I Haven't Seen One Those Since Before I Was Pregnant! · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen one of those since before I got pregnant.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing, oh my, before we get to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Katie Green.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about this yesterday.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I was kind of annoyed by something all day long,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: just kind of mildly annoyed physically. No no, no, no, not
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: not emotionally. I mean, I understand your response, but physically,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: I was physically annoyed by something. It occurred to me
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: at some point my left shoe was tied way too
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: tight and it was like squeezing on my foot, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: it got.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Me to think of me.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this for a while because I
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: got I got one kid who's got sensory issues, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the issues are just like heightened senses, like for feeling
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: like the tag and a shirt or things like that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Some people have this, certain materials really drive them crazy.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I think I'm the other direction. I think I have
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: And it's got to be true, right that if some
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: people have more, some people have less. I think I've
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: left sensitivity to things, and it's I really have to
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: be hit over the head with the fact that, oh,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: you're cold or wet, or you gotta rock in your
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: shoe or whatever. I just like kind of don't notice
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: it or put up with it, and it's like, oh, yeah,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: that's what that problem is.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I think number.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well obviously only you would know that, but that
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: certainly squares with all the stories you've told through the years.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I think I just don't like notice, well,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: you put up with things that not only other people,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: most other people would never put up with.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: But some of it is like fairly easily rectified, so
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: you must not be as bothered as other people just
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: are not that bothered.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So you noticed, you noticed it earlier on in the day,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and then just kind of let it be that thing.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: There's just something mildly in the background annoying, and it
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: wasn't like enough to dwell on. But then at some
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: point I realized my left shoe is tied way too tie.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: But I I think I do this with lots of
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: things where it's just like it. And since I've got
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: an example in my life of that being extra sensitive
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: to those things, I just wonder if I'm south of
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the average line as opposed to north of it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: It's it's been said many times, including by me, that
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: to spend five minutes in somebody else's brain somebody else's
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: mind would be like the most terrifying experience ever. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: think it would be incredibly disorienting too. I lost that
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: they could create that somehow. I mean, you'd have to
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: take a deep breath and like have a safe word
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: or whatever. I'll bet it would be just absolutely mind
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: blowing to be inside somebody else's head.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Regularly in my life people have said that noise isn't
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: that driving and crazy?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Like what noise? Oh?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I guess that is annoying. You know, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: don't notice or the bright light or whatever it is.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: It's just I don't know. I have low sensitivity, which
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a good thing or a
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: bad thing, but anyway, just observed it. Yes, Katie, Well
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: what are you saying?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Oh h with the story for today?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah? God, okay, So first I want to start this
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: by saying, I don't know, pregnancy brain or baby brain
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: whatever they call it is.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: A very real thing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm my awareness is down and I have turned
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: into a klutz, which is something that I have never
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: been interesting. Yeah, So I'm getting ready this morning, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: because I am a sweet angel of a wife, I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: lay my clothes out the night before, and I take
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: them into the office to get dressed so that I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: don't wake Drew up.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very nice.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And in the past couple of months, we have taken
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: all of the things out of Drew's office and moved
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: them into my office because Drew's office is going to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: be the baby's room. So things have been kind of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: moved around in here, but I'm aware of it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So this morning, I sit down, I put my clothes on,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and for some reason, my brain told me to stand
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up to put my socks on. So I stood up,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: got the left one on successfully.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I go to put the wing.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: You put your socks on standing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Don't ask me why. I never do that. I don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know what happened this morning, but for some.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Reason anyway, I'm not sure what percentage of people could
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: even put their socks on standing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Well, congratulations. The high risk maneuver is I think we're
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: about to get to well.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And I can tell you that I used to be
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: able to like reach down and like grab onto my foot.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I can no longer do that because Mabel is in
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the way, So that's becoming kind of an issue.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me too.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: You don't mean just when you were a kid, you mean,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: just prepregnancy, you could reach down and grab onto your foot.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty flexible, but.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I can too almost. I know that amazes you. If
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: my knees are perfectly straight, I can't quite get there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: But if I bend them and grab my toes, I
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: can straighten them to within you know, half a degree
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: of straight.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I've been working on it like crazy. That's really good. Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that's good.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, Well, nothing like excruciating pain to motivate a person,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: and that's what got me going.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and you also your hope to be on
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the twenty twenty eight gymnastics team.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm I'm auditioning for the circula for the twenty
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: fifth consecutive year, and this year, fingers crossed, I think
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: my dream may come true. Ugh.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm doing the amazing feat that is putting.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Remind me to reshave my torso anyway, back to you, Katie.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Trying to Okay, that's an image. So I get the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: left one on successfully. Now I'm supposed to put the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: right sock on. I full force because you know you're
