We all know about morning sickness. You feel like crap when you wake up... it may last throughout the day. It's no fun.
What they don't tell you about is the headaches that acompany the sickness. I don't know if my headaches are from the hormones, the lights here at work, my computer screens, lack of water, or a nasty combo of them all. When I asked the doctor what I could do about them, she said Tylenol is the only pain releiver I can use. Well, let me tell ya, Tylenol is worthless. I took 2 around 10am and my headache has shown no sign of mercy... it may have, in fact, gotten worse. Not to mention the dizzy spells and lightheaded-ness that come too.
I'm so thankful that the constant nausia is gone. That is a HUGE blessing, but these ehadaches have got to go too. I can barely function at work or at home. I do the best I can both places but it's hard to keep up the pace that I kept pre-pregnancy. I know that I have an excuse, but if you know me at all, I'm not one for slacking with or without an excuse.
I just don't know what to do about these headaches.

It's almost over... keep your chin up kiddo. And remember... at the end of all this...You'll have a cute (gorgeous) little buddle of joy that once they turn teenager...they'll cause the same symptoms... headaches, nausia, and utter exhaustion... so think of this as mommy-bootcamp... Love you and praying for you.
Wow... thanks? LOL!
I'll get through it, it's just really hard. I know that there are plenty of other women that have it worse off than me, but whatever :)
I broke down and am having a Dr. Pepper which seems to be helping the headache a bit. Plus, seeing as I almost fell asleep at my desk (Justin and Andrew ignore that), the extra caffiene boost can't hurt too bad... right?
