Well Xavier’s Birthday was great and we had a lot of fun out in the country and by the lake… we swam, and built sand castles and laughed and had a great time…

The boys had a blast and the party was great too… Xavier loved his Pirate ship and his Pirate treaure box and they are sure to be keepers and played with for many more hours and years to come…

Simon has been on vacation this past week which has been great… Last Tuesday I started having a headache and it kept me up all night… by morning it has not gone and I was having trouble functioning…. I have had headaches before, I have had bad headaches before… I have never had something like this… It was a Migrane and it was so awful…  I am not one to lay down in my room ion the middle of the day but by after lunch I couldn’t handle it anymore… I laid down with an ice pack on my head… drifting in and out of sleep and tatally in pain… Wednesday night I was able to come out of my room, but I had another rough night… in the morning it started leaving finally….relief…

For the next few days I had to fight it off every morning with a bit of tylenol… I hate taking meds but I had to stop it in its tracks before it started again… I don’t want to risk it… I never want to have one of those again…
I just wish that my chiro wasn’t on Vaccation… I am definately going to talk about it next week…

Besides that… babe is moving tons, I love putting my hand on my belly and feeling the kicks and movements….the pregnancy is doing well, nothing really out of the ordinary, everything looks and feels great… I don’t have much energy lately but I think that is a bit normal… With a bad cold a few weeks ago and then that headache last week my body just needs to recouperate and get back on track…

Simon is off this week too so again it helps… I love having him home…

Well here are a few pics from the weekend up north… (and here are more pics on Flickr)
