Baby Poop...#2 (no pun intended)

Hello folks. Hope that all is well.

We pick up exactly where we left off. Baby poop. It has found new ways to amaze me. I guess like a lot of women, Addy has developed the habit of not pooping everyday. Me, I think that one should grace the porcelain throne 3-4 times daily, but that is just me. So, Addy was on a dry spell, with a little bit here and there, but never really just dropping bombs. Given the past history, we have started placing burp rags under Addy's rear end in her swing, car seat, and other various spots where we don't want poop to stain. And let me tell you good thing we did.

She was sitting in her swing, and all was well. When all of a sudden she just starts getting really fussy and crying. When approached, it was evident that she had done it again. She had covered herself with her own poo.  And boy did it smell. Working in the hospital you encounter some nasty smells, but the smell of this poop was something that my nostrils had never encountered, and man did they pay. Addy was quickly moved back to our bedroom and placed on her changing mat. After assessing the situation, it was evident that this outfit wasn't coming off without smearing poo all over her face. Given the smell, it could have been extremely toxic, so extreme measures were taken. I believe that I have added something to my accolades that not many can. I CUT MY BABY OUT OF HER ONSIE WITH SCISSORS TO AVOID SMEARING POO ALL OVER HER FACE. Get on my level.

Don't Judge Me

This was one of the funniest things I had ever encountered as well. I laughed the whole time, well as much as you can while holding your breath. After she was cut free from her clothes and out of her diaper, she was laid in the bath tub and rinsed off. If you are a return reader, we ran into the same issue. I had to spray Addy down with the dish hose in her little tub, remove her from the tub, wash the tub out, then return her to the tub and wash her again. It's a complicated process. Needless to say, we got it done.

Again I will say that I am amazed at the volume of poop this little child produces. It could be some sort of record or something. Next time I will get it on the video camera. Can you say senior slide show? Or perhaps even the wedding slide show? Ha Ha. Only time will tell.

Until tomorrow. Rest well my friends.

Blessings,
