Baby #2 update

11 Weeks
I went to my midwife appointment today and I LOST 2 pounds. I'm pretty excited about this. With my belly already starting to show, I thought for sure this would be different.
Babies heartrate is 165 BPM. We had a sonogram to test for some genetic stuff and it turns out that the little nugget is still too little to see what they needed to see. I was right on the border of being far enough along for the test. So we'll be going back in a week and a half. But we did get to see the little 4cm bean kicking around in there.
This pregnancy has been really uneventful. I feel great, I was scared to put this out there, but I only have one more week of the good old first trimester so I will. I feel better than I did when I was pregnant with Nathan, no nausea, no vomiting, just alittle tired.

Cravings:
Spicy anything, I could eat mexican at every meal.
Rootbear floats, my loving husband had to go to the store one night just to get the ingredients.
Dark Chocolate, I kind of have an aversion to sweet chocolate right now I want the really bitter kind.

Other events:
Nathan must be sensing that there is a new guy coming, and he is growing more and more attached to me. I would have never called him a mama's boy before, but the last month or two I am his person of choice. He likes to lay down next to me and read books, he wants to be held all the time, and I hear "Meemaw, Meemaw, Meemaw." over and over about 500 times a day. Our roomates were making fun of him the other day because the entire time I was fixing his breakfast he said "Meemaw" over and over and over. How I became Meemaw, I don't know.

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...
