Madness/BatshitCrazy/Pregnancy?

I'm mad, I'm irrational, I'm moody. 
I feel completely out of control of my emotions 
and this scares the shit out of me. 
This pregnancy has me going bat-shit crazy. 

This kid better be the most mellow kid ever,
because it's taking all my calm and patience. 

Okay... had to get that out
and yes, I had to use the word shit. 

I don't curse on here often, 
but there was no other word really.

Alright then... moving on.

With this pregnancy
I have been a maniac. 

I have been happy one minute, 
sad the next, 
and 
extremely mad after that.

I get so mad that I just cry out of sheer frustration with life. 

Here's a recent example... 

This morning, 
since The Artist is home from school 
and I didn't have to get her ready
I decided to go for a walk early so we 
could get our nails done before picking up 
The Athlete from school...

So, I leave them in the care of Mr. Sergeant.

He's usually pretty good at these things,
so I wasn't worried.

I come home and shower 
he heads off to work.

I take The Athlete to school and we get there
he says,
"Mom, I didn't brush my teeth and we didn't have breakfast."

OH WHAT THE FECK!
IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG.

I completely lose my head. 
I call Mr. Sergeant at work 
and
proceed to scream and yell
about how irresponsible he is for not feeding 
my children and how their teeth are going to fall out because 
he doesn't care about their oral hygiene. 

Seriously, I was on one. 

I get home and I'm still livid. 

I'm thinking about how I just dropped my kid off at school without breakfast
and that I'm the world's worst mother for doing so...
I cry because I remember what it's like going to school with no breakfast
and 
I feel awful for my son. 
I feel awful for me.
I feel awful for the phone call I made to my husband. 

Now... here I sit a few hours later, trying to figure it all out. 
Why am I doing this? 
Who is this crazy person I've become?
Will the normal Lori ever return, because I don't like this one
and I'm pretty sure my husband doesn't either. 

If you've ever been pregnant,
tell me that this is somewhat
semi-even a teensybit
normal...
Please.

Oh and er... um...

If you're reading Honey, I'm sorry. 
I realize that I'm a terror 
and 
I pray that it passes. Soon.
I hope that you still love me
and 
 that you forgive me
and 
that one day we'll laugh at the psycho 
from the past. 

I love you and I'm so very sorry. 
Forgivemeplease.

Ive never been pregnant, but I know it's common to have mood swings during pregnancy. This is apparently caused by hormonal changes. It shall pass. Hope u feel better :)

Totally normal. They say your hormones level out somewhat in the second trimester. I was a crying wreck for 4 months straight. I picked fights. I was overly sensitive. You're doing pregnant perfectly :)

Totally normal. I always thought my husband was the most awesome man for putting up with my shit not once but 3 times bwahahaha....he just understood it was not me acting out. It was the pregnant monster LOL

I do have to say it was really bad with the girls and I know you guys aren't finding out but I'm taking a guess baby will be a "she"

I remember one day my husband came home and I just started crying. I was pregnant with Alyssa. I was just a crying fool. He just held me and didn't say a word. Christopher is standing looking at us asking him why is mommy crying. He tells him she's just happy LOL. Then told me to go take a drive and come back.

Don't mess with a pregnant woman, clearly they didn't get the memo
