Its amazing to me how God knows exactly what we need. God knew we needed Elijah to be part of our family before we ever did. He is perfect, and happy, and REALLY happy. Nathan is great! Nathan is passionate, fun, and LOUD........and 2 years old (very much 2 years old). So when things get alittle crazy in our house, I look at this little baby that is just happy most of the time and I can't help but smile back. Elijah brings so much joy to our house and to my life as a mommy. And this is why we all call him our happy baby.
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...
