eating my words

i realize in my last post i said "i'll take headaches and occasional nausea over true morning sickness any day"......i take it back. i don't want ANY of it! i've lost count, really, but i think i've had at least 1 headache per day for the past 2 weeks (or more...again, i've lost count). every stinkin night i come home, take tylenol, and count every 3 1/2 - 4 hours when i can take more to knock me out for bedtime. has anyone else dealt with this? i'm serious. this is an EVERY DAY occurance! and i know all you people who are struggling to keep food down are wanting me to shut up and be happy that i'm not puking my guts out everyday, but really, i think it's all bad. i don't like any of these symptoms. i just wanna be fat & happy in my 2nd trimester!

this symptom is putting a huge damper on my personal life. Tri-2 is supposed to be the time when i get back to normal life and feeling 100% again...this is when i was supposed to get back into my running routine because my fatigue would finally be gone. instead, i'm finding myselft glued to the couch or in my bed non-stop because these headaches are killers. i have yet to make it to one of our small group meetings because the medicine doesn't really even help. thank goodness i have my 16 week appt on thursday. i'm gonna ask her about this one because i really don't like it!

in other news, drew made it to chicago this weekend with only minor delays. he & his friend tim made it to west lafayette, indiana for the oregon/purdue game with 45 minutes to spare. at first i was disappointed that i didnt get to go...but since i had a headache all weekend anyway, i probably would've been a party pooper. so, i'm really happy he got to go...and it was an incredible game! i won't bore you with the details, but trust me, it was a great game...and probably even better if you were AT the game.

other than that, i had a pretty uneventful weekend. i was able to vacuum my house saturday morning, but that's when life came to a halt and i started counting every 4 hours to take meds. and that pretty much carried through sunday. love it. ok, i'm done complaining.....for now. keep me in your prayers for my appt on thursday and for my headaches!
