Now of course Eric is still number one but this baby is coming in at a very close 2nd.
Let me explain. I have had a headache, almost solid, for almost 4 weeks now. I am mostly used to it. You know, as long as it stays faint. But every couple days, it likes to make its presence more known. And since the days of Excedrin are long gone, and Tylenol doesn't quite cut it, this delicious drink has been a HUGE lifesaver. Now don't you worry, I limit myself to like 4-5 cans a week depending on the need, and I did get approval (actually it was recommended!) from my doctor. :)
For some reason, only Diet Coke can take the edge off. I used to love Dr. Pepper but it does not even touch these headaches. So, sorry Dr. Pepper. There is a new drink in town. There is just something about the chemicals in Diet Coke that do the trick. And I am okay with it.
So whether this never ending headache is due to being pregnant or just my body being dumb, I don't really know. One thing I do know, is it better behave itself this weekend for my race. But I will stash a couple cans in the cooler just in case. :)
Some exciting news, (I will probably jinx myself!) it looks like the weather MIGHT hold up for me to go and practice my 1st leg tonight. I even rounded up some company to tag along with me. Cross your fingers!!!

My Dr said that as long as Diet Coke wasn't my only drink, I could have as many as I wanted :) That and Jolly Ranchers got me through my first trimester because that was pretty much the only think I could keep down. How's the morning sickness?
during my first trimesters i had solid headaches. they would come and go in strength, but they hung on FOREVER. that and my sinuses completely close off during pregnancy. can't breathe through my nose at all. good thing they are cute or we'd only have one!
I hate the pregnancy headaches!!!! They suck!!! You can totally have diet coke!! I know... I checked with my dr. too because I was way worried about it too. It's just so delicious!!!
I'm not a diet coke fan, so I guess it's good I didn't really get that many pregnancy headaches! (I guess I had the nausea/vomiting to keep me company!) Don't worry though, the headaches go away after a while.
That sucks your having so many headaches. I didn't really get them when I was pregnant but I was nauseous all the time for the first 4 months. It's all worth it though. I'm glad you've found something that helps.
I get the headaches too but I am a huge dr.pepper fan! Alan is too! Well that is exciting you find out in six weeks! We are so excited to have a boy! Do you have any names yet!
I have gotten monster headaches since I was 16. The only thing that works for me is 2 1/2 excedrin and a dr. pepper. I thought I'd die without excedrin while i was pregnant, but my doc told me to start taking vitamin B2 and I never got a single headache.
