Mr Migraine please go away

I must say today has sucked, I spend a pretty good friday night with Scarlett and saturday was fairly ok too but sunday came and a major migraine has plagued me all day non stop. I think this has been the worse one by far, even more so than with Scarlett. I cannot recall them being this bad with her, and maybe that's because at least I had days without any headaches at all which is not what I can said for this pregnancy. I need relief and I hoped for sleep but that is something that wont happen. I've been reading different things and seen how some doctors recommend tylenol PM for the lack of sleep and headaches, may have to check into that because its becoming unbearable. That is all for now, hoping for a good night sleep!

Happy Baby

Well the past few weeks have been weird. I started feeling great for about two days in which then I thought to myself it was too good to be true. And I was right, I felt worse and there was nothing I could do about it. I still getting nauseous, but not as much as I was before. It actually seems more violent rather than frequent when I do get sick. The one thing that still hasn't gone away are the headaches. They are getting stronger and stronger. I did go to my appt on Monday and listed to the baby's heartbeat again. It sounded great! I also met the other two midwives and they spend a lot of time with me getting to know me. I feel I made the right decision with this place. I dont think I could deal with the revolving door that is the OB/GYN and the hospital for this baby. I want a nice calm birth, without rushing and without a million people I've never met before coming into my room. I told them about the headaches and they basically said it may be a "sitting in front of the computer" issue. I want to agree but why doesn't it go away when I'm at home, or asleep, or driving or on the weekends. It just seems like the hormones are out to kill me. Today I got so nauseous while driving I thought i had to pull over. I didn't sleep last night AGAIN! I was thinking how I can't wait to get this pregnancy over with but then again another adventure starts. I really want to be comfortable and not be in pain anymore. Next up is heartburn and no longer sleeping on my stomach. I dreaded sleeping propped up with Scarlett b/c I would always fall over. Lets hope this isn't another 8 pounder :-)

Baby things

So yesterday I went to my initial visit at the birth center. It is such a welcoming place. I am a bit scared about the no pain killers during birth but I figured if I can punch Chris several time during it that should make me feel better. The head midwife and owner talked to me for about 45 mins, she got to know me and my history and even though I've had two miscarriages, she still said I had a very "boring" history and that was a good thing. I got to hear the baby for the first time, sounded so cute and super fast. I think "she" is going to be once crazy one. I hope its a girl. My mom thinks its so weird that I'm doing this "cavewoman" birth experience. But I'm sure I'll win her over eventually. I'm excited this is going to be completely different than Scarlett. I like the surprise factor of it, plus it will also keep people from buying unnecessary things as gifts, I hope! I get to go back in two weeks to get my lab results. Other than that, everything seems as good as it can for an early appt.

Weekend...

Well friday I prayed I would feel fairly ok to enjoy a night at the Magic game with Scarlett, Chris and two friends. I went pretty good, probaby better than what I expected. Saturday was spend here at home for part of the morning basically doing nothing, I did try to take a nap since Scarlett woke up at 9 and that doesn't work when I went to bed at 1am the night before b/c of the game. We went to lunch at panera and spent the night at my parents house and had dinner. Which overall made saturday kind of ok. Today, sunday, is going to be a day of cleaning but I woke up with a sore throat and overall feeling like crap. I've been having cramps lately which I hope are normal cramp/growing uterus pains. Cramps always bring me back to the first two pregnancies which is not good for me. Lets hope today is a good day and I get lots done. My main goals are laundry, bathroom, master and shaving the dogs! they are shedding like animals.

Another day....

Today was not really ok. I seem to wake up ok and as the day progresses I just feel worse and worse. Night time has beed really bad with the nausea and the headaches. On the brightside, Scarlett has been adjusting so well at school. She's amazing me more everyday with how well she's doing. Other than that, tonight I've actually have been feeling pretty bad. I'm still eating at 915pm which is so late for me but I have to eat slow :-( Yoki just farted and continued on as if nothing happened. joy! lol I think that is all for today, aside from the fact that yoki will choke on his rawhide soon UGH

Blah

Last night I must've eaten something bad but I was up all night sick. Which then made me not go into work b/c there was no way I could function on 3 hours of sleep! I took Scarlett to school and she did great. She walked away with no issues or crying, I hope this happens again at least once ;-). That was probably the only good thing that came from today, I have been feeling more and more nauseous as time goes by and the fact that I have a needy child does not help the cause. Hopefully tonight I will get everything done early enough which will not happen and I will again get no sleep. Oh the joys!
