All Pooped Out

It started off a normal day. (6/8/06) As normal as any can be these days. I went to change Sullivan’s diaper on my lap and while I was getting his new diaper ready he was making his little chipmunk noises and just as I noticed his legs go stiff I made a mad dash to get the diaper under him but I was too late. He pooed on me! It really wasn’t so bad, I was able to clean it up with a few wipes. I got him down in the living room bassinet and was going to change when I smelled a poo of Coopers. I tossed him up on the couch and went to make quick work of his diaper. Oh my goodness- when I say it was a big poo- let me clarify that this was the monster of all poos! It was seeping out of his diaper onto his onesie and all over his legs. I was able to get the diaper off but I was having a hard time keeping Cooper from scratching and getting his hands into the poo.

After a whole lot of effort and about 20 wipes I was still fighting my gag reflex with poo all over the couch and his outfit. I had him mostly cleaned up but I needed to get his onesie off. I stretched it out the best I could to get it over his head but it didn’t work, there was now poo all over his hair! I admit it I lost it. I started squealing and jumping up and down! Unfortunately this freaked Cooper out and he reached out to me. It was instinct, I felt bad for freaking him out, and automatically picked him up. If you get the drift of this post then yes you know that now I HAD POO ALL IN MY HAIR! So what is a girl to do? I called Jim and left him a voice mail squealing that there was poo everywhere! I took Cooper upstairs threw on the shower and we both jumped in. He thought it was fun at least. Jim showed up in time to get a good laugh and to help me clean up!

Sullivan is only 3 weeks old but we’ve already gone through 250 diapers. I had stocked up with three super packs and we’ve already had to go out and get more! Almost all of those diapers were poo diapers! We’ve now set up diaper changing bins all over the house so we can change diapers everywhere! All I have to say is I am all pooed out!!
