My.head.hurts.so.bad.

Before I was pregnant, I could count the number of headaches I ever got in my whole life on one hand.
Now, they're so common and hurt so and it sucks because I can't/don't want to/shouldn't take anything for them. I've been alternating between hot and cold washcloths on my head, I'm staying hydrated, but nothing seems to be working.

And then it makes me cry, which triggers me thinking about other things that will make me cry, and then I'm just a crying mess with a headache. It's not fun. I turn into my usual PMS self, where I find random things to cry about like "I miss Missy!!!!" and "I don't have ANY shirts!!" I'm so lucky to have Sarah by my side during times like these to just hold me and validate my feelings and not make me feel like a whacko. I'm so excited to have her back from her nerd conference today. I've missed her

On the positive side, I have definitely started to feel those flutterings everyone has been talking about. It's hard to explain, they aren't like period cramps, kind of like being hungry, and sorta like butterflies when you're nervous.

I've also noticed that I will be STARVING, like so hungry I want to cry (again, with the crying) and then I eat half a salad or tiny bowl of soup and I'm stuffed like I've just eaten a whole pizza. Weird stuff.

I gave Molly the list of people to invite to the gender reveal party. Our next doctor appointment is scheduled for the 27th, where the doctor will be able to see if we're having a boy or girl. and the doctor will tell Molly. She is putting together the gender reveal party and we're having it on January 5th. I hope our little avocado participates and shows us the goods!

I'm still super sure it's a boy, and almost ... (surprise) cried at Kohl's the other day looking at all of the cute boy clothes! I want my baby now!

As of right now, we are going with Dawson Emery for a boy, and Charlotte Rae if it's a girl. :)

We'll update again soon
