Redefining My Universe

Growing up, getting married and having a baby completely changes the way you see the world, no doubt. Still some things never change. Behold:

Things that do not change:
Getting a migraine.

Particularly one while pregnant or breastfeeding, which precludes the luxury of taking medicine for treatment. That still sucks eggs from here to the moon. Maybe the only change is that now, in addition to feeling like a chain gang is driving spikes into my eye, I cannot totally rest and try to recover - I have a squirmy, gurgly 5 month old that wants to test how long she can yodel without taking a breath to worry about. At least until her dad gets home and saves my life.

Things that do change:
Your definition of 'sexy'.

Awaking from your migraine-induced coma to find your husband taking out the trash AND doing the dishes WHILE watching your squirmy, gurgly 5 month old is TOTALLY sexy. Forget Hugh Jackman (well, who can forget Hugh Jackman, but move him down a few notches, anyway), move over Matt Damon, make room for CHRIS "Who's Your Daddy" Padgett! Gotta love a man who can multi-task! Bow-chica-wow-wow...

That's all I'm sayin'.
