i'd like to submit my nomination for "mother of the year." this morning, madelyn and i took an early trip out to target and the grocery store to make sure we were stocked up good before the coming snow storm. while we were in target, i heard the unmistakable sound of a baby crapping herself. (and shortly thereafter, i smelled it as well). so when we got back to the car i got ready to change her in the back seat. only then did i remember that the travel changing stuff is at my in-laws right now. so i laid her on her blanket and removed the nasty diaper and then attempted to clean her up with a clean diaper. so of course, she decided to pee all over her jammies and the blanket the second i took the old diaper away... luckily, i had *just* bought a pack of onesies at target, so i grabbed one out of the trunk and changed her. one problem: it was short sleeved. and since she had been in her jammies, she now had no socks or pants or anything. and don't forget she had peed on her blanket too. any other day, i would have come straight home and just done the rest of my shopping later. but with the biggest snow storm in several years quickly approaching, i sorta needed to continue. so here i am walking around with my 11 week old daughter in a short sleeve onesie, no socks, no pants, no hat, no blanket. oh and i failed to mention it was 27 degrees out.
do you think i qualify for this award? lol. i'll get the travel stuff back at christmas, but i probably should have put some wipes in a zip loc bag or something until then. and perhaps i should keep a spare blanket and outfit in the diaper bag as well. in fact, since we now have *3* diaper bags (we bought one and then got 2 as gifts) i should just pack a whole set to keep in my car just in case.
and so marks my return to blogging.
here's a cute pic of madelyn to make up for my absence. :-)
