Have you ever...

Gotten everything ready for a trip while your baby plays in her exersaucer when you hear "THE sound"? The sound I am referring to is the sound one learns to dread, the sound of a baby's poo smearing up her back, out of the diaper, and onto her clothes. You quickly rush to see if you could catch it before the aforementioned actually happens. But you realize that you were TOO late. So you might as well give the baby a bath. After the bath it is about bed time, so kisses for everyone then off to dreamland. The baby falls quickly to sleep, almost too quickly. Momma starts a load of wash, because the poo stained clothes cant sit for 10 days while everyone is out of town. Then as the mother anticipated the baby awakens, the mother tries to calm the baby, then she hears the "dreaded sound." She holds her breath and looks, thinking "surely not AGAIN!" A better look reveals that it has happened again. A sponge bath, new diaper, new clothes, a huge smile and laugh for the momma, and ANOTHER load of wash. Back into the bed for the baby who wants nothing to do with going to sleep. Nearly 2 hours past her normal bedtime she still has not settled. Does she realize she needs all the rest she can get before being in her car seat for 14 hours in one day.

I had never experienced this either, until tonight! Thanks Ainslee!
