16 weeks and a Migraine

Let's start on Friday:

Jordan and I had Mallie with us on a Friday night. So we all went and ate sushi (Mallie had Chick-fil-A) and then the hubs actually took me shopping! Whoa I know!

He loves loathes  hates shopping.

At the restaurant, Mallie was admiring her stick on earrings.

Out shopping at Kohls afterwards. Sweet cheeks is loving all the attention.

Saturday:

I went to the mall by myself, (not a good thing) and since I was by myself I didn't buy anything....

Yes you read that right, well....ok.......  I bought candy. After 3 hours of shopping with money my hubby gladly gave me I only came home with candy and the start of headache.... or so I thought.

I took Tylenol and all it did was dull it slightly.

I went to sleep and woke up and thought I was dying.

Sunday:

As I tried to eat cereal I starting crying in pain from chewing. I took another Tylenol and it dulled it again.

My dad and step-mom were coming up yesterday so I was just praying for it go away otherwise it was going to be an ugly day. Well we went to church and Jordan told Pastor Troy what was going on and then Pastor Troy and anyone who was there prayed over me. I immediately started feeling better.

Thank you Jesus! After a nap I had a migraine hangover, then by 7:00pm (after dinner)

I was finally migraine free, Yay!!!

Monday:
