Headaches

This has been a really long week and a half for me. Since a week ago Sunday, I have had a headache pretty much every day, especially bad during the evenings. Tylenol hasn't really been helping me much, but since I'm nursing Ella, I was afraid to take anything else. I finally got into the doctor today and she said it's probably a tension headache and that it should be safe for me to take some ibuprofen and to relax and rest. She said it could be hormone induced and told me the terrible news that my cycles might be trying to start back up! Noooooo!! :) I guess I should just count my blessings and be happy for the last 12 months I've been able to enjoy menses-free - along with the 18 months not long before that . :) All that said, I hope this headache goes away soon. I'm not one to take medicines unless it's really necessary, but it's been difficult to handle the screaming kids without it, so I've had to give in. I'm ready for it to be gone for good now. (And I'm sure the hubby and kids are ready too!)

Oh yeah! And I finally got my hair cut for the first time since Owen was 4 weeks old! :) I love it! I also got this cute and entertaining book for my birthday about motherhood. I'll be sharing some quotes on here. It's very funny. Here's a sneak peek with more to come:
