So I had my first "Bad Mommy day." It wasn't bad...I guess it's more like it was a "Bad Boy Scout" day.
I went to my mom's house to do some laundry since its easier than carrying a baby and laundry across the parking lot. I packed Aeva's diaper bag...enough formula for two bottles...a nipple..some recieving blankets...and since there were diapers in there, I threw in one more, thinking that the diapers in there were a bigger size.
WELL...Aeva ate at 2, and got changed. Slept a while, played a little...then ate again at 5. I changed her, she ate, and...mid-way through her bottle, she pooped. No worries, there are diapers in the bag. Well she had to sit in it for a bit since she has to be kept upright after she eats. Once the danger zone had passed, I went to change her...and found no diapers. My mother and my Aunt gave me the guilt trip of there should always be 6 diapers and blah blah blah. Okay fine. I was underprepared. So Aeva got to sit in her poo for a little bit til we got home.
She never sits in dirty diapers...one time won't hurt her, and besides, I had put vaseline on her tushy to protect it.
Later on when I got home, I went to make her milk and formula concotion. I realized the milk was bad after I made two huge bottles of the concoction. It MAY have been good, but I tossed it to be safe. Mommy strike Numero Dos.
And then I broke the NEW shredder. Well, at least I thought that I did. I thought that I overloaded it with the abundance of bank statements and crap that needed shredding. It just wouldn't work. In any setting. Today, a full 24 hours later...I realized that....well..it wasn't plugged in. WTF. It was UNPLUGGED?! Genius.
Just call me Super Mom.
All I can say, is don't sweat the small things. They may seem big at the time, but with everything that has happened, you are doing great :) I seem to always be underprepared. I think I packed something but left it right there where the bag was. Mom's just have a lot on there mind and as long as we don't lock the keys in the car with the baby inside while its a hot day...we should be fine. I rather have no diapers left than that any day!:)
