Ooh boy, this weekend you guys. I had my very first migraine ever, and it pretty much lasted for 3 days in a row, soooo. That kind of sucked. A lot. I always thought a migraine was just a really intense headache, but in my case this weekend? I never even got a headache, I just experienced dizziness and a severe sensitivity to light- like, so intense that I couldn’t even open my eyes sometimes. And it came in waves? I don’t know, it was WEIRD and SO not fun. My heart goes out to all of you who suffer from migraines regularly. It’s miserable.
So, despite the misery of that situation, we actually got in a date night on Saturday! Yes, while I was nursing my migraine. I just kept my sunglasses on until after sunset and took it easy, but it was so nice to get out of the house, just me and my man! We toured some model homes in the area we’re looking to buy (exciting!!!), got Starbucks and had a super fancy dinner that was way out of our league, haha. But it was so much fun and so good, we didn’t care. Blackened salmon for me and Kobe beef for Zack- I told you, it was too fancy for us. ;)
It is SO nice to get away just us two- I need to remember how rejuvenating this feeling is! But oh man, I was missing my babies something FIERCE. I couldn’t wait to get home and give them kisses. :)
Sunday was literally the worst day- I just spent all day lying on the couch with a sleep mask on, basically, and wallowing in migraine misery. :/ I asked for advice on Snap and IG, and the general concensus was: Excedrin Migraine, napping in a dark room, peppermint essential oils and coffee (or caffeine!). I tried them all. And now I’m feeling much better! Soooo who knows. I’m just glad it’s OVER.
And now it’s a fresh week and hopefully all of the sickness and yuckiness is GONE from our house and we can have a great, healthy and fun week!!! Let’s all pray that happens!

Katie, I was going to tell you the same thing about the Excedrin Migraine. My son sometimes has the same sort of thing happen. And if he can take the Excedrin before it completely kicks in, he is usually golden then. I think the key is getting ahead of it. He has never actually been diagnosed with migraines but he has basically happen what you described. And they don’t happen very often, at all. So prayerfully, this is a one and done for a LONG time for you. :)
Oh, your poor son. That’s just awful! Thank you- I’m really praying this was a one and done for me, too!!!

I HAVE MAD HEADACHES NOW THAT IM PREGNANT! CRAZY, IVE BEEN PROMPT TO HEADACHES BUT NOW THEY ARE WAY WORSE. LAVANDER AND CUTTING POTATOES TO PUT THEM ON YOUR FOREHEAD HELPS! (BELIEVE IT OR NOT)
Pregnancy can do some crazy things to your body, huh?! I’m so sorry you’ve been getting headaches- NO fun! The potato thing is interesting- will have to remember for if there’s a next time!

I’m so sorry! Those are the worst. I had them during my pregnancy for the first time ever, and they’ve recently been popping back in to say hi. Hopefully you get a migraine-free date night soon!
Aww Chelsea, I’m so sorry!! Pregnancy can do crazy things to you, I know that! Hoping your headaches stop too!

I used to get migraines 4-6 times a week for a long time. They are miserable. I’ve changed my diet after a lot of experimenting & now I may get one every couple months or so! My tricks for when I have one? Caffeine. Also put your feet and hands in hot water and put an ice pack on the back of your head/neck. Sit with her head looking toward your feet. If that doesn’t work. Dark room, cold rag, water wnd caffeine.
3 days is a long one!! I hope the stay away from you now!!
Ps you still looked fabulous, as always!
You are the sweetest!!! Thank you for all those awesome tips- I really really hope they stay away from me now too- that was miserable. I’m so sorry you get them that often. But I’m glad you found out a way to make them less frequent! That’s amazing!!

Hey girl!
Glad you’re mostly feeling better :-) migraines are the worst.
I’m just curious, please don’t take this the wrong way, but what size is that flowy shirt you are Wearing? Wondering so I know what size I should get, I usually wear a small or medium but just had a baby a few months so I’m not of my size right now haha
Thanks for being Awesome!
Hey girl!! I’m wearing a XS/S. It’s really oversized and super flowy, so I recommend definitely NOT sizing up! Hope that helps! :)
