Goodbye Car

We sold our little white Saturn this week. And Daniel kissed the last shred of his bachelor life goodbye with it. He is embraising his inner family man. Mainly because we got a pretty sweet new "family" vehicle.








Goodbye little Saturn I have many fond memories of you.




- This is the car that Daniel picked me up for our first date in.


- This is the car that we sat in my driveway in and talked until the wee hours of the night while we were dating.


- This is the car that we said a hundred awkward goodnights in as we were falling in love, but didn't kiss until we got engaged (yep, we are those people.)


- This is the car that Daniel picked me up in after a week full of surprises. That night he asked me to marry him.


- This is the car that Daniel stored his roller blades in the truck for nearly two years. Never using them, they were just there.


- This is the car that we loaded our first and second Christmas tree into.


- This is the car that is too low to the ground for a pregnant woman to get in and out of comfortably. That the car whose door would never stay open for me to get in and out of.


- This is the car that we drove to the hospital in while I was in labor. The car ride that was realistically five minutes and felt like a lifetime.


- This is the car that we loaded our brand new baby into and drove home going 20 miles per hour as not to gossle him too much.








And this is our new car, in which I know we will make many many new memories.

    I remember saying goodbye to my first car--a dark blue 1991 Mercury Cougar. It was a sad day, indeed.

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...
