Pregnancy Hormones suck!!

I really don't remember it being this bad when I was pregnant with DS, but maybe that's because I was emotional and moody already so the increase didn't catch me off guard. But, for the past week, I have just been incredibly emotional and, at times, for no real reason. It's almost like I'm on the brink of depression where I don't want to do anything but stay home and curl up in a blanket and be alone. The most innate things put me in tears and it's hard to stop them. For instance, this morning while I was sitting with my DH at breakfast before going in to our respective offices, we were talking about the origins of coffee cultivation and invasive vs. native species (that's what you get being a scientist married to a geographer/planner, both with extensive environmental backgrounds) and I just started welling up in tears. Not a moving conversation at all, obviously. He asked what was wrong and I have no idea why it happened. The past few days, I've had a lot of insecurities and have had a resurgence of emotions from things that have happened in the past that I had worked through come up again, so I've been dealing with re-working the letting go process (too much drama). I've also been overreacting to certain things, too, and I know it when I do it, but I can't stop it from happening.
Long story short, I'm having a hard time with pregnancy hormone emotional basketcase-itis. Anyone else?

That
Have you check how much hormones it is in the food you are eating?
I have zero problem with
I wonder if maybe it is because DH started his next semester in his grad program at the university and he has a lot of reading to accomplish each week, so I have gotten into the routine of letting him go do distraction free reading. The lack of quality time together might be bothering me. Who knows. I will check on the hormones in my food, too. Great idea, thanks for the tip.

As far a meat farmers using it....I have no clue.
We raise our own.
Im dealing with not crying..but irritability again. Kids whistling and slurping cereal right now makes me irritated. That's my hormones for you.
