Spoke too soon

I have a habit of doing that...speaking too soon. Apparently, the little one read my post the other day and decided to crank up the pregnancy symptoms, just to say...."hey Mom, I'm still here, don't worry."

Yesterday, the symptoms came back in full force. Nausea in the morning (my kinda light nausea, not really naucious), frequent peeing all day (and I mean at least once every half hour, how irratating), super thirsty always (which didn't helpt the frequent peeing), and those headaches! Bleh, I do not like the headaches. I haven't had them often, but I had them yesterday afternoon and evening and it hurt. I was trying to troop it yesterday because I was at a party with the DH and had big plans to meet up with some of my girlfriends at a bar to watch a band play afterwards. But as the night progressed, my body got more and more exhausted and the headaches were not helping. Eventually, it got to the point where my body kinda wanted to shut down and it hurt to even smile and talk. I thought, there's no way I'm going to make it to meet up with my girlfriends after this party. So, I flaked out and pooped out and went home. DH was disappointed because he was looking forward to staying out (he had had a few beers at the party and was feeling good, but he's a team player and understood). This is the first time I've ever tried pulling a full night of hanging out and going out (usually, I'm at home with the hubsters), and this is the first time my body said, "uh-uh, no ways, you're going home to sleep." It was a little daunting (I'm liking that phrase recently, huh?) I thought, wow, if I'm this tired with the baby in my belly, imagine how tired I'm going to be when he or she comes out? Yikes!

Got another full day ahead today - wedding & reception! But I love those things, so I'm hoping the body will cooperate today. lol.

  1. I get headaches, too! They suck. Caffeine is the only thing that helps me -- I know, I'm a horrible mother! ;) Glad you listened to your body and went home to bed. I guess it's an introduction to life as a mommy!

  3. Sorry the symptoms have got you down!!! It gets better!!! Really!! But not the headaches. Mine just started appearing regularly. It's really bad when you can't take anything but Tylenol. And it really doesn't work!
