Toddler Bed

Its been 3 weeks, and now I can say that Nathan is officially transitioned to his toddler bed! I was dreading the transition, but when my mom brought the bed to our house and set it up he wanted to sleep in it.  We did have a relapse where he wanted to sleep in the crib, but we are back in the bed.
Nathan surprisingly has not gotten out and destroyed his room.  For nap time, when I lay him in his bed he always asks to go "in there (points to crib)." But he concedes to stay in his bed.  When he wakes up from his nap, he is still the grumpiest child ever, but he stays in the bad and cries for me to come get him and hold him while he wakes up.
At nighttime he sings to himself when he falls asleep.  This week, in the morning (around 6:45) he gets up, turns on the light, and plays in his room.  This morning he played an exciting game of "put all of my toys in my bed." I love that we finally got a video monitor.
I do wish that our toddler bed had better guardrails, when I check in on Nathan at night he is usually at the foot of the bed (why he doesn't use his pillow I don't know) and crammed up against the wall.  I think he likes the crib because he can cram himself into a corner.  Oh well, I guess that just means we will make the transition to the twin bunk beds with a big guard rail sooner than planned.

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...
