I Beg Your Partum?
Whoever said the journey to motherhood was a straight path clearly never had to decipher an expired pregnancy test or navigate the labyrinth of fertility treatments. Join us, Jade and Katie, as we swap tales from the trenches of pregnancy symptoms and trying to conceive. We're here to provide dubious advice, hot and lukewarm takes, and a feminist perspective on pregnancy and parenting. Whether you're in the throes of your own pregnancy odyssey, cheering from the sidelines, or just here for a good story and a laugh, pull up a chair. We're glad to have you along for the ride!

I Beg Your Partum?
Episode 1: How We Found Out//IN THE BEGINNING
Join Jade and Katie for our very first episode of I Beg Your Partum! In this episode, we discuss the day each of us found out we were pregnant, and how it felt to finally see those positive pregnancy tests. Jade details her incredible caffeine consumption and her "Dad Mug" plan, and Katie discusses her aversion to proscuitto and intense attraction to kale and guacamole. "The Boys" - Walker and Pat - join us from the peanut gallery, and there is cursing, very loud laughing, and a little bit of crying. Enjoy!

Hi Jade, hi Katie, how are you? Kind of nauseated, always Nice, the squeeze remains the squeeze. What do you want to talk about today? Today, we listed on our notes that we should talk about how we found out that we're pregnant. Okay, and maybe about ourselves and why we're doing this, and maybe also, if there's time, about trying to conceive and what that was like for each of us. Okay, we have different journeys.
Speaker 3:Cool, I was thinking and I didn't run this by you what if? Because I mean, I'm sure your story is like 20 minutes long, right, how I found out, okay, we could do. How? No, okay, no, that was pretty.
Speaker 1:That's a short story, okay.
Speaker 3:I was thinking the trying to conceive one. Okay, for the like the I can make that short or long. Like the origin story of like how, whatever happened, like how did you decide to start trying the whole thing? Oh, yeah, I was thinking like we could do separate episodes where, like, I tell my story and like oh, I love that, yeah, because they're going to be long, but for, like, opening episode, we could stick to something simple, like how we found out. Yeah, that's like way easier. Love that Great Sold Okay.
Speaker 1:How'd you find out that you were pregnant, jade? Are we doing the toast? Oh yeah, we can do toast, okay, so.
Speaker 3:Okay, great. So was it how we found out? Yes, all right. So intro could be like hi, I'm Katie and I'm Jade, and this is, I beg your pardon, and today we're talking about how we found out. Okay, do you want to do that for real?
Speaker 1:We can always try Okay, all right, but it doesn't have to be good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you say hi, I'm Katie, hi, I'm Katie, and I'm Jade, and this is, I beg your pardon, and today's episode is about how we found out. We're going to get better at this. That was great. We're going to get like improv level.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yes and yes, add a bit of ching in Walker. Okay.
Speaker 3:Before we get started, we're here with our husbands. Walker. Walker is my husband. Do you want your name on the internet? Should I have not said that?
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, and my husband is Pat. It's Pat. We love resemblance is on, canny. Really we are very lucky and have nice husbands who have been very supportive throughout the nausea.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they picked up Kava. They ordered the Kava. They were coordinated together to get us food that we ate half of at best. Yeah, good job.
Speaker 1:Listen, we're teaching them about domestic labor. They're doing great.
Speaker 3:Quick learners 80% of the work is unpaid.
Speaker 1:This, this kind of podcast, guys. So don't think we're not going to talk about feminist theory on this podcast. You can listen to it to go to bed, it'll be fine.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't do that. Okay, if you have pregnancy insomnia.
Speaker 1:This podcast is for you, okay. So episode one how we found out Jade. How did you find out that you were pregnant with a baby?
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, an embryo. An embryo A little zygote.
Speaker 3:A little thing. Okay, so it was our. We were like a few months in to trying. I was obsessive about testing and I kept trying to be better and better and for some reason that month I was just like it's not going to happen this month. I'm not like doing this, I'm not going to waste. You can waste so much money buying pregnancy tests and taking them every day, starting like four days after you. Have you waited. So I'm not doing any of that. I guess this is just not some of them. I don't have a feeling whatever. I was at the co-working space that we both work out of some women on co-working space and I drank like five Americanos that day and was like exhausted. I was like what is wrong with me? I'm like what was wrong with me is probably I was severely dehydrated.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it sounds like a caffeine crash, right.
