Pregnancy hormones suck! Plain and simple. Yesterday was Makayla's first competition of the season. I have been slacking as a cheer mom lately and not going in to watch the end of practice like I have in the past. Well, yesterday was the first time I saw the whole routine with stunts and tumbling. WOW. I cannot tell you how far Makayla has come since we started three years ago. She had two round off flip flops and one standing back flip in the routine. Not once did she land on her knees!! She is the oldest on her squad that competes and so she stands out as the tallest. I was soooo proud of her. She and the rest of the team were amazing. So, I am not super familiar with the new moms of the group yet. All but two from the team last year left so all the moms are fairly new. I had tears brewing something fierce watching them compete. Not being comfortable with the new moms and plus trying to explain to my husband why I was crying kept me from full on sobbing. After they competed, EJ took Maggie out to the van to watch a movie and I waited in the stands for Makayla. I saw her and she was so proud of herself for getting her tumbling that I just started sobbing. I blame the pregnancy hormones. I couldn't even talk. I just kept saying how proud I was of her. She of course started crying because she is Miss Sensitive and cries at the drop of a hat and carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. Everyone was concerned for Makayla thinking something must have happened. I tried to explain to people that I was just super emotional and I made Makayla cry. Poor Makayla. But, I have to say that maybe I should be willing to express how proud I am of her more often. She has commented like 298 times how she can't believe I cried because she did so good. I think it is a moment that she will never forget. I know I won't!! Yes, I am crying right now typing this. Pathetic!! Seriously...
Last year, Kate and her class put on a play. I was at the dress rehearsal working on costumes and got to see the whole thing the day before the big show. Anyway, at the end there was this little dance sequence and they were all skipping around stage and the music was playing and i burst into tears. The teacher started crying and the kids thought it was HILARIOUS that they reduced 2 adults to sobbing heaps. I was just so proud of them and realized how much they had grown up and remembered them from their little kindergarten days and it all just got to me. And yes, I am crying right now typing this and NO I'm not pregnant! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSO glad it is not just me!! Thanks for making me feel better! I have cried at some of her other performances when I was not pregnant so it was just nice to have an excuse when the other moms were talking about where they could go for lunch right after!!
