Well, I had an ok week. I had headaches almost every night though. They seemed to radiate out of my shoulders and up through my neck into my head. I do have some neck and shoulder tension that I usually have, but not that causes headaches that often. I think it is somehow related to the pregnancy. I told my chiropractor about my headaches at my visit yesterday. He agreed with me that I don't necessarily have any more tension in my shoulders than usual. He said that he thinks it could be hormone related. I got another headache last night and instead of sitting up in my recliner like I usually do, I laid down on the couch. That seemed to really help. I told Tony that I think I may just need to lie down more often in the evenings.

I had an uneventful week at work. My caseload is low so I'm just doing the little detail things that I usually don't have time to get to. The kids were out for spring break this week, so I should have started my visits, but I decided not to.

Tony and I still haven't decided what exactly we are going to do on vacation. We both got approved for our days off. I am leaning toward going to Nashville and/or Chattanooga. Tony also mentioned New Orleans, which is a considerably longer drive, but could still be really cool. Neither of us has ever been there. My sister is going to Germany on Tuesday and told me that flights to everywhere are Really cheap right now. I looked around some and there really are some great deals out there. I couldn't believe how cheap it is to get out to California right now! I don't think we will end up flying anywhere though. We were trying to keep this vacation on the cheaper side and when you fly you have to rent a car in addition to everything else. I don't think either of us want to be too active on our vacation either. We want to see some sights but also take it easy. When I go some place far away or that I've never been I always feel the need to try to do Everything. So, it is probably best to stay closer to home (I've also been to Chatanooga and Nashville before).

We have our 20 week doctor's appointment the Friday before our vacation starts. Tony is going to go with me and has already requested the day off. I told him that we can go shopping for baby stuff while we are on vacation too since we will know the baby's sex then! I can't wait to find out.

I went shopping with my mom today. We went to Burlington Coat Factory to look at all their baby stuff. I was amazed at how much they have. It is a bit overwhelming actually. I realize that I really don't know where to start though until I know if it is a boy or girl. We also went to the Motherhood Maternity store. I bought a pair of jeans and a shirt and my mom bought me a shirt. I love all of what we got. I was also hoping to buy a pair of khaki pants, but they only had my size in petite which was a little too short for me. Oh, well. I probably don't really need the khaki pants, but I thought they would have gone nicely with the shirt that mom bought me.

Tony is hanging out with the guys all day today, which means I have the day to do whatever. After shopping though I've pretty much just goofed off online and watched TV all evening. I had planned to organize my filing because it is beyond disasterous, but I just don't want to get started on it tonight. It is going to be a big time consuming project because I have let it go for so long. Watching TV sounds like a much better thing to do ;-)

  1. Hi Amber! Sorry about your headaches, thats kind of weird. Maybe you should ask the Dr next time you go. When do you get your ultrasound? I think I got mine at 16 weeks. You are doing great on your blog!
