Oh my goodness, what a day, and it's only 2:30pm.
I'm not one to blame things on hormones usually-but today it must be the hormones?!?! So we went to IKEA today (big shock) but this time we actually had a reason! :) A few days ago, we bought a dresser for our bedroom- yes at IKEA-we didn't have one next door (only our wardrobes) but I was really tired of shoving everything in my wardrobe and decided I needed more storage space. Anyway, after Marc put that together I realized that there needed to be a mirror above the dresser so I could fix my hair. There are no outlets in bathrooms here, so I have to do my hair in our bedroom. Anyway, so we were back at IKEA this morning looking for mirrors...and we found one that I love. I just hope it looks as good on the wall above the dresser. And this really has nothing to do with my hormones. I think.
So, we decided since it was 11:45am and the girls were "starving" that we would just go ahead and eat lunch there. I often tell Marc that eating out is my love language- only because I don't have to fix anything and we don't eat out often, so I was thrilled. I was hungry for some of their soup and a roll, so as I walked over to check out the soup selection I picked up the metal lid on the soup container and promptly dropped it- with a really loud bang! The soup sits down in one of those cafeteria style warmers- hot water underneath kind of thing- well there was no soup container in it, just the lid over the steam, which instantly burnt my finger. Marc looked at me as if I'd lost my mind ( he didn't' realize it was empty from where he was standing) and everyone stared at me and I could feel the tears coming. What in the world? I normally would have laughed, the burn was not that bad! The lady over the counter just looked at me and I felt like the biggest idiot ever! I was holding in the tears until Marc asked me what was wrong. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG! Why am I standing in the IKEA restaurant crying over this? We had seen someone we knew from church there and I was thinking great, now they are going to see me crying when I just said a rather cheerful "Hi" to them 5 seconds before! I couldn't think straight so Marc asked if I wanted to leave, I said yes and we headed to the lift (elevator). The tears flowed once behind the lift doors and I couldn't stop them! Cerys was very concerned about me then asked if we were going to get to eat lunch! Ha, bless her!
We made our way to the checkouts and paid for our mirror and ended up at the snack counter so the girls could get a hot dog. I apologized to my sweet husband for that episode and we just laughed. Then just now, a package arrived from my sister in law- all of my maternity clothes. We opted to pay nearly $90 to have it shipped to us because it's cheaper than replacing it all here. I was really hoping it would arrive this week as my jeans are feeling kind of snug...and let me just mention here..is that normal to show already on your 3rd child- 11 or 12 weeks along? (I'm still not sure how many weeks I am- will just go by what my midwife says next week!) So, as I opened the box and saw cards to the girls from their cousins and a picture of the 3 boys , I felt the tears coming again. Not to mention what I felt when I saw the size of some of the clothes!!! Did I really wear those last time with Bailey?!?! What is up?!?!
Like I said, I'm blaming the hormones because I don't know what else to blame it on.

Oh, you poor thing. I'm sorry you had such a hard time. I'd totally blame it on the hormones. :)
And yeah, with that third baby, I was showing WAY sooner than with the first two. I was showing even though I was so sick I was losing weight. Go figure.
Hope you have a better day today, and can I just tell you how jealous I am that you have IKEA. There isn't one in Colorado. The closest one is in Phoenix...and that's not really close.
Blame those hormones! = )
Yes, you show sooner with each baby.
I had one of those days on Friday. 1. The exit I needed was closed so I had to wander around downcity to get back to the ob office. 2. Forgot my lab slip. When I asked for another one in the ob office she said the lab was closed. Ugh! 3. Finally saw the doctor (I was early in order to do the lab first) and felt like she didn't really listen to what I had to say. 4. Stopped on the way home to buy Ellie's new quilt only it had to be ordered. 5. Tears came as I recounted the saga to Joel when I got home.
Those hormones are troublesome things!
Blame EVERYTHING on the hormones and being the third pregnancy. :) I cried a lot with my third one too and about silly stuff although my brain has been so altered by having 3 that I can't remember why for the life of me. HA! As for showing earlier, yep, happened to me with the third too. My 3rd was where I discovered one of those "maternity belts" - like an oversized elastic head-band that you can put over your pants to help hold them up since I carried Daniel way down low and even maternity pants started falling off. These days will pass, and just the other day we were commenting how we cannot imagine life without Daniel, our third. He is the happiest and most laid-back kid in the world.
Aw, (((HUGS))) Yes, hormones. THough, I always hated when people said that. It felt like an insult somehow. LOL
And, yes, its TOTALLY normal to be in maternity clothes this early. With Cailyn (#2) I had to wear only elastic waistbands at SIX WEEKS!!! I was in full on materity pants by 8 or 10 weeks. So, you're totally normal!!
Ummm...I had to move to maternity clothes with Silas at 10 weeks. And trust me, it was necessary.:) I was trying to hold out to finish out the school year that year and then switch to maternity clothes over the summer, but I couldn't make it! So, I think you're doing great at 11 or 12. :)
I'm so sorry...but, I have those days and I'm not pregnant...what's up with that?!?!
No outlets in bathrooms...really?
Aw Charity you are so sweet!
Gonna blog a similar episode for you to read from our hols last week - and I'm not even pregnant!
By the way, what do you have in bathrooms in the States?
I am HORRIBLY hormonal when pregnant. I know it, but I've never been able to do anything about it. I get upset and cry and get angry ridiculously easy. Physically, I'm usually fine (never got sick at all with the first three, but was nauseous with #4)... but emotionally, I'm a total wreck.
hang in there and remember, you're growing a person!
Oh, and yeah, I showed really early with #3 and 4. Actually, I'm still showing. My muscles never recovered after #4. You can feel the division :( Each one got progressively lower too. Makes for an easier delivery... but not for easier walking.
And I too am jealous that you have an IKEA.
Ummm, you mean it took 11 whole weeks before you needed your maternity clothes?
Yeah, I think that's pretty darn good.
so i'm wondering why it doesn't link to my blog... cuz whenever I type in 'becca' in the name/url slot I always enter my blog address too.
hmmmmmmmmm
this isn't the only blog I do that on... didn't realize it wasn't leaving my blog when I commented :/
I wonder why it has a spot for the URL if it doesn't do anything with it? Or maybe I'm supposed to include http? I'll try that...
