13 weeks, 2 days: Pain in the what?

At the request of my doc, I made a Neurologist appt which was yesterday. It went well considering she couldn't do much. I've been having a lot of neck pain lately so she checked that out for me. Nothing out of the ordinary. I was told to continue using my corn bag (homemade heating pad) and ice packs for the neck pain and the headaches. She also told me to start taking vitamin B2 a.k.a Riboflavin. Studies have shown that it helps with the headaches. What do I have to lose? After telling her that I've been okay since my last 5 day headache episode, I got a headache late last night and woke up with it this morning. I took some Fiorcet and it's not too bad. I'm a little tired today so that may have something to do with it.

I think I'm almost out of the woods when it comes to the morning sickness. I've had a good past week, only feeling nauseous a few times. I'll take it! I'm still eating ALL THE TIME! Yesterday I had a ham sandwich...as my 3:00 snack! "That's a meal", I was told by someone at work. At least it's better than a candy bar or ice cream, right? Hunger is one pregnancy symptom I can deal with.

Better go for now. Talk to everyone soon!
