I'm Blaming it on the Hormones!

Oh my goodness, what a day, and it's only 2:30pm.

I'm not one to blame things on hormones usually-but today it must be the hormones?!?! So we went to IKEA today (big shock) but this time we actually had a reason! :) A few days ago, we bought a dresser for our bedroom- yes at IKEA-we didn't have one next door (only our wardrobes) but I was really tired of shoving everything in my wardrobe and decided I needed more storage space. Anyway, after Marc put that together I realized that there needed to be a mirror above the dresser so I could fix my hair. There are no outlets in bathrooms here, so I have to do my hair in our bedroom. Anyway, so we were back at IKEA this morning looking for mirrors...and we found one that I love. I just hope it looks as good on the wall above the dresser. And this really has nothing to do with my hormones. I think.

So, we decided since it was 11:45am and the girls were "starving" that we would just go ahead and eat lunch there. I often tell Marc that eating out is my love language- only because I don't have to fix anything and we don't eat out often, so I was thrilled. I was hungry for some of their soup and a roll, so as I walked over to check out the soup selection I picked up the metal lid on the soup container and promptly dropped it- with a really loud bang! The soup sits down in one of those cafeteria style warmers- hot water underneath kind of thing- well there was no soup container in it, just the lid over the steam, which instantly burnt my finger. Marc looked at me as if I'd lost my mind ( he didn't' realize it was empty from where he was standing) and everyone stared at me and I could feel the tears coming. What in the world? I normally would have laughed, the burn was not that bad! The lady over the counter just looked at me and I felt like the biggest idiot ever! I was holding in the tears until Marc asked me what was wrong. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG! Why am I standing in the IKEA restaurant crying over this? We had seen someone we knew from church there and I was thinking great, now they are going to see me crying when I just said a rather cheerful "Hi" to them 5 seconds before! I couldn't think straight so Marc asked if I wanted to leave, I said yes and we headed to the lift (elevator). The tears flowed once behind the lift doors and I couldn't stop them! Cerys was very concerned about me then asked if we were going to get to eat lunch! Ha, bless her!

We made our way to the checkouts and paid for our mirror and ended up at the snack counter so the girls could get a hot dog. I apologized to my sweet husband for that episode and we just laughed. Then just now, a package arrived from my sister in law- all of my maternity clothes. We opted to pay nearly $90 to have it shipped to us because it's cheaper than replacing it all here. I was really hoping it would arrive this week as my jeans are feeling kind of snug...and let me just mention here..is that normal to show already on your 3rd child- 11 or 12 weeks along? (I'm still not sure how many weeks I am- will just go by what my midwife says next week!) So, as I opened the box and saw cards to the girls from their cousins and a picture of the 3 boys , I felt the tears coming again. Not to mention what I felt when I saw the size of some of the clothes!!! Did I really wear those last time with Bailey?!?! What is up?!?!

Like I said, I'm blaming the hormones because I don't know what else to blame it on.
