The Emotional Ups and Downs of Pregnancy -- I sure experienced this last night! We got back from a very nice week long vacation yesterday in the early afternoon. DS was asleep (but much later than usual). DH and I were still up at 1 this morning, and I had a meltdown. I really hate not being in control of my emotions. I expect my body to be out of control with the baby due in less than a month, but I still want my brain and my emotions. Unfortunately neither of them are "me" anymore either. In some ways it will get better after the baby is born; at least "pregnant brain" will go away. But I will most likely get even less sleep and the emotional roller coaster will just be on a different track.