Speaker 3:But then I was driving to a coffee shop with one of my employees to get more coffee and was like we're almost to that day that I could like test, but like it's not going to happen this month. And literally when I said that, I got this like ping in my stomach and was like, oh God, you had a physical sensation. I had like a yeah, it was like a very sharp, like cramp all of a sudden and I was like, wait, maybe, maybe I actually am. But then I was like no, I'm not whatever. And I knew I had like like a big, like trash bag of like 50 cheap pregnancy tests coming in the mail that day. So I literally like got home at five it comes in trash, do you know, like the pregnancy, it's like the cheapest of the cheap, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like massive.
Speaker 3:I got home they were in the mailbox. I just like took the Amazon package to the bathroom Walker was outside playing fetch with the dog and I took one and had like the lightest line on it and I was like, is that even real? I like, paced around the house I had bought a dad mug for Walker like a year and a half prior. That had been like hidden in our cabinet.
Speaker 3:And I was like do I give him the mug? Like my big plan was like I would find out in the morning and like bring him coffee in the dad mug. But it was like 5pm on Friday, so cute. And so I like finally, was like I think it's, I think it's real, like there is a line there, like there's like it has to be, I don't know. So I go puffed better pregnancy tests and then I put that test in my pocket and just like walked outside of the backyard and was like I think we're pregnant and Walker was like I knew it. But he knew it because I had been in the house for like 30 minutes. I had no idea where I was. But then the better tests came in the mail, where they came via go puff.
Speaker 1:This is. This is all in the same day.
Speaker 3:Got it 15 minutes. The better tests came via go puff. It came in like five minutes. I took one of those. It was like a bright pink line and then I think, like the existential crisis, like said it on both of us, we went out and had hibachi and did not speak to each other the entire time. We were just like what is happening?
Speaker 1:Quiet contemplation, or like full on shock, or what do you think? What is the combination of all these things?
Speaker 4:Well, I mean, what would you? What was going through your head?
Speaker 3:I was like excited, but also we were finding out. I thought we were finding out at like three and a half weeks. I thought like we weren't even at four weeks yet. So I was like the chances, what I thought you have, anyway, go ahead, the chances of it like sticking, I was like terrified.
Speaker 3:I was like looking up the data, I was like I want to tell someone, but I also don't, because I like I just don't know what's happening. Yeah, I had actually gone outside and like called three people and told them immediately and Walker stayed inside and read about the impending recession and had decided to be really concerned about the recession, which is how Walker processes.
Speaker 1:Doomsday thinking got it, got it. I know more about you now, so the idea that you would go to Hibachi dinner and like not talk is not an existing option. For me and Patrick that would not Right, so it would not happen.
Speaker 4:Well, it's not that we didn't talk, we did, but it was just a lot of both of us staring off into space, oh yeah, and being like whoa, this is real.
Speaker 1:I like that. It means you were like thoughtful, just thinking pensive like in 10 things I hate about you, like both of you. What was it?
Speaker 4:It was really strange, because it was a mix of being very excited and also feeling extremely vulnerable. Oh yeah, yeah, like we did it, we meant to do this, but like there's no going back, like our lives will never be the same in many good ways, but also it's like bad things can happen that will.
Speaker 3:You don't say You're ruining your life.
Speaker 4:So it was just this mix of just kind of a weird detached existential. Like life is weird man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like the Matthew McConaughey impression at the end. That was really good, thanks.
Speaker 4:I don't know what that was.
Speaker 1:I liked it. Yeah, that's wild. And then that night, like so, you went and had and told people pretty fast I think I told most people that day.
Speaker 3:We didn't tell the in-laws immediately and we waited and did a little fun thing with them and like the brothers and sisters and stuff. But it's nice, it was one of it. It's like looking back. I'm like that was such a beautiful moment and like how wonderful. But in the moment it was like it was, so I thought it was earlier than it was. It turned out it was like probably four weeks in a day or something like that. I just miscalculated when I ovulated but it was just like, oh my god, like is this real? Is it actually happening? Totally, I don't know. I don't think you get to escape like the apprehension of those early days.
Speaker 1:But yeah, maybe I did, though Maybe you did Escape that apprehension. Yeah, due to very different circumstances.
Speaker 3:So yeah, yeah, ok, well, let's get into your story.
