Midwife update - 38 1/2 weeks

Went to the midwife today. She told me that my continued false labor was totally normal. I only gained 2 more pounds this week (primarily in my ankles). My belly measured right at 38 weeks.
The midwifes guess is that baby Goulet is about 8 lbs right now. To which I thought .... 8 lbs! Get him out now!
But baby Goulet doesn't seem ready to make his enterance just yet.... 12 more days until my due date.

    haha.. you're hilarous!

    hi! daniel commented on one of my blog posts, so i followed the dots and found you! awesome! i have been so curious how things are going, and was delighted to find that you're blogging. yay. i wish i had started while i was preggo, but didn't until auggie was about 6 weeks old.

    anyway, the midwives were totally off on their guess of how much auggie was going to way, so hopefully that brings you some comfort. and if not, i hear castor oil on chocolate ice cream works wonders.. but first go out to dinner and a movie one last time... ;)

    btw, auggie started walking today.. crazy!

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
