Mini-Vacation Day 2

Day 2-

Nathan slept in until 10am. That means I slept for 10 hours people!!! Can we vacation forever?

Our main goal of vacation was to camp out in the hotel room, and hang out. Family time at its finest.

- Nathan took a bath in a REAL bathtub. You would have thought it was a swimming pool. He splashed and played. And of course he inspected every inch of the tub, he looked at the faucet and the drain and the soap holder. It was very exciting. Then he reached for the side of the tub and tried to pull himself up.

- We spent some time in the lobby watching cars and the train go by. It was like watching TV to Nathan.

- Nathan took a morning nap and a 2.5 hour afternoon nap. Then he decided that he was still tired and fell asleep while nursing.

- Nathan also fell in love with his pacifier on this trip. We used the pacifier when he was younger. But the past month or so I just stopped giving it to him because he didn't needed. But this trip, he NEEDED it. I think he mainly chewed on it with his front teeth, but it was the one thing that kept him happy.

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...

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...
