My first bad mommy moment was earlier this summer when I ran out of diapers when I was at my mom's house. No worries.
Anthony always tells me that I should carry it because of the "what if" situations: WHAT IF she decides to have an explosive poop and it gets everywhere? WHAT IF she decides to start teething or get a fever and needs tylenol? WHAT IF, WHAT IF....WHAT IF.
Whatever, it won't happen. Yeah, f*&^ing right. Well it did.
I went to lunch with my mom this afternoon, and Aeva decided to poop. She's been pooping small smounts frequently, so I wasn't worried. Well, when lunch was over, I noticed a brown spot on my jeans...where she was sitting. I had just placed her into the carseat, so I looked. Lo and behold, there was poop coming out of one side of her diaper in the front region. I had to laugh. Great. Not only is it ON ME, but its ON HER.
Honestly, I was surprised. She hasn't had an explosive poop in a long, long time. I took her home (I also have this thing about changing in public places, they are gross), and changed her.
IT WASN'T AN EXPLOSIVE DIAPER!!! She just aimed her poop to the side. It was more like a diaper malfunction than it was a "Bad Mommy Moment," which makes me feel better.
Just thought you all would get a kick out of that.

I hate diaper bags too. I have learned to have an emergency diaper bag in the car with toys and necessities and only care wipes and two diapers in my purse that i carry around with me. I have figured that i dont have to carry everything with me as long as I have access to them that is close by.
ReplyDeleteoh and I hate public restrooms so much I refuse to change my daughter in them. i just use the car. lol
ReplyDeleteI used the car when I was in New Jersey. She was freaking out in the loud restaurant and with everyone around her, so I took her outside and changed her in the car. She was content. Damn bucket-like seats suck though.
ReplyDeleteyes, they do suck. I change my daughter in the front seat, her laying side ways. I just think that its this or a cold hard like surface with me juggling to put a blanket/changing mat down while holding her, then holding her down while I take everything out or i can lay her down and have everything I need reachable while she plays with the seat belt, or random things she finds amusing. Everyone is different, they find out what works for the baby and for them. i hope you find yours soon.
ReplyDeleteok, so my friend wanted me to tell you that i know him. my fried is Steve Silva. We hung out in high school together and just got back in touch a year ago, I believe. He tells me you were roommates in college and we now joke about me talking with you through a blog. I saw a picture of you on his facebook account and told him, while I was drunk, that I think that friend he went to a wedding in New Jersey, was the person i have been talking to. Just a really small world.
ReplyDeletelol Yea, Steve was my roommate in college, and just went to Jersey for our formal wedding! That is so awesome! What a small world!
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome! nice to meet you, sort of. My name is Sarah.
