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. -.-

It's been a while, we're back for now...

Since last time I've posted on this blog, a lot has happened. A lot of stress more like it - some of it was good, some of it was bad. There was a lot of growing for both, baby, daddy and me - and I think we're growing well. My hormones are driving me wild with emotions - whether they're driving me up the wall or down for a 12 hour nap - that's a different story.

All that said - I must warn future and current expecting mothers - stay away from stress like you would from the plague.
Do whatever you got to do - self hypnosis, reading, crocheting, throwing knives at moving targets - doesn't matter. Just Don't Stress out. It's incredibly unhealthy for you and your kitten.

I found out about a month ago that my little baby has what's called gastroschisis. This possibly could be one of the reasons why my migraines are one in a million right now - and have been for a long while, or it's quite possible medication that I was taking prior to getting pregnant was a cause for this condition as well.

After many sleepless nights and stressing and worrying about it like there's no tomorrow - I finally gave up on stress and started accumulating all the info that could possibly be gotten on the subject. Namely from the doctors, nurses, more doctors, online articles etc.

All the medical staff has a healthy outlook on this - and promises to take the best of care of the little one once he comes out. I have to deal with the fact that I won't be bringing baby home like most moms - but that should be alright.
I saw the fear in the eyes of the mom that was in that NIC unit. It's as if I saw mirror image of myself in those eyes. Freaky. But gave me hope. Because besides fear I saw hope. And that's what both my husband and I are doing is hoping for the best.

Migraines have been plaguing me. Noticed more stress more migraines - so my hubby and I try to work on our communication skills more and do something little every sunday to relax. Perhaps in time we'll both grow up to be just as supportive of each other as we should be in an equal partnership that is called marriage.

Anywhos, I'm rambling, a horrible defect from fatigue - and am going to sleep. As soon as I break up those two pups out in the kitchen. lol
