Daddies boy.

I started back at my internship last week. This includes trying to now juggle Nathan and working at the same time. One of my first jobs was to help with a training on Saturday morning. So I left Nathan half asleep and Daniel with a bottle. I thought he would need to eat before I could get home. However, Nathan decided that this morning is a great morning to take a long nap and he slept the entire time I was gone. This means he took a three hour nap that morning. I thought that this was a fluke, he normally sleeps about two hours for his morning nap, but I figured he may have been tired that day.
Then, I left the boys on Monday for what I call "father, son day." This is my day to meet with people while Daniel gets one on one time with Nathan. I stayed home until Nathan was ready for his morning nap at 9am. Monday is Daniels day off, which means he likes to sleep in. I expected Nathan to wake Daniel up at 11am and need to eat. I came home at 1:30pm and found Daniel just finishing feeding Nathan. I thought this was his second bottle of the day, but no he took a four hour nap that morning! Who is this child? I know he's a good sleeper but this is crazy. And why does this never happen when I am home with Nathan? I think that they must have a special bond.

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

Labor Induction Technique that does work....

Almost from the day that I found out that I was pregnant, I thought that Jesus told me (weird, I know) that baby Goulet was going to come on October 21st. October 21st is also the anniversary of Daniel and I getting engaged. The year that we got engaged October 21st was sweetest day, so Daniel thought that it was a perfect day to get engaged. Even though I have thought that whole time that I would have a baby on the 21st, I am not a patient woman. And I especially do not like surprises, so the suspense of going in the labor was killing me (see previous posts). On the 20 th , in my quest to go into labor I drank Castor oil. Gross I know, but I mixed it with juice and it wasn't bad. I went for me daily walk, and felt nothing. Within a couple of hours, the Castor oil had kicked in. Castor oil in found at drug stores, and is typically used as a laxative. I can now say from personal experience, that it is a good laxative if you would like to completely clean your bowels out
