the day! So glad I have you to get through the day with!
I love you, dear friend.
I was on someone else's blog and your blog was listed on a sidebar. The hormonal title caught my eye. I can relate to what you're going through. Seems a woman's hormones fluctuate most of her life - adolescence, pregnancy, monthly, and then menopause. We probably have more bad days than good days. Blessings on your beautiful family.
I want not approve on it. I think nice post. Expressly the designation attracted me to read the unscathed story.
