Out of commission

Sorry, I couldn't post yesterday. I was feeling pretty awful. I think that I might have had my first migraine, which I hear can happen during pregnancy. It was awful. I was pretty much out of commission all day. I was lucky though, my sister-in-law came and helped me in the morning and Bob was able to come home and help in the evening. Not sure what I would have done without their help.

I had a throbbing headache that made me feel incredibly nauseous all day. I slept off and on all day because it was the only way to relieve the pain. Being pregnant, I could only take Tylenol and that did nothing. 

From what I understand the primary culprit of headaches during pregnancy are hormonal changes. Since I have been a raging lunatic lately, I am pretty sure that my hormones are all over the place. 

The second trimester is suppose to be euphoric. You are suppose to be the happiest, glowing pregnant lady anyone has seen and this second trimester for me has been nothing but a pain. It is making me very nervous for what my third trimester will be like.

  1. Poor thing! Headaches, and especially migraines, are the worst thing! Glad it only lasted 1 day for ya though. And if you get all these crazy symptoms out of the way in the 2nd trimester, then I say your 3rd will be a piece of cake :)

  2. Oh, btw, considering your need for organization and planning (which I share!), I'm surprised you haven't posted anything in regards to Calan's first birthday party yet! I've been doing some research myself lately and there are some SUPER cute ideas out there!! It's not too early...and it will give you something else to focus your energy on!

  3. Thanks Brandi. Oh, I have been thinking about his first birthday for awhile now, but probably won't officially start to do anything till the end of next month.