Speaker 1:Well, golly, well. Is that the end? Yeah, is that feel like the full how we found out.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, I really like that and I didn't know because you were very polite and I had gone through a bunch of IVF and we tried for five years. We started trying in 2018 to try to get pregnant and it was really hard. We didn't get pregnant and we tried and tried. I always want to say we did a lot of fucking during that time, but it's not as cute as I think it is, yeah. So we tried for a long time and we did IUI and IVF and we can get into all that at some other episode. But, yeah, this was very unexpected pregnancy. So I'm like I think, how many, how far behind you am I?
Speaker 3:I'm 15 weeks, ok.
Speaker 1:I'm in week 11.
Speaker 3:Ok 10 weeks and five days. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, literally a month, a month behind, ok, ok, and you give me hope.
Speaker 1:So looking forward to being you very soon, yeah, so we tried and so this was not expected Right. So you were very polite and did not tell me anything about your conception until later, because I was. I'm just it's sensitive and we can probably talk about that another time, but it's like it's really weird. What makes you feel bad and sad about not being able to get pregnant and what's totally OK or what the timing is, and I think it's really individualized. So I feel like we should definitely talk about that on another podcast, because I feel like I would have loved to have known what my friends who were going through that wanted, and I think my friends want to know what to do, what would have been great to do with me, but it's like you don't even know what you want or what you don't want you know, so it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, so all of that five years, I guess, trying a nice home equity loan to pay for IVF because it's bonkers expensive, we were gonna do something called embryo adoption too. Get into that fucking real Gadica shit there. All right, so how I found out? My birthday was in November and my dad and I had the same birthday, and this year in November I'm gonna cry. This year in November we finished my dad's ashes in the creek, just like a birthday thing, around a bonfire, and we had a great.
Speaker 1:It was like such a good day Sounds morbid, but it was like the best day. And that day was supposed to start my period, but it was just like a little drippy drop of blood and I thought the next day for sure I'll get my real period and it's cause when you've tried for five years and you give up, you just don't think anything of it. You know, like you just kind of let go. So, um, the Sunday afterwards I tried to cook some prosciutto. Then we had leftover from our like really fun pizza puzzle night and I was like let me cook this prosciutto and put it in my sandwich, my egg sandwich that I make every morning, that I tried to teach Walker how to make and I cooked it and I was like this is the grossest, most foul smelling shit I have ever smelled in my life. It is gone bad, it is bad. The prosciutto is gone bad.
Speaker 1:And so I pulled it off and I put it on a paper towel and then I put it outside. Like the smell was so terrible to me. It was like it smells like a farmhouse this is the worst and so I put it outside. I could not handle it. And then I tried to put goat cheese on my sandwich also and I love goat cheese and I love prosciutto, to be clear and then I tried to put the goat cheese on. I was like the goat cheese has also gone bad. We have to get rid of it. And I threw that in the trash and I told Patrick about it. When I got home, or no, he saw the prosciutto in the carport wrapped in a little piece of paper towel and it was like Katie it was an entire cheesebar package.
Speaker 1:It was the package I was like get it out of here.
Speaker 3:So did you suspect that's?
Speaker 1:when Pat found out that I was pregnant.
Speaker 2:She was four days late and the prosciutto makes her want to throw up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so four days I was like Pat and I was like you're not cute, I've been four days late before. Don't fucking say that to me. I mean you're cute, but like that wasn't cute, you know. And so I was like whatever, pat, this is dumb. And then the next day I had like heartburn and I still didn't have my period. And then it's Tuesday and I still didn't have my period. And then it's Wednesday morning and when I tell you, I really like I was pissed that he was suggesting that I take a pregnancy test. Like I was like this isn't funny, like I, this is just a weird thing. Maybe I'm stressed, maybe the thing with my dad has me all, whatever. But then Wednesday morning he left for the office. Okay, come on.
Speaker 2:No, you told me you would take one a week from that day, if you still have not.
Speaker 1:Right, I said on Saturday. I said I'll take one on Saturday. If my period still hasn't come since on Saturday, I will definitely take one.
Speaker 1:And then he took one to crumble. Oh, I crumbled immediately. So he left the house and I was like, ugh, I'll ruin my own day. If I have a pregnancy test, I'll take one. And I dug underneath all of the expired pregmates, ovulation strips that are in my cabinet and the sharps container from sticking my abdomen with like a million different needles. Oh God, so many needles. There was a pregnancy, a clear blue. It was expired though, but peed on the stick or did not, because whoever can do that like kudos to you. I can't fucking aim for shit. So I think never even tried, peed in the cup, dipped the cup, put the cap on, put the thing down.
