Monday, around 11:30am:
We were happily eating lunch and Emmalyn was acting like she'd like to go
to sleep in her buzzy chair so I decided to go put her in her bed. She always sleeps better in her bed. When I
picked her up she was soaked. She'd had a MAJOR blowout (strange for cloth diapers but she's still little and some of them don't fit just right yet) and it was all over
her, all over her clothes, all over the chair - up to nearly her armpit and down
to her foot. What. A. Mess! I took her to her room to get her cleaned up and
got mess on the changing table and on the changing pad cover. I finally peel
off her clothes, smearing her with lots of ickyness and decide it'd be better
to just give her a bath - she needed one today anyway. I wiped her off as best
I could with wipes and then... she peed everywhere! I wiped her dry with a
prefold, laid another prefold in her crib and put her on it, naked, and went to
get her bath ready. I came back after maybe 90 seconds and found that she'd
peed again. A LOT! I guess the first pee was just a warning. The second pee was the real deal. There was so much that it soaked the prefold and got her sheet and
mattress pad wet. The sheet and mattress pad that I'd just changed YESTERDAY.
I take her and get her cleaned up in the bathroom and then back to her room to
get lotion and dressed. While I was doing that Caroline decided she was ready
for her nap. I told her I'd be right there to put her down but then the
sweetest thing happened. Jack said he'd do it. He unmade her bed, closed her
blinds and curtains, tucked her in and gave her a hug and a kiss goodnight. And
she went to sleep! Back to E's room - I stripped the bed and changed the sheets
for the second time in 24 hours and then put Emmalyn in her bed, turned on her
humidifier and mobile and popped in the paci and she was out like a light! Then
it was on to laundry - poo covered laundry. My littlest one managed to create
an entire load of laundry in less than an hour. No wonder I always have full
baskets! Good thing she's cute!
