Well, I had my 2nd pregnancy migraine yesterday – no fun. It lasted a full 24 hours – from Sunday evening until yesterday evening. I had to stay home yesterday; all I could do was lie flat with a cold compress on my head. If I tried to do anything else, my head pounded like crazy. And it didn’t help that we had 3 thunderstorms during the day so every crash of thunder and every car that drove by on the wet roads were torture! It was a difficult day for sure and Tylenol did nothing. But, luckily, it only lasted 24 hours and I am feeling MUCH better today. I hope I don’t have any more of those! Although, if I’ve already had 2 in the 3.5 months I’ve been pregnant, chances are there are more to come. I will definitely talk to my midwife about it at my next appointment to see if there is anything I can do. I felt bad about missing work, but that’s only the 2nd day I’ve called in sick since I became pregnant, so that’s not too bad. And there is no way I would have been able to function at the office, so it was for the best.
The Oma drama has continued. She found a car key somewhere and went out driving even though she technically doesn’t have a license. She did pass her MTO test, but never went to the office to get her license renewed. Her appointment with the gerontologist is next Tuesday, so we are anxious to hear what she has to say. It’s getting worse by the week. Now Oma is at the stage where she is lashing out at mom accusing mom of making this whole thing up and being against her. She’s saying mom has been telling lies to everyone and turning everyone against her. Nobody is against her! She’s saying things like “I can’t believe this is how you treat an old woman, especially your mother… after everything I’ve done for you!” And anytime my dad tries to stick up for my mom, Oma just yells at him to stay out of it. Oma insists that someone else needs to come to the appointment on the 19th so that there is a “witness” as to what the doctor says because Oma no longer trusts my mom. My mom already told my uncle that he needs to be there as well anyways since she can’t handle this on her own. What a mess. I wouldn’t be surprised if Oma has Alzheimers since it seems like that’s what this is. But, we’ll wait and see what the doctor says. My poor mom!
I’m at 15 weeks now – wow! I have been taking weekly pictures of how my body has been changing, so I will post a couple of those when I get a chance, likely on the weekend.
Oh, and our ultrasound is booked – September 16th at 9:10am! Yay!

My sister-in-law had horrible migraines with both her pregnancies (she's prone to them even when not pregnant). I hope you don't have too many (if any) more... poor C-dub! Glad this one only lasted as short as it did.
