Have I mentioned lately how emotional this pregnancy has made me? I know I am an emotional girl usually but this has really pushed me to a new level. Take this example....
Peter and I went to Babies R Us to register. I had spent hours beforehand researching the items that I wanted to register for so I went in feeling ready. I was a little worried that Peter would not be very into it but he was completely on-board. For the first thirty minutes or so I was doing great. We made it through receiving blankies and bedding, we made it through swaddlers and diapers....then we got to the big stuff - swings, bouncers, highchairs, playpens, etc. Suddenly I felt completely overwhelmed. There were so many options and in many cases, the exact one that I wanted (ahead of time) was not even a product in the store. This became very upsetting. To add more frustration my feet were starting to hurt and swell up. Peter could see that I was starting to get discouraged so we stopped for a rest several times. Then, out of nowhere I completely burst into tears. Peter gently led me to the front of the store and found me a bottle of water and a comfy chair before leaving to pull up the car. Immediatley after he walked out of the store an associate ran over to me and asked in a worried voice, "Maam is everything OK?" as if maybe Peter was the cause of my outburst. I told her that I was fine but when Peter came back in all of the associates glared at him - Poor guy!!! I can't be the only pregnant woman to have cried in their store, right?
Obviously I opted to complete my registry online. :)
