I've been pretty emotional over the last week or two. It's a lot better than it was when I was pregnant with Elijah, but still. The emotions have been insane. I really do feel bad for Matt, who bears the brunt of it. As a result, this is the conversation we had this morning:
Matt - It's too bad men aren't the ones who get pregnant. We'd do a much better job of it.
Holly - How so?
Matt - Think about it. (quoting God in his best Monty Python voice) "I will give women heightened emotions......and pregnancy!!!" to which Adam replies, "Nooooooo! That's cursing me too!"
To which I responded with my best old-lady-smoker laugh (you know the one) because I'm still getting over this cold, which finished off the random conversation quite nicely, I must say.
It is kind of funny, though, that women are already prone to hormone-induced meltdowns, and then deal with pregnancy on top of that. Although, maybe men would crack under the pressure of being so darn logical most of the time, and then trying to figure out why they're so irrational and irritable when pregnant. Maybe women can take it more in stride because they're used to it already, and men can handle it when women are pregnantly emotional because they (meaning men) ARE the logical ones, and don't respond with similar emotions after being chipped away at bit by bit for 9 months. Well, Matt doesn't anyway.
Anyway, it's raining here today and I love it, although I'm sad at the same time because tonight was supposed to be a pool party for Dave's birthday (which he's missing, going away with Matt this weekend.) I'm assuming we're not having the pool party now, but perhaps we'll still do something with Dave and Farrah.
In the meantime, I'm going to go and find something healthier to eat for a snack than Glosette raisins.