Speaker 1:By the time I stood up to wash my hands, pregnant it was just lit up and you said light. It was a light line because you tested so early, you know. And like what did I tell you? I was like it was bright blue, like both lines. It was wild. It was wild. So I screamed and like, truly, it was the most dramatic thing I've ever done. I'm very glad I was alone. Like it was like toddler tantrum level, like scream, crying, like just I don't even know how to be. They like exist in my body. Right now I'm just having like this giant reaction and I remember kind of like throwing myself onto the couch, like this is real. And then I'm call my mom and I'm still sobbing and I'm like it's positive. And she was like I can't understand you, you have to do better. Speak slowly.
Speaker 3:Did she think something like horrible had happened?
Speaker 1:No, cause she's. I'm going to sound so woo woo immediately, but she's a cancer and her instincts are, when she's like in her best self, what she is right now, like my mom's instincts are like off the fucking charts Good. And so she was like no, I knew why you were calling me. I was like holy shit. No.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that is wild. Oh my God, yeah so.
Speaker 1:I called her and she was like so I did speak more slowly. I took a pregnancy test and it's positive, but I'm going to take some more. And she was like, yeah, yeah, Good, and she also screamed. It was like I'm so happy for you. I've been like asking the universe for this. I've been praying for this. I've been like she's like I have everything I need in my life. I don't need any money, I don't need anything. I just want you and Patrick to have a baby. I was like, oh, mom, so nice. Yeah, so that was that day. And then I went to the store and took like five more pregnancy tests and then I sent a picture of all those tests to Patrick with my pee in the cup, so like I really shouldn't have brought that out of the photo, did you?
Speaker 3:So, you made it to a store and came home before you told Patrick.
Speaker 1:No, I took the second one in the box first, sorry, yes, to confirm and send him the picture of the two things, and then I called you. I called you first.
Speaker 2:You called me, making absolutely no sense.
Speaker 1:You still oh, it was still hysterical Good.
Speaker 2:And so it was almost exactly 9.45, because I was just getting started with my day and I got a call from you. I knew, same as your mom, I knew exactly why you were calling.
Speaker 1:But you had the prosciutto information.
Speaker 2:Yes, but also when I picked up, I was like hey babe and you were just like blub blub blub, blub blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub.
Speaker 2:And I was just like oh, we're pregnant and it's just like. You know translate, you know like, of course. And then you sent me, because you took the two x, you took four tests total and then you stacked them all up in a cool picture on the edge of the kitchen or the bathroom sink, and that was the picture that I sent to the close group of the two x, and then I sent them to the kitchen.
Speaker 3:So yeah, patrick's just like. Oh sorry, my pregnant wife is calling.
Speaker 1:No, our house is not on fire, she is just having a large, big feeling.
Speaker 3:Big feelings, yeah, that's so sweet.
Speaker 1:Yes, it was cute. Oh my gosh, but Strangers very early, some friends.
Speaker 2:And you told me, by the way, to tell no one. I know, but I'm terrible at like that I didn't for like two weeks and then I realized you had told everyone what. And I was like, well, I can't guess it's not a secret, what?
Speaker 4:was the rest of that day like, though, because. I know on our end at some point in the afternoon. Jade was like dude, I think Katie might be pregnant and I was like what? Because obviously we knew kind of what you guys had been through. It was very exciting for us, vicariously, to slowly have the information trickle in.
Speaker 1:But what was Did I tell you that day? I think I told you the next day.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you told me I think day of, or maybe day after, I just found out something really exciting or something like that, and I wasn't even going to let myself go there. Sure, I was like it must be about work or something. And then the next day you sent me a picture of a bunch of pregnancy tests that I accidentally ignored for like five hours. Well, that's right, I think.
Speaker 1:I thought you were like really mad at me or something.
Speaker 3:I was like oh, Jesus, fuck, what do I do? I was just having Chinese food with my in-laws or something and I get home and I'm like I have to call Katie immediately. She just sent me a picture of like five pregnancy tests. Like what does this mean? Like I still was like no, this is not it, Like I can't go there.
