Jake turns 30 this month!!! This morning I surprised him with a funny little "exploding box" filled with tootsie rolls and little notes and pictures. In it I promised to fill his birthday month with 30 gifts for 30 years. I hope I can also give him the BEST BONUS GIFT EVER! Two more days 'til we know!
Again, I am too lazy to pull out the good camera, so please excuse these grainy photos.
Today was my first day back at work, and I did my best to take it as easy as possible. The kids were being reasonably good for it being the first day back, and I tried really hard to remain calm and serene all day, even when they were being annoying.
Last night I had a very slight headache before bed, but I figured it would go away and did not take anything. It woke me up at 3:30 a.m. approaching full-on migraine status. I haven't had a headache like that in forever. So I reluctantly took some tylenol and went back to bed. It was still with me when I woke up at 6 and stuck around ALL DAY. I took some tylenol again around mid-morning but was afraid to take any more after that. I somehow made it through the day.
Around lunchtime, when I went to use the restroom, I noticed some (very) minor spotting. I know it's probably normal but it still scared me a little bit. I would have expected it more around the time of implantation, not now. Shortly after lunch I started feeling a little run down, probably my mind just messing with me. But by the end of the day I was not realy feeling that great... I had a very mild but constant weird kind of dull ache feeling in my whole lower abdomen region. Sort of like the mildest cramp I've ever felt in my whole life, but all over, and it stayed for a few hours. It was kind of uncomfortable when walking, because me being hypersensitive to every little feeling, it felt kind of heavy or like a light pressure or something, and like it was sloshing around when I walked. Very weird. I did spot just a little bit more throughout the afternoon.
I was out of work by 3:00 and headed straight home to lie down. That made me feel a million times better. I got up a few times to do something and the weird feeling immediately returned. And then as soon as I laid back down I felt better again. So I spent most of the afternoon/evening on the couch. We did not even decorate our tree, boo. Good news is the spotting went away. Hopefully I'll be feeling much better tomorrow.
I am again super ravenous and ate pretty much non stop from the time I got home until bed. I am actually stuffing my face with Chex right now as I type this in bed. No shame. I can still feel my headache but I'm afraid to take medicine again, because what if that's what caused my spotting? I guess I'll just have to suffer. :(
Ok, all for now. I need to catch up on my sleep to make up for last night's lack of it!
