Pink Eye FAIL

Elijah woke up this morning with half of his eye red.  I didn't think anything of it and went about our day.  Later, I realized that his eye was more red and watering.  This evening we went to Sam's.  In between feeding Nathan samples at Sams I saw Elijah's red eye watering and he was trying to rub it.  I began to think that Elijah had pink eye, so off to convenient care we go.
When we go to convenient care we started the "occupy my 2 year old while holding a baby" game.  Thankfully I had a diaper bag stocked with toys.  Nathan made his way through the diaper bag and eventually found a 2 step lipstick that I had.  The lipstick has a shiny case that holds a clear and a color, they have to be unscrewed to open so I thought it was safe.  Some people sat next to us and we started to chat.  I actually thought maybe I could share Jesus' love with them.  Nathan was sitting right next to me so I thought I was safe. FAIL
I turned and looked at Nathan.  Nathan had unscrewed the color part of the lipstick and proceeded to cover the right side of his face with it.  The whole waiting room looked as I declare "oh my." The girl I just met then reminds me, "isn't that the lipstick that doesn't come off?" Yes, it is.  I tried my best to scrub Nathan's little face off  with babywipes but I couldn't get any close to his eye off.  It looked like he had an accident and got a bad black eye.
When we finally got back to the exam room, the doctor even declared "what did he do?" when he saw Nathan.  Elijah is fine by the way, he scratched his cornea and should be better tomorrow.
The only pink eye in this house is the lipstick induced kind.

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many...

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...

Welcome Elijah!

Elijah Spence Goulet is here. The birth was very very different than the first time. But I will say it still hurt like crazy. :) I felt kind of nauseous and bad all day yesterday. I thought something was up. I went for a walk in the afternoon to try to encourage labor and started having Braxton hicks contractions. They didn't hurt at all so I knew they weren't the real thing. My mom made us dinner and I had her put Nathan to bed because I was just too tired to do anything. Around 9:00 I started having contractions exactly 5 minutes apart. They were uncomfortable and not painful so I just used my labor iPhone app and tracks them but didn't say anything to Daniel or my mom. I wasn't sure I was in labor and I didn't want to get us all ready for nothing. This is the part were I add in that I had many many sleepless nights with Nathan in false labor. So I wasn't wanting to go to the hospital until I was sure this was real. I grabbed Daniel at 10:00 and has him go on...
