All throughout this pregnancy I’ve been pretty calm and laid back. In fact, despite what many people think about pregnant women getting all emotional, I wasn’t one of those women. Yes, I’ve read postings from pregnant women about wanting to go ballistic at work or while they were out shopping or even during driving. I sort of laughed at those because I am not one of those women.
Today is one of those days where I could go upstairs and strangle the person that lives above me. Upstairs lives a couple with two kids in a two bedroom apartment and one of those kids is around two years old. All day I hear things being dropped, running around, sometimes faint crying and other noises. For the most part they don’t bother me at all because they are random. But today was different. It sounded like someone was bouncing up and down on one spot in the living room making this annoying creaking noise. The noise went on for awhile and even when I tried to drown it out by making the television louder, it didn’t stop. I am not kidding when I told the hubby that I wanted to buy one of those plastic balls and bounce it on the ceiling. I can handle the walking and the dropping of things but a freaking creaking noise going on for what seems like forever is just too much. At least I can go into the bedroom or our office to get away from it. Okay, girl, calm down… deep breaths…
It’s the hormones, they give you bionic ears. That’s my guess.
