Pregnancy Really Took It's Toll

Hello and happy Wednesday, First I must say that there is nothing in the world that brings me greater joy than being a mother. My body however, feels differently.

Throughout my pregnancy I suffered daily fainting spells and severe morning (which really translates into all day) sickness, and scares regarding Juliette's growth.

After I had Juliette, all of my weird symptoms disappeared... until now.

In the past three months my migraines have resurfaced with a vengeance, the fifths disease I had as a child was no longer being suppressed by my immune system and flared up as painful arthritis, and now my immune system has failed to suppress the chicken pocks virus that has been floating around my system since kindergarten and has manifested itself as shingles..... yay.

All of this is apparently the result of my body being worn down from pregnancy and now motherhood..... who knew.

Even so, there is nothing better than being a mom! This little face is enough to make me forget all of these strange ailments. She never fails to bring a smile to my face!!!!
Wishing you all a lovely Wednesday. Much love and God bless.

  12. Ugh, so sorry to hear all this. I had a very slight case of shingles this summer but my mother picked it up and it was awful for her, lasted months and very painful. I hope yours is slight and passing quickly.
