When we got back from the hospital with our son, I ordered Jimmy Johns for lunch and Julie was sitting on the couch DEVOURING a turkey tom when out of nowhere I heard sniffling and weeping.

I look over and she’s chewing a HUGE bite of sammy, wiping tears from her eyes with her sweatshirt sleeve. I asked what was wrong, she shakes her head to tell me nothing’s wrong, so I ask how her sandwich was and she does a few sharp intakes of air and says through her huge bite and the tears “It’s Delicious.”

YOU’RE CRYING OVER A SANDWICH?!

I knew at this moment she wasn’t upset or sad or anything, she was just dealing with a HUGE influx of hormones now that she had been relieved of incubation duties for our son. I tried my best not to laugh, but that didn’t last long, so I excused myself and exited my house into the -10F cold to laugh hysterically.

That was quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen firsthand, but now that we’re having twins, these emotional episodes are becoming more frequent and for even weirder reasons.

So, as I have done with the list of things Wifey hates (smells, tastes and things that make her sick to her stomach and want to barf), I will now jot down a short list of things that make Wifey CRY.

Things That Make Wifey CRY: Vol. I

1. Sappy commercials
2. Magazine articles with a happy ending
3. So You Think You Can Dance
4. Big Brother 11
5. The Bachelorette
6. Putting our son to bed
7. Picking our son up from day care
8. Getting hugs and kisses from our son
9. Not vomiting in the morning -
   (but as soon as she notices she hasn’t vomited, she has to vomit: I relate it to getting a car wash to make it rain)
10. Vomiting in the morning
11. Day time television
12. Her job
13. Vomiting while at her job

I can assure you this list will grow.

For now I will remain patient as I have read in the many, many, many books I am currently in the process of reading that this uncontrollable surge of feelings, emotions and AAAAHHHH is affecting the neurotransmitters of the brain more now than any other time during the pregnancy (we’re right at the climax of the last half of the first trimester).
