OUCH!!!...And Other Things That Are Happening

I have the headache that just won't quit. It feels like someone is actually inside my head, and maybe even my ears, and just SQUEEZING the hell out of my brain. Just..AHHHH..Right in there. Painful. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers to take when I need for them, because they started happening almost a week after the test turned positive, and are still coming on. The muscle relaxers make me nervous though, and so far I've only taken two. The farther I get, the worse they get. He said it's probably because the weight from my stomach is putting pressure on my back, which is putting strain on my shoulders, which is straining my neck, which is making me want to poke myself in the eyes with needles so I can ignore my brain. I've been reading The Scarlet Letter this week, and I'm determined to finish it before the new books I ordered come into the library, but even just reading is killing me. All I want to do is lay in my room in the dark and keep my eyes closed, because then my head doesn't hurt. I've been sleeping OK, aside from the peeing every few hours and those awesome leg cramps that jolt you awake and make you want to punch your sleeping partner. Other than that though, sleeping well. I'm extremely happy this is the home stretch. I'm hoping that once this little bundle comes, the headaches will stop and I can just be one tired, sore and engorged mommy.

Oh, by the way, super excited about tomorrow..(sarcasm)..Claire and I will be taking a little trek in town (two blocks away..ha!) to drop off David's car and walk back home. David's car is finally getting new tires. We figured we'd better go ahead and take care of it now since my MIL will be here in 3 weeks. We're also getting new windsheild wipers and oil changes for both cars. My car needs the oil change and windsheild wipers more than his, but why not get it all done at the same time. I also need to get both cars cleaned out, vacuumed and wiped down. It's amazing what kids accumulate in the backseat of cars. There are toys, hats, old snacks and I think maybe even a shirt in David's car. Don't ask me how the clothes migrated to the car..I'm not sure of that myself. If it got there on it's own, I'm going to be pretty impressed. Claire's carseat has a pretty good collection of snack crumbs as well. I'm pretty sure if a wild animal wanted to move into the car, they'd be set for sometime. There's some half full water bottles lying on the floors that they could chew into for liquid sustinance. I can't wait to get the cars cleaned out. They really need it.