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: not thinking, so you're you're just leaning forward as.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You usually would. Oh no, full force.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Bridge of my nose to the back of an office
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: chair that is so hard plastic. Oh this was at about.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You had a fall.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, basically, this is about three h five in the morning.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I hadn't obviously said anything to anybody because nobody on
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the planet was up, and the first word out of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: my mouth.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Was fuck yeah, of course, And I've.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Kind of walked it off for a minute because I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was still disoriented. I had a full blown nose bleed,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: full blown nose, just gushing blood. So I did most
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of my prep with a tampon in my nose.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, did that to yourself?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: You split your nose open, bleeding everywhere by putting your
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: socks on.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I didn't split the skin, but
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: my nose just started gushing. And I will be period
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: very interested to see when I take my makeup off
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: if I am bruised, because it is sore all through here.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I had to go find a tampon somewhere
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and shove it up my nose because tissues weren't working.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: You shouldn't do crazy daredevil things like trying to put
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: your socks on.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Good God, I know that that supervision.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I've never been this klutzy in my lights and it's frustrating.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know what point this happens, but I know
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: many pregnant women toward the end they're kind of into
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: a uh, sockless slide in shoe world or flip flops.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay, next time, yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe, because that was that was a hazard. But just
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: just within you know, five minutes aga, I hadn't even
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: brushed my teeth yet.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It's just like, well, and before and after my my
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: hip surgeries, I had a sock put her on her
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: mechanism that you can get super inexpensively on the internet.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Good for pregnant ladies too, It's really and given your history,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: you know, might save your life.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Is it good for lazy people?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: You know? I? Well, yeah, if you if bending over
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: exhausts you, yeah, but SI, you know, i'd send it
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: to you.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I think I got rid of them all, but they're
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: they're super cheap hunks. Okay.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I actually seriously considering it because that was unexpected and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I did not like it one bit.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: What's it called.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: It can't be called a sock put her on her?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I don't remember. It's something like that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: It's like a curved piece of plastic that you can
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: put the sock over, like stretch.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: The top a sock helper, sock helper. There you go.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: That's not at all I feel pathetic, but well times
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: we're all pathetic. That's part of life. We come into
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: the world pathetic, we leave it pathetic. Don't be ashamed anyway.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: But so you put the sock, stretch it over it,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: and then you and it's got ropes attached to it,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: and then you pull it up over your foot and
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: it kind of slides itself out of the way, as
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: I recalls years ago.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: But it's very handy.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: We did that, say this show, we're going to start
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: endorsing sock helpers and walk in tubs and.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Well, and I had a stick with grabbers on the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: end that I would use to take stuff off shelves
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: and stuff.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it was nice.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: So the baby brain thing, I know that it's a
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: real thing, a term, and I've heard Sam and Henry's
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: mom talk about it. When so what what is the
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: theory behind that, like that all the nutrients is going
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: to the growing person inside you and leaves your brain
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: lacking or do you have any idea what cause.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That's That's what I've been told by doctors is that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you know, my all of my body, everything, my immune system,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: my brain, my nutrients, everything's going to him right now.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: It's the baby. Yeah.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: And plus the blood flow that's not flowing out of
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: your nose right right.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And I also I didn't know this, but my blood
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: volume has doubled in this process.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I'd forgotten that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that probably had a lot to do with
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the niagara falls that I dealt with this morning. But
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: also I didn't.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Volume is double. Yeah.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I didn't realize this because everybody says, oh,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the second trimester, that's the best part. There's a slump
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in like eighteen to twenty four weeks, which I'm right
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in the middle of where you just you hit another
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: another wall. You're just tired and disoriented and all that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So I don't know all of those things together by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the amount of time.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: That's where I spent a lot of my life tired
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: and disoriented.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: So you'll get used to it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The amount of times that I've said, Kate, what are
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you doing to myself?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: That's interesting?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Interesting as I'm thinking about is it adaptive? In some way.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I just think it's a biological necessity, and it makes
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: you more vulnerable to whatever might befall you, whether it's
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: a self induced three Stooges episode, or you know, an
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: attack by somebody else God help us, or you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: the other tribe comes over the hill, which is why
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: males have and I feel it rising in me as
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I'm discussing it, have a protective instinct that is literally
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: murderous if necessary to protect your pregnant woman, wife or
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: your child, because I think we instinctively understand that she's
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: not just in the obvious state of vulnerability, but even
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: the defense mechanisms that you would have as a as
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: an adult, everything is taken about seat to nurture, nurturing
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: and nourishing the child. So that's why, you know, men
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: who are manly men have that protective instinct.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I remember when you're when Judy was pregnant and you
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: got really good with the numb chucks practicing ready to.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Take oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. A waiter would be
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: rude to me.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I would just practice on him for him to do
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: his knees right exactly, yes, to stay sharp.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it.
