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.

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...
