Is It Just Me?
Or has having children made you hyper-emotional? I definitely noticed a difference during pregnancy, but I figured that with all of the hormone drama involved, becoming weepy or irrational was to be expected.

I cry over movies a lot more than I used to, since I had kids.

happy belated.
I am EXACTLY the same way now! I get all weepy over commercials on TV too. I'm a hormonal wreck and my youngest is 20 months. I've been told it'll be this way for a loooooong time!
