dr appt~

yesterday i ventured over to the doctors office to talk to our family doctor about these headaches i have been having. after each of my children for about a month i have pretty much constant headache. some days its tolerable and other days its in the migraine category. each day i wake up to this headache and it varies in intensity. fun- i know. so i went to talk to the doctor because after the boys these headaches lasted for about a month and then went a way on their own. well briea is almost two months old and guess what is still hanging around.. thats right. these annoying headaches. so i went to figure out if my doctor could offer me some kind of relief.

first of let me say that we recently switched family doctors and i just love this new lady. she is a very tiny asian lady that is very direct and to the point but hilarious. so she comes in and starts asking me about these headaches and trying to get an idea for what my life was like. she asked about how many kids i had, their ages, if i worked or stayed home etc. then she went through my symptoms -pretty average for an appointment. finally she said, "so do you want to know why you have these headaches?" i looked hopeful thinking she was going to give me some great medical reason for why my head is pounding all the time. she looked at me and said " you have headache because you have three kid under four!". i looked at her and she just laughed. then she said that what i was having was a muscular headache brought on by stress, lack of sleep, etc. pretty much everything that happens when you have kids and bring a new baby into the mix. so i asked her what i could do to try and improve my condition. she said "you pray baby sleep through the night soon! - more sleep you get, better you head get!" i could not help but laugh. she can be so funny sometimes. so she suggested i try ibuprofen three times a day and if that did not offer any relief then to let her know and we would try something else.

oh well hopefully this ibuprofen thing will work and to make things even better the sun is out today. now if we could just get the temperature up!!
