Ohhh wow, I remember crying so hard at stupid Hallmark commercials.Everything makes me cry right now. Seriously.. Commercials.
My husband just looks at me.
Ohhh wow, I remember crying so hard at stupid Hallmark commercials.
And I'm talking gut-wrenching sobbing, it was insane!!!
That must be hard. I'm naturally a crier, but I HATE to cry in public.

DH can tell when I'm about to cry, I always thought it was really weird; he would hand me a tissue, and I'd say, "What's this for?" then BOOM! Waterworks!
He finally admitted that when I'm upset I get this little dimple in my chin, then my chin will wobble a bit. As I realize I'm about to cry and try to hold it back, my chin and lip start to quiver.
I usually just start sniffling.
The dimple comes waaaaay before the sniffling.
Thsi woman just had her babies.. 35 weeks, and both were WELL over 7 and a half pounds!! Yowzers! That is a whole lotta baby!
Did she have GD? I had GD with DS8, and when we delivered at 37.5 weeks, he was 8 lbs. 3 oz. and very chubby. I had done very well at keeping the GD under control with diet, but in the last few weeks of the pregnancy I got Bell's Palsy. We treated it with a steroid (the doc said it wouldn't harm the baby at that point), and the meds made my blood sugars skyrocket!

I worried about that, too, but she said it was better NOT to go on insulin, and in the last few weeks of the pregnancy, the worst it would do would make the baby chub up. And it did. He was only 19" long, and had the fattest little cheeks.

It takes a bit more effort for the body to circulate the blood. 
and figure out what we're gonna have for dinner!
but that doesn't really count considering... hmm, hubby gets "hot and dizzy" when his blood pressure bottoms out. The standing up fast and then feeling dizzy is a sign that it may be a blood pressure issue (Orthostatic hypotension). Which is very normal in any pregnancy, think about it.. you have this larger need for blood/fuids to move around your body to support the growing fetus(es) and the placenta and everything else is umm growing as well.
Orthostatic hypotension sounds scary.. but basically it's stand up and your blood pressure goes down.
Do you legs get heavy/ achy with standing? You may have varicose veins, sluggish blood flow in the veins of the leg nad causes "pooling" (and umm that is basically what hemmorhoids are.. varicose veins of your butt.)
that all makes total sense. 
I had N on his due date 8 pounds 9 oz.
J was two weeks overdue and he was 7 lb 12 oz
I was a bigger baby, which I've read makes it more likley that your children will be larger.
My sis had scrawny kids under 7 pounds with the full termers. And of course the lil peanut
It's a lot to take in and keep track of. 
But of course to have him admit that and do the tests.....
My sis had blood pressure issues at the end of pregnancy for full term boys.
We should start betting on how many pounds, week of delivery, etc..
I have this fear of going early.. but Ill bet I got to term, and then they have to induce me.
Pregnancy Fog.. to be replaced with Sleep Deprived Newborn(s) at Home Fog.
