Blame it on the hormones!

Well, I've always done that! Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm an emotional person and I cry easily. In fact, Sarah (my dear sister-in-law) likes to call me "waterworks". When it was TOM I could watch Oprah and get all weepy. I would cry or get teary eyed when happy, sad, or filled with joy. I get touched so easily by little things that make my heart smile.

These days it seems to be a daily event. I cried when listening to a Coldplay song, I cried when telling the story of my Grandfather asking when I was due - he can't speak because of a stroke, but I could make out what he was asking and I could see the joy in his face. Heck, I'm crying right now while writing this. I don't get grumpy, moody, irritated...I cry. I guess it's a beautiful thing :)

What's funny is when I'm reading about different things going on with my body each week, everything is happening because of hormones. Not that I'm experiencing all of these symptoms, but here are some of the things that can occur due to the fluctuating hormones: morning sickness, bloating, belching, nasal congestion, slow digestion, constipation, heartburn, migraines/headaches, hot flashes, mood swings, food cravings, fatigue...the list goes on and on. Those darn hormones!!!

I'm trying to embrace the hormones and everything they are putting my body through. So if you see me crying, just hand me a tissue and know that I'm okay!
