How I've been feeling (update)
I spent most of the past week with a headache of varying intesity. Nausea/vomitng was intermittent, but the headache was pretty steady. Friday night, I even ended up napping from about 8pm-10pm, getting up for a quick dinner, then going back to bed until 11am. My head was killing me. :(
For most of my pregnancy so far, I've had very few headaches or sinus/allergy problems, which was a blessing despite the nausea. It looked like that was ending. :(
Yesterday, however, was great! I woke with a mild headache that some Tylenol cleared up before it could get any worse. Despite the fact that Dale was leaving town that day, I was in a good mood and felt the best ever since my operation. I was headache and nausea free all day. Late in the evening I started to feel a little congested in my head, but it wasn't a big deal. I ended up staying awake until about 3:45am, first waiting for Dale to call before he went to bed in California, then just reading my book a little more.
This morning afternoon I woke up with a mild headache again. It wasn't too bad though. And I was hungry so I fixed myself two fajitas from Friday's leftovers. Some mild nausea started up before I ate, but it passed quickly. I took some Tylenol again and that's mostly wiped out the headache.
However, for the past 30 minutes or so, my sinuses have been swelling shut. I don't know if it's allergies or a summer cold, but BAH!! It's getting hard to breathe, but I can't even take anything for it yet since it's only been a couple of hours since I took the Tylenol.
I hope the whole pregnancy doesn't end up being a trade-off. What will it be today? Nausea/vomitting? Bad headache? Or sinuses swollen shut?
If I do have to pick, I'll take the sinuses though. At least I can function despite that.
