- Katie, you look tired!
- Don't you have anything healthy to eat in this house?
- I don't want to interfere but….
- Good Grief, give that baby whatever he wants!
- Will you quit telling me to wash my hands?
- I survived just fine without a lactation consultant and a "Boppy pillow"
- Do you really think that's a good place to put that?
- When was the last time you dusted?
- Have you finished those thank- you notes yet?
- No, I don't want to hold the baby!
I am sure this list will have to be modified from time to time.

Ten Things I promise to never say after the baby is born…
Week 15
I’m now 15 weeks and everything is changing so quickly.
According to “The Book” my baby is growing hair, moving and starting to learn how to swallow and suck. It’s very exciting for me and I can’t wait until I can feel the baby move!
My body is starting to feel different. I have a lot of pains in my hips and lower back. I know it’s because my body is starting to shift to accommodate the growing baby and preparing for upcoming presences of a full term baker baby. I have been emotional over the past four months (we all know about my emotional outbursts) but this past week I can just talk to my belly and I get all teary eyed.
The past few weeks have been great, very little morning sickness! I have pushed it a bit and paid the price but over all I have felt good. The only thing that’s going on that gets me really upset is the problems I’ve been having with my ears.
For the about two weeks I have been hearing my heart beat in my right ear. Not a ringing- but an actual “swoosh, swoosh, swoosh” that is in perfect rhythm of my heart beat. Weird, Huh?
I have not been congested or sick. Just one day I woke up and I could hear my heart in my ear. I let it go for over a week and Jake finally demanded I go to the doctor. The doctor looked in my ears, throat and nose but could not understand why I was hearing my heartbeat in my ear. I have no infection, water, swelling in either ear. He stood there and said “I have no idea what’s wrong with you!”
I told him if I died of a tumor next week I would be pretty mad about it. He didn’t laugh, so that freaked me out even more. So I now have a doctor’s appointment with an ENT doctor and also some hearing tests have been set up. It’s traveled to my other ear and now I have a headache that has been constant sense Friday.
So other than that I feel great and I’m really excited about the weeks to come.
I talk to my belly every night and I tell the baby how much I love her/him.
I’m sorry this blog is not very funny or upbeat but this headache is really taking a toll on me.
I will write more later after my doctors appointment and let you know the outcome…

Just a little venting
There are several things that annoy me…..but that list is way to long to get into.
So I will talk about only two today and only one has to do with the baby.
1- I hate cops that sit on the side of the road all day and just wait for people to speed by just so they can pull them over and give them a ticket. Then the cop goes right back to the same spot and waits for the next person.
Since 8 am this morning I have sat at my desk and watched a cop pull over people. He has been sitting there for over six hours... just waiting for people to speed by. Nine times he has gotten that poor sucker that was speeding. I hate it when cops set their little speed traps. I know we aren’t supposed to speed…Blah blah blah!!! The cops are out right now but come Friday night when the streets are full of drunks, you can’t find a single one! Where are the cops pulling people over then? They worry about speeders on a 45 mile an hour road but when the street leading from the bars are slammed packed with crazy drivers you can’t find a single one sitting on the side of the road.
The cop just got someone again, poor guy, he had no idea he was driving into a trap!
2- I hate it when people ask you how are you feeling when clearly you look like crap.
I had the most interesting conversation with someone yesterday morning, it went like this:
Rude Person: “Good Morning! How are you feeling today?”
Me: “I am okay. How are you?”
Rude person: “Really, you’re okay? You kind of look like crap?”
Me: “Wow, I was trying to give you the nice answer and not bore you with all my stuff.”
Rude Person: “Well, I asked you the question. I can clearly see you don’t look that great.”
Me: “Okay, here is the answer to your question. I threw up cranberries in my trash can right before you came in and the smell of my throw up is so strong I feel like I could throw up again. My head hurts because I can barely sleep at night because my back is sore. My stomach hurts because things are shifting around in there and I feel bloated!”
Rude person: “uuummmmm”
And he walks away………

A Fish Story
I have been craving Spicy food. I love it; I want my throat to burn!!
I got it in my head that Sushi with tons of wasabi and soy sauce was the food I wanted to eat more than anything in the world. I looked online and read about the dangers of Sushi.
Guess what? There really is little danger, although they recommend you eat it in small portions. Hot Dog!!!!!! I mean SUSHI!!!!!
I told Jake, “Go get me two veggie rolls and one Philly roll.” Of course he complied- you don't mess with a hungry pregnant lady!!
I was so happy; I danced around the kitchen, singing in my head, “I am going to eat sushi, I’m going to eat sushi!!”
I proceeded to eat all of my sushi with the most wasabi sauce I have ever eaten in my life.
My tummy was singing me praises. I was so happy and satisfied. I happily settled down to watch some TV but about 45 min later...things weren't as settled down as I had thought.
My tummy started to make this awful rumbling sound. I ran to the bath room and threw up everything! Oh, but this wasn't just any little round of morning sickness! This was the Mother of all morning sickness!!
CAUTION! STOP READING NOW IF YOU ARE EASILY GROSSED OUT
The seaweed came out in whole, green pieces and everything burned of wasabi. The thing I had loved and longed for was turning on me. The most awful part was that the rice and veggies had congealed into this horrible jello like substance. I was throwing up sushi jello! Slimy, fishy and thick sushi jello!!
I was hurling so violently that I could barely breathe. In a panic, I decided to try to inhale between explosions. BAD IDEA!!! When I inhaled I actually shot vomit up and out of my nose and out of my mouth- at the same time!! I felt like I was drowning, so I panicked even more and started crying. So to sort this out …. I had fish jello throw up coming out of my nose and mouth and I couldn't’t breathe for at least thirty seconds. I saw my life flash before my eyes. I knew I was going to die. Jake would find my cold body slumped over the toilet. This was the end.

Thank goodness everything finally came out and I stopped throwing up and I could breathe.
I had cheated death once again!!
I don't think I will be eating Sushi anytime soon, if ever again!!
It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me! Possibly the worst morning sickness experienced in the history of morning sickness! And I'm not exaggerateing!!
