Pregnancies and Periods

1. Did housework.
2. Finished off the purple fuzzy dress for Smiles. Complete with white roses.
3. Folded laundry and put it away. (This is a major accomplishment for me somedays)
4. I napped.
5. I made lunch and allowed Smiles to go over to the neighbours house to play:)

Unfortunately I missed the Mother's Day Tea at Bear's school today due to being sick. Which is why I napped. Alas I really dislike disappointing my Bear. You see I woke up this morning feeling like I was going to throw up and very faint with a headache. I will admit I had a bad bout of insomnia last night and this probably contributed to my illness this morning. I wasn't too concerned about it till I remembered that yesterday morning I did actually throw up. I had choked on some orange juice on way out the door and had to use the toilet first. I didn't think anything of it until this morning when I had those horrible symptoms. Yuck!

One thing I have realized that is these things tend to happen around my period. I may not bleed because I am pregnant but I still get the cramps, the bitchiness and now the smells and insomnia. Ugh! It's only taken me three pregnancies to realize how badly my body reacts to my periods. The cramps are bad enough, but a simple
Tylenol will help with them for me. The bitchiness, well let's just say I feel sorry for Hubby because he tends to get the brunt of it. I don't mean that in a good way. The smells I am referring to are the ones that my body excretes instead of releasing my monthly blood. The smells are the reasons why I tend to take more baths when I am pregnant. Then I am finally figuring out that the insomnia is a big part of my monthly cycle as well. I am already stressed out and so my brain takes the horrible things my mind thinks of and won't let go. It then elaborates on these horrible things and hence the insomnia. Yuck! So pregnancy sucks. The only thing I can say that is positive for me is at least I am not throwing up constantly or confined to bed rest. Yet!

I hope that doesn't happen. I am thinking I will try to go swimming before going to Raven's tonight since last night was a no-show. The trim she wanted to show me will merely have to wait till I am over there. Sigh! I might have been able to go sew at Raven's except that Hubby and Other decided to have coffee before coming home. Which meant by the time they got home it was too late for me to head out. Oh well. At least the washing machine is now fixed for Other's Mom. That's the main thing. Really. See how Hubby gets the brunt of my bitchiness even in my blog.
