T'Mahk Too - Comments on My brain, my brain! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000614.html Nothing like a really helpful entry title, so you know where I'm headed with this, huh? Some people have asked if I get "morning sickness" when I'm expecting. Yes, sort of. With my first, I threw up just about daily,... en-gb Thu, 22 Feb 2007 16:26:28 -0500 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 11:29:04 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.21-en kim@andfam.net 180 By Robin (((gentle hugs))) and praying for a less barfy pregnancy.

]]> Thu, 22 Feb 2007 18:56:35 -0500 By BusyHSmom Ohhh! The Star Trek memories!! "Brain, brain. What is brain?!" Don't feel too bad. You are pregnant and you have earned the right to have aversions to food! I am not pregnant and I have a hard time deciding what to cook. So, what's my excuse? I am always afraid to admit that I don't really enjoy cooking because we are all supposed to be domestic goddesses and excel at everything, right? But here is my confession. I don't really like cooking. I do it. Many folks say I do it well. But I don't really enjoy the doing it. I cook because I must cook. Sometimes I think it is just my sinful nature rearing its ugly head. You know, the I-don't-want-to-do-it-because-I-have-to syndrome. Maybe if I did not HAVE to cook everyday, I would want to cook! Maybe if 8 other folks were not always asking the "What's for dinner?" question I would not feel so resentful about having to be responsible for cooking. And maybe if I could just cook what I want to eat, I would like it better. But my family is more the meat-and-potatoes type, or the anything that has carbs (noodles, rice, potatoes) meat, and cheese type. (((sigh))) So I cook, but I don't really get very excited or inspired by it. I always feel like I am in a rut of making the same things over and over. I guess, it ain't their fault, just me and my selfishness. Sheesh! Why am I dumping all this on you? I guess confession is good for the soul! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000614.html#c36933 36933:614@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Ohhh! The Star Trek memories!! "Brain, brain. What is brain?!"

]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2007 08:54:58 -0500 By Shambleyqueen thanks for your sweet comment, kim! :) i can't remember having too much trouble with throwing up during pregnancy, even with my twins. my MIL however used to throw up every day. she would literally excuse herself from the table, go and throw up, and come back and finish eating. O_O she was just used to it and it didn't phase her. being pregnant is an amazing experience, isn't it? i'm so happy for you! haha, "did i tell you i started knitting a sock?" :P i hope it's a pair of socks... http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000614.html#c36935 36935:614@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ thanks for your sweet comment, kim! :)

]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2007 09:54:05 -0500 By Liliana Kim, I'd love if you came and cooked at my house. Everything you cook looks good. I liked the look of that green soup. The oogies, those are not too good though. I know about the oogies. I didn't get morning sick once the first time, second time I got the oogies. And you're starting a sock!? I just ripped out my scarf yesterday. It stretched so I needed to shorten it. Then I decided I didn't like it anyway (I don't like the pockets). Anyway, it's in the other room, in a bag, all take apart except for ten inches or so. It a giant pile of kinked up yarn now. Maybe I will make it into one one those little purses. BusyHSmom! Hi! I too, think the worst question in the world is when at 11:00am someone says, "What's for dinner tonight?" (And I don't even cook much. How bad is that. And only one kid. You and Kim and Christina are going to put me in a collective choke hold!) One day in about 16 years you're going to look around and you'll be cooking for two instead of a small army. I think big families are so neat. My old ex-best friend was one of four kids and I like it at her house. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000614.html#c36941 36941:614@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Kim, I'd love if you came and cooked at my house.

]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2007 11:33:30 -0500 By Peggy I was sick as a dog during every pregnancy I lost. The pregnancies that ended happily I was without oogies or chucks at all. Except one - the one where my gallbladder went bad. It was like all day morning sickness for a year - nine months of the pregnancy then three months until it went bad and REQUIRED surgery RIGHT NOW. You might need more than a loose categorical plan for the next few weeks just to avoid the thinking-about-it issue. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000614.html#c36949 36949:614@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I was sick as a dog during every pregnancy I lost.

So, I purchased some organic all purpose flour. That loaf had one half orgaic whole wheat flour and one half organic all purpose unbleached flour. I used a molasses/honey mix for the sweetner. So, basically flours, yeast, gluten, water, salt, molasses/honey, butter (or Earth Balance). I added Italian seasoning and sea salt and freshly ground pepper to it, as well. Sometimes we add organic thick cut oats. Yummmmmmm. Praying that you are feeling well today! ((gentle hugs)) More bok choy tonight for dinner!

With the other half I made long french rolly-looking loaves on a cookie sheet. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000614.html#c36959 36959:614@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Oh, loaf size. lol I used 8 cups total of flour and approximately half went into that pan.
