Is
this in my head?? Am I really this stressed out right now?
I woke with ANOTHER headache and we even went to the
chiropractor yesterday. Did I mention that Jackson LOVES going? He hops right
on the table and says, “POP!” after each adjustment with the CUTEST SMILE. When
we get home from daycare or on weekends, he makes us get on the floor and
adjusts us. It’s way too cute. He did this over Christmas in Kansas too. So
funny. Usually he jumps on me and walks on my back…then starts laughing. ALL
BOY.
I bought a $5 bottle of essential oils from our chiropractor
and am addicted. I have no idea what’s in it (coming soon), but I told the
chiropractor that I thought I was fighting off something. She said to spray it
on my lymph nodes around my neck. I have been and so far, so good!! I even
squirted Karl with it. He thinks it smells weird. I think I was told I could
even squirt it in my mouth on throat. I need directions!!
Is it weird that it might have helped me sleep better too? I
sprayed it on my pillow. Slept GREAT until someone
stole the covers. Won’t mention any names…

Anyway, I was hungry when I woke up and decided to have two
eggs and heat up one of Karl’s super healthy pancakes, topped with flaxseed.
This particular pancake has bananas and oats and blueberries in it. NO sugar.
For some reason I could barely eat it. The smell. Eww.
Uh oh.
Then Karl came down and toasted two slices of bread he made
from our bread maker (it’s REALLY good) and the smell of that got to me. I felt
my stomach rise. Could this ALREADY be happening!?!? I didn’t mention anything
to him because I’m thinking he’ll say, “It’s anxiety, babe!”
Could be.
I’m scared this is already a sign that there will be two
pink lines next week. With Jackson, I was feeling off for three solid weeks –not
until weeks 6 through 9. I never threw up, but there were times I was close and
getting out of bed for work was HARD. I think that first trimester was hit or
miss after those three weeks. I’d feel really good but then maybe a day I
wouldn't feel the greatest. If this is a sign of what’s coming… and THIS EARLY…
Oh dear. ESPECIALLY after yesterday’s work meeting. I will have a LOT on my
plate in 2014. A LOT. I’m super excited about all the projects but feeling a
titch overwhelmed. Thinking positive here though. I always get everything done!
I’m going to be learning a lot. My resume is going to grow a bunch. Can you
tell I’m super pumped about this? I like making myself invaluable. I’m also officially
down to four days a week. I’m SO grateful my work is willing to let me do this
as a manager. I feel like I WANT to do the best I can for the company and
really make a difference in the company. I love feeling this way. Motivated.
Driven. Challenged. Excited.
Just wanted to share some thoughts and how I’m feeling. I’m trying
to get coffee down and that’s been hard too. I don’t want to jinx anything, but
I guess I’ll be surprised if I’m not cooking a bun in the oven right now.
Did you feel ill early on in your pregnancy?
