Pregnant Women... blank, blank, blank

We have a new language in our household. It comes from far away in the land of baby. It is the underlying theme in most conversations. And it is the direction that most conversations end in. This is talking about the baby, baby items, child rearing, child naming (HA), child birthing, and pregnancy.
It is interesting how our lives have shifted to this. For instance, Daniel asking "How are you doing?" or "How are you?" is now heard in my mind as "How are you feeling you human incubator?" So this question that used to be answered by me sharing my feelings is now answered with a run down of the physical ailments that I have that day.
I also have a new way to justify anything that I would like. And this is the phrase, "Pregnant women... blank, blank, blank." I just take a want or a need and I begin it with "Pregnant women." For example, if I would like seconds on dessert (or any food item for that matter). I just simply say "Pregnant women crave alot of sugar." When I was craving pickles its "Pregnant women need alot of salt." If I don't want to go anywhere, my reason is now. "Pregnant women need alot of rest.... I should rest." Or when I pick out most of the peanut butter cups from the moose track ice cream. "Well, Pregnant women need protein from Peanut butter :)"
So, baby Goulet you are really justifying my blame shifting. And if this method helps me get my way (which until now has been working.) I figure I'll use this for the next seven months or so.

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.

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...

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...
