Migraines: An Encounter

Yesterday I woke up after a very rough night of sleep. Hubby slept with us in the bed and his snoring combined with crazy temperature fluctuations kept me waking up several times a night. I had a headache when I woke up and a little dizziness, but it passed for the most part and I took the boy to church.

After church and shopping, I started to feel really awful and laid down on the couch. My head got this intense ache and I started shivering from head to toe. I could barely move, light felt like daggers in my brain, and I ended up with a fever of 102.7 at its peak. I was terrified I had something that was serious and could be passed on to the baby. My husband said it was a migraine.

I've only experienced a migraine once before and it wasn't like this, but I trusted that I'd wake in the morning. Sure enough, woke with no chills, no fever, and mild head pain. Kinda crazy.

I just hope to goodness I don't continue to get these things.

On another note, hubby and I are meeting with the pastor of my church to discuss theology and what a christening might entail. I've been feeling family pressure to have one done but I need to make sure it's a right fit for how we're going to raise the boy.
