waterworks
i am officially pregnant. if i didn't realize it before, i realized yesterday. my hormones are going CRAZY. it is as if you took every time i've ever gone through teenage angst or had pms in my life and added it all up. that is how i am feeling. i have always been what some would consider a crier, but nothing compared to yesterday.
the waterworks began when i got into work and talked to my mom. she told me that she and her closest girlfriends had enjoyed a champagne toast to the new generation while looking at my sonogram the other day. that is a touching story no matter what your hormone level, but for me, the second i heard that, the tears started and did not stop. about an hour later i spoke with jim, who has been in s.f. for work the last few days. all i did was tell him that i missed him and then they started again! it was like i had let the floodgates open and all was rushing through. later in the afternoon i talked to sis katie and she told me she was eating chocolate malted crunch ice cream from thrifty, just like we used to do during summers in phx. what do you think happened? yep, tears. a lot of them. and all over ice cream. and then last, but certainly not least, was the final round when i got home from work. my friend kim send a care package addressed to "cara, jim, and little bean knapp." i'll give you one guess as to what happened when i saw the addressee(s) and read the thoughtful, beautiful card.
after all of this, i started to feel like a crazy person! is this what the next 6+ months are going to be like? you lose the nausea but gain temporary insanity? in the middle of crying bouts, i asked my girlfriend cc (who is 12 weeks preg, also due in feb 2007) if she has been emotional lately. of course she replied YES. what made me feel even better was an email i got from her later, which said "i told [hubby] that you asked me if i'm emotional right now and he laughed and said to call him if you want specific examples." hysterical. looked it up online, and they all say the same thing. "are you feeling emotional? it's normal!"
i guess that's just how it is. i am going to have to embrace my (somehwat unstable) mental state and go with it. just make sure i am stocked with kleenex before you decide to share news, photos, touching stories, memories, or heartfelt thoughts, and i'll be just fine.

Ah sugar, I love it. It's so sweet. Cuz all that stuff is so sweet. (pushing sickening by the way...moms, sisters, cutie friends!) Just jokes. Each and every one of those may have pushed this cynical ol' b over the edge, so just enjoy the experience and embrace the tears. Sounds like they are mostly good stuffs.
Cannot wait to see you. XOXO
Thrifty ice cream rocks. Don't they have that in DC? I think the bean would really like you to have some.
Seriously, if only we all could be so in touch with our feelings... and heart. Not a bad gig if you can get it. Be well sweet Cara.
