2 new firsts.

Today is Daniel's first day back working at church all day since Nathan was born. He's thankfully been able to take paternity leave and work from home. So today is my first day without him here :( Grandma is still here so I don't have to stay alone with him quite yet. I really appreciate all if her help, especially since I can't drive for two weeks. Thanks Grandma!
Nathan went back to the doctor to have his weight checked this morning. We are tracking him until his weight is back to his birth weight. We got all packed to go early this morning (a much longer process than pre-baby) just as we were about to leave, we heard a loud "squirt" come from Nathan's bottom. He thankfully rode peacefully with a poop diaper to the doctors (he likes the car). And then Nathan had another milestone.... His first public diaper change, performed by Daniel. Daniel has been the king of diaper changes, taking on even the gross tar like poop the first days. Nathan did great at the doctor and gained 3oz in two days.
Here he is at the doctor.

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...
