Cranky!

Man, I'm cranky. I don't know what has gotten into me lately - wait, yes I do. I should rephrase that. I don't know how pregnancy can have such a dramatic influence on your mood, but it has on mine over the last few days! I am so easily irritated... to the point of screaming or yelling at myself. Luckily this has not happened toward anyone else but my poor husband has had to listen to the effects of it several times in the last few days. He has just patiently come alongside me each time and asked what he can do to help - saving me from more of a fit than I'm already having. Things as simple as putting the sheets on the bed just make it seem like the world is falling in around me! Two minutes later I can look back and say "That was stupid - why did that seem like such a big deal?", but at the time - aaaagghhhh!! If I had one of those veins that pulsed in my forehead when I was mad, it would probably explode. Luckily the episodes don't happen too often (according to me), but even once is silly! I want so badly to NOT be one of those cranky pregnant women that are demanding and difficult to be around. Lately it has just gotten harder.
Please say a prayer for Andy when you think of it... I'm so thankful for him. He is my sanity during these moments and he is doing such a great job at being supportive and strong for me when I'm... well, loco. If he wasn't there to alleviate the "problems," I would hate to see what I'd be like!

Haha! Oh, the wonderful world of pregnancy :) Remember it's just hormons! And once the episode's over try to be as nice as you can to Andy, poor thing... :)

Love you.

Ahh, Steff! You're going through a very normal part of pregnant womanhood, but I know it's hard to feel like you're, well, outa control! This too shall pass. Thanks heaven's for a husband like Andy who doesn't just pout and head for his cave!
Love & prayers, Kathy
