Bump Envy

My daily vomiting saga continues. It seems that just when I have a good day and I think my new diet is working, I have a bad day. Yesterday was a bad day. We woke up in the morning to get ready for church. I did my normal, take shower, go back to bed, then get ready routine. I was almost done getting ready, when the I started throwing up. Only this time, Daniel was also in the bathroom getting ready. So Daniel casually tried to keep fixing his hair while I puked in the background. He lasted a while before he finally admitted, "listening to this makes me want to throw up in the sink." Great, that's just what we need, more vomit in this house.
I preached a sermon in Godsearch last night, and felt like I was in and out of my nauseous state. Daniel said that he got feedback that I seemed more relaxed than ever. So, thanks baby Goulet for making me feel sick, which made me relax.
All this to say... I'm not gaining much weight. I keep saying that Baby Goulet crawled back inside, because my belly is not that big. After sharing a few pregnancy stories last night in my sermon, the most feedback I got last night was from people that could not tell I was pregnant. So, thank you Jesus that I haven't ballooned. But after 22 weeks of donating my body to baby science, it would be nice to have something to show for it. Can I get alittle "baby on board action over here?" Until then, I will look at the pregnant women around me that are due two months after me and continue to have bump envy.

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...
