Baby, You're making me a shopaholic

As the days tick past (T minus 8 days!) and move toward my due date. I have found that the nesting instinct has kicked in full swing. I don't know what happened to me, but this past weekend these crazy obsessive thoughts came into my head like a tornado. First, all that I could think about was cleaning out the coat closet, so I cleaned that out. Then it was the kitchen. Then the bathroom. I continued this process through the entire house and through all of the closets. I couldn't help it. The thoughts of cleaning just kept occupying my thoughts until the chores were done.

And since I had pretty much everything clean, I moved onto baby set up. I made sure every area that we would need from hospital bag, to diapering area were set up.

Since most things are clean, and organized I started to move on to things that I obsessively think that I need to buy. This weeks obsessions include buying cloth diapers online and Pee Pee Tee Pees. So diapers, we have plenty of small diapers but I am focused on finding the best deals on Bum Genius which are the one size fits all kind. The hunt for the best deal on this Cadillac of cloth diapers has taken up most of my day today.

And Pee Pee Tee Pee's. Yes, you read all of those "ee" words correctly. I don't know why, but I decided that we needed them. Even if they do not work, I need them. They are little triangles that fit over the babies "Pee Pee" and keep him from accidentally peeing on you while you change them. I found ones with fire hydrants on them. Yes I know these might be pointless, but they are so cute. And going to find them gave me something to do for an hour. Here's a visual:

The stowaway

The beginning of January Daniel and I packed up Nathan, and our best friend Joanna and headed to Florida for two weeks. We stayed with Daniel's mom in Daytona Beach for a few days. Then, my parents met us so we could all go on a cruise together; 5 glorious days of fun and food. We had a great time. Lots of sun, sand, and being waited on. We loved it. And now, it turns out, we're going to have a permanent souvenir from our trip. We brought back a stowaway....in my womb. That's right, baby Goulet #2 is on the way. I'm due October 3. Exactly three weeks before Nathans 2nd birthday. All I can say is if baby #2 looks or acts like this guy, my heart's going to explode. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many

Our family Christmas

Here is the Christmas dilema when both parents in a family are pastors and need to be at church most of the Christmas weekend...when does our family do presents??? Answer - whenever we want :) Daniel and I decided that we love traditions and we are enjoying creating new ones for our family. One of the traditions that we are going to do with our family is to surprise our kids with the present part of Christmas. We really want Christmas day to be about Jesus being born. So we thought it would be fun as they get older to pick a day for us to open presents, then surprise the kids as to when it is. This year, we decided to have our family Christmas on Friday because its our usual family day anyway. I also decided that it would work better for our schedule to set up and wrap some last minute presents during nap time. So when the boys woke up from their naps we had a present party. Nathan's big gift was a kitchen with play food. Nathan is really interested in cooking and loves t