Speaker 1:I don't know what did we? I don't know. I just remember taking the test and telling people and I remember being like I got to go get prenatal vitamins because I had just two weeks before was like cleaning out my bookshelves and like rearranging stuff with my friend of mine and I was like look at the prenatal gummies that I because you have to take them during IVF or any kind of fertility stuff so I was like these are fucking depressing. Chuck them in the garbage. $90 worth of vitamins, just get them out of here. Pat, do you remember anything about that day?
Speaker 2:I thought I cooked something from Molly Baz in celebration. I think I cracked up in the cookbook. I think I cracked up in one of the cookbooks and made something special, because I remember you still had an appetite back then. Yes, I had an appetite.
Speaker 1:I think I remember the next day better. I just I remember it was like the happy it that I had a whole week before the nausea kicked in, or like maybe like week and a half before the, this book was like relax, and then the and it was like yes, this is easy.
Speaker 1:So, oh so, the next day, like the next day, I went to Barnes and Noble and bought pregnancy books, yes, which I was trying to find expecting better by Emily Oster, but I it would. They did not have a copy at the Barnes and Noble by the house, and so I got this book called pregnancy day by day, and it's this giant encyclopedia, a site, actually big, it's like huge textbook size book, and literally it's every single day of your pregnancy and so Pat that's been reading it to me every morning, so sweet.
Speaker 3:He's been reading about how husbands are sometimes sensitive and jealous and definitely aren't reading this book to you over breakfast every morning?
Speaker 1:dude there's. So the book, this book and then like a bunch of stuff on, like the bump and like some of the pregnancy stuff which I'm sure we'll get into in other episodes, is just wild. Like totally okay with the idea that men can act like little babies. Like what in the fucking what is this? Because there's like a paragraph pretty early on that's like you're a husband, might feel like he's not getting it, might be jealous of all the attention you're getting and maybe moody, and I was like who has time for that? Like how is that allowed? Oh my god, shouldn't you divorce someone?
Speaker 3:yes, and here's the number of a local divorce they should add that in when was that book written.
Speaker 1:It's actually it's like it's fairly recent. It's not. It's really not that bad. That's really the only kind of more outdated thing and what. We are just lucky with the husband level that we have, I think, because there are plenty of like dudes and partners, not just dudes who are going to get jealous of attention that their partner gets. I think that's stupid and dumb, but I feel like like.
Speaker 2:What the book was trying to say was basically like like your your needs have have become more important than his, and, and like he's going to have trouble adjusting to that, or something like that it was. It was less that. It was like your husband's not the star of the show, it's. It's more like like, oh, all of a sudden, like he has to start giving a shit about what you need, both of which are terrible, but yes, I mean no, you're.
Speaker 1:You're right, it's, it's not. The book itself is quite good, but um, yeah, pregnancy day buddy. I did buy a very bad one though. Uh, it's not. It wasn't very bad, it just. I opened it up to a nutrition section and immediately it was like Don't eat too many sweets. If you want cake, then you know it's really good to have as a date. Dip it in almond butter and I was like please go fuck yourself.
Speaker 2:That's a terrible idea.
Speaker 1:If I want cake during a pregnancy, the baby is going to have cake, not a date wrapped in. No, that doesn't eat cake. I know Right. Plus, patrick is the baker of the century. I can have whatever I want.
Speaker 3:I got a walker of this dad pregnancy book. I don't even remember the name of it, but I was flipping through it because it's by week or something like that and the tips for taking care of mom were make sure to not stay in the bathroom too long because she might need to pee or something and it's like what? This is the big advice. The book was mansplaining as fuck.
Speaker 1:But if it's explaining, to a man then that's fine it was.
Speaker 4:Would femme splaining be the right?
Speaker 1:term Maybe.
Speaker 4:Did I just make that up Maybe.
Speaker 1:I think it's like reverse racism, like that's not a thing.
Speaker 4:But the attitude very much was just like hey, are you a man? That must mean you're a fucking idiot.
Speaker 3:It really was written like crawl out of your cave. I think that book is now in the garbage.
Speaker 4:I don't think it's even here anymore. It was not helpful, I was like animated.
Speaker 3:I was like why does it need pictures on every page? I'm just dazed.
Speaker 4:Is your husband illiterate? This is the picture book.
Speaker 1:It's just the hieroglyphics cave drawings, oh my god, you can point to the thing you're confused about.
Speaker 2:Maybe Maybe, maybe You're good. Since we're talking about pregnancy books, can we discuss the side item, the statistical piece in today's pregnancy day by day, where it says that women with one child on average are missing two to four teeth?
Speaker 3:What oh I?
