Dear Melissa,
So I thought I would start writing this blog to you since I think you may be my only reader. Sonny is asleep and I am too keyed up to sleep with him so I decided to blog. I have loved reading your blog! Graham already looks so different! What a difference a few weeks make. I am very excited to meet him but I am mostly excited to see how you are managing, as I will (once again) be using you for my model. I think Jesse is starting to get a little nervous about being able to handle things as Sonny can be quite a handful, but I am looking forward to the challenge. It is mostly the sleep I am worried about. I will have 3 months off of work so that can be done, but once I go back to work I am praying our new tyke will sleep through the night.
I am still sick. Last night Jesse made these bitchin taco/rice thingies and I was so excited but after a few bites it became obvious that things were not sitting right. I was going to be eating the shit out of those things but baby had other plans. Good days and bad days but I am really tired all the time. I feel so bad for Jesse. I am so lethargic I don't want to do anything so Jesse has been picking up a lot of my slack, bless him.
I watched Dead Calm the other night and thought of you. Sam Neil was very nice looking in his prime. And currently on in the background is Never Been Kissed. I remember when we went and saw that and swooned over Michael Vartan. Silly Jamie thought she would inherit all my husbands when I got married but she was a foolish sucker.
We are thinking Early November to come and see you (Karla too), but if that is too soon or if there is a specific time that would be better let me know.
I hope the clothes are working out, there will be more soon.
Katie

Stop Stealing My Beauty!

So...
It only took about 2 years, eh? Better late than never. I wouldn't say that I was particularly uninspired for a whole two years, I have just been a little...busy. At the time I wrote that last blog I was just out of a rebound relationship with a Mexican convict Peanut Butter M&M. I write this now as a married woman, wife of a felony-free Hawaiian Dark Chocolate M&M. I am a mother to a 15 month old son, Sonny and another one is on the way. I own a home and a Car and I guess you could say I am living the dream, but please don't because I really can't stand it when people say that.
I work at a struggling county hospital. I am the assistant nurse manager on the 9th floor of an Ortho-Neuro floor. We hate the company that bought us. It would appear from the way things have turned out that they hate us too. I love my job and I need the money so I stay there and pray things will get better.
I agreed to start this blog up again in hopes that I can post things on here that will keep you interested and not thinking, "wow Kate doesn't have one important thing to say". If this becomes the case then just let me know. I will cease immediately.

I am about 7 weeks pregnant at this point. I am very nauseated all the time. I haven't actually harfed yet but I kinda wish I would as it is less wimpy then this silent dry heave thing that is very embarrasing. Carrying around plastic bags all the time is also demoralizing. I only feel better sometimes when I eat. Sometimes I do not. Also it is extremely difficult to shove something down when you feel that bad, nothing sounds edible. My wonderful husband still tries, bringing home all sorts of goodies that require little to no prep time. Just pop it in and see if you hurl. So far that is working fairly well. It is quite a bother at work though. I don't want to help patients. Especially if there are body fluids involved. But I do. I am hoping for a girl. There is a wives tale that you feel very sick and do not feel pretty when its a girl because they steal your beauty to grow cute in your womb. I would almost prefer to have a homely child, but I suppose I will endure this in the hopes she is a bombshell. She better be.

I am going to go lay down. Try to convice my body that 5 hours of sleep is simply not enough.
Til next time...
Katie
