Migraines in the summer.

As we all know - even those of us who prefer to come out only at night and observe the sunlight only when it bounces off the moon, get the wretched summer headaches.

I have figured out for most part - what causes mine besides bright shiny sun however.

Or rather what doesn't cause mine.

I can eat meat, fish, anything with tons of protein and very very little carbs - and sail through the day / night like nobody's business.
I can also consume impressive amounts of vegetables, and different kinds of fruits - as well, with no real bad after effects.

However the second I touch anything related to bakery, or deep fried anything coated in anything like flour or bread or whatnot - and my head goes on strike.

I can attest to that - because it's doing that to me today.

Of course the only reason I eat any sorts of carbs is because being on a diet is not necessarily a smart thing - as far as it goes for pregnant women. Granted we have to watch what we eat - but generally so it doesn't crawl off our plate or that we don't accidentally stab our neighbor in the arm with a fork.

Besides that - we've (and I throw that "we" loosely, counting my sweet husband as well) been suffering from my migraines for the last two days.

In order for me to put it back to normal - I definitely have to do something like quell my indigestion, which has come to haunt me in this second - nearly third trimester.

As far as nerves - I have had those strange cry for no reason moments like so many women talk about. But only twice so far. So I suppose I'm doing well on that end.

Both my husband and I are finding a better way to communicate all the time. So that helps immensely - except those fun times when he or I get oversensitive and crabby. But I suppose that just keeps us on our toes.

Once again - I'm going to try and skimp on the carbs pretty soon and see if smaller meals and tums really do help with heartburn as much as they claim to.

For now I'm tired and need to go rest. Yet again. -.-