Speaker 1:don't know we might need to see that for pregnancy symptoms Episode, because, wow, wow, what information.
Speaker 3:Wait, they had wait. Wait. Did they have to get teeth pulled? Because they were?
Speaker 1:pregnant. It's something a progesterone makes your gums more softer, basically.
Speaker 2:And so yeah.
Speaker 1:Walker's eyebrows just shot up very high on his head. So, yeah, it makes your gums really soft and, as you know, there's lots of fun situations happening with your teeth.
Speaker 1:and breath and gingivitis, apparently, is common during the day, you can see gingivitis, yes, so I think this is all part of it, and so, like, the progesterone makes your gums soft, which means that you can lose teeth. Oh my God, this is not happening to me. I will not allow this to happen to me, and like half of the teeth in my mouth are fake anyway, so it's fine.
Speaker 2:So you're statistically unparred.
Speaker 1:Above average, statistically above. Yes, I am congenitally missing two teeth in the front. Thank you, patrick.
Speaker 3:Childhood trauma, let's go, oh my gosh. Any other details of finding out you want to share?
Speaker 1:No, I think that's it Really like I would say. The reactions from my friends who've kind of been with me through this whole process has been like unbelievably, kind of like lots of scream, squealing and like I'm so happy for you, and then like even when we talk or call and they'll send texts afterwards in all caps with lots of heart emojis and it's just really, really nice. That's so wonderful, yep, I'm going to cry again. We have to get, we have to stop.
Speaker 3:I was thinking we need like a cry noise. It's like whenever someone starts crying it goes brrr brrr, brrr, brrr or something is added in and like posts there's probably a sound effect they can find.
Speaker 1:Just like a terrible crying baby noise. It starts like playing sandstorm. No, actually I like Pat's idea of like the brrr, brrr, brrr, yeah like the DJ horn. Wait, patrick, do the CVS bang? Oh, never, no, never mind CVS bangers. Another weird humor reference that no one's going to get but me and Pat. I'm super sorry about it.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's so beautiful I was going to say. The only other thing I remembered about mine was, like, just in that two week wait, because we were like trying and I like was trying to calculate things. We went to a barbecue restaurant, Home Dean. And before they even had time to take our order. I had downed four Diet Cokes, like. The waitress came back and was like do you want another one? Like it was like this isn't normal behavior. Do you need a two liter at the table?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Do you see me like, bring the bottle, like and I am a like club soda with lime person. Like I'm not like a Diet Coke person and I was like this is weird, like this is kind of a weird thing happening. So you weren't a Diet Coke person. No, no. And I was like co rushing them. I was like there is something wrong with me.
Speaker 1:No well, Diet Cokes are addictive, yeah.
Speaker 3:So it makes sense.
Speaker 1:But I did not realize that you were not. Yeah, I would only get Diet.
Speaker 3:Cokes, like with you, like when we go to spotted or whatever.
Speaker 1:I would be like oh she's getting one, I'm going to get. My data set is yeah, Okay, good, Okay.
Speaker 3:But yeah, that was an interesting one, and then the moment I started taking prenatals I didn't want Diet Coke that badly anymore, like I still enjoy it.
Speaker 1:Maybe there's like potassium, so there is a lot of potassium or decent amount of potassium.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, there was something in there that the baby wanted.
Speaker 1:Oh, I know, oh, I know what I did that day. Oh, I'm so sorry. I called my mom and she came immediately and all I wanted was a kale salad and guacamole, and we went to Taza, which is like bomb so good, and I took a picture with her. I have a cute picture.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's beautiful, and me and her like holding hands over the table. Oh my God, and that's the day that you found out. Yeah, it was really nice. I remember I guess I saw you three days after you found out, because it was the day after you had told me and I like brought you a salad, and you were like, oh my God, all I want is a salad.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:And I remember saying I really hope this sticks for you, and I was talking about the salad and you were like yeah, obviously me too.
Speaker 1:No, well, and I should be terrified that the baby is not going to stick. Yes, but I just am not.

Speaker 2:You can't say anything.
Speaker 1:Nothing had me down, like not a single thing. I was like something happened with work, didn't care, it's fine, we're going to handle it, it's going to be great, like no worries and Pat's like this is awesome.

But your data person, yeah, yeah, you need the numbers, right, right, but I guess that can be a story for another another. So, yeah, wrap this one up, oh are we abbreviating a breathing.
