Maybe one of these days I'll get some new pics posted here...that would be nice, huh? It just takes my old computer a really long time to download the pics and then upload them on here...this is me whining about time again!!
This weekend (actually, starting Wednesday night), we had our nephew Stephen in town visiting. He watched Nate all day Thursday and Friday (don't worry...he's almost 24 and pretty mature!) and he did a great job. No emergency calls at all! We didn't do much this weekend...just ran some errands on Saturday. Here's the "funny" story from the weekend...
We went to Lowes because Stephen works there and he wanted to get us something for our apartment. So we get there and I notice Nate needs a diaper change. I take him to the ladies room and get him on the changing table. Boy...this was a STINKY and disgusting diaper! And Nate is now at the stage where he will not lay still for a diaper change...he is constantly trying to turn over and it amuses him to no end that we are always flipping him back over and scolding him! This is happening now in the Lowes restroom, only the changing table is very small and I have to leave my wipes in my diaper bag which is hanging just behind me. I was getting him wiped, and he rolled over while I was reloading. So I pick him up to turn him back over and notice that his shirt is wet...soaking actually. Then I see that the whole changing table is wet...covered in PEE! He has peed all over the table, his changing pad, his shirt, and now it is on me because I picked him up! I still hadn't gotten all the poo off and now there's pee everywhere! So I have to take his shirt off, he's naked now, and I put him in the sink (at LOWES) to rinse him off. Of course there's no soap in the dispenser!! But there was an amused lady in one of the stalls listening to me talking to Nate and laughing about what's happening. (BTW, did she offer to help me? NO!) I finally get him rinsed off and realize I have no backup outfit for him in my bag. Rookie mistake. Man, this is a nightmare!! Now I have a naked baby, still need to wipe off the table before I put him back down and get a new diaper on him. This is extremely difficult while holding a wet, squirming, naked baby! UGH. Finally I get him dressed again, minus shirt, and take him out to the boys (who have called during this time to find out where the hell I am!). DJ was totally embarrassed by Nate's "white trash" appearance, and I was mortified that we had made such a mess in the restroom, which I did try my best to clean up. Wow, now I smell like pee and poop because there was no soap in the restroom. Great...and we still have to go get groceries before going home!!
What a great time. One that will cause me to make sure to pack extra clothes for every outing. I guess every mom has to have one of these moments. Oh, and we did stop at Old Navy and bought Nate a shirt before heading to the grocery store. Did I get a new shirt? Nope. Oh well! Till later... ;)

Too funny, after the fact I'm sure! The only time I can even come close to that, when Carin went to the ENT for the first time before her tubes were inserted. I had worked a half-day so I'm in a business suit, picked her up from the sitter (she was about 14 months), and we spent ALL afternoon at the doctors office not getting home until after 6:00pm ... no poo, but I was covered in tinkle as was she ... ahhh, those are the days to remember :) Love you, Aunt CiCi
ReplyDeleteWow! What an exciting mommyhood adventure?! At least you were able to laugh about it. It would be really easy to freak out in those kind of situations.
ReplyDeleteGee, thanks mom. Can't wait to tell stories when you start peeing and pooping all over yourself! HA!
