Poopy days are here again!

Last Wednesday my Stepson had an appointment with the eye doctor. We were supposed to get there 15 minutes early since it was his first time there, for paperwork.I talked all of the boys all into going because it was near the Mall, and I promised them we would go to the mall after, and buy their new shoes for school.

Picture this..I am driving in my Navigator with 3 boys, ages 15, 13 and 10 & a baby. I put on a cute pink dress since I rarely ever leave the house & I was going out to the mall. The baby got hungry on the way, and my son was sitting in the middle/back of the car with her, so he made her a bottle & was feeding her. She was drinking the bottle, and kept farting super loud. You would never believe it was a baby if you heard it!

The boys all thought this was hysterical & we were laughing & talking about how we would tease her about her loud farts when she is a teenager. We get to the doctor about 5 minutes early, not 15, because traffic was bad. My legs were KILLING me from working out the day before & I saw that I was going to have to walk down stairs to get to the front door of the place, so I decided to pull the baby out of the car seat & carry her on my hip, instead of lugging her in the car seat, which sucks now that she is about 17 pounds.

The boys all pile out & I crawl into the back seat & grab her out of her car seat. My son warned me "she might be poopy with all the farting she was doing." I agree, and am already headed to the back of my vehicle where I can just pop the tailgate & change her really fast right there before we go into the doctor....Only I don't make it to the back of my car before I realize there is something wet on my arm. Before I even look I start feeling more of it all over me & it dawns on me what has happened!When I do look, I am horrified. She had a green, water poop blow out, and it came out the top of her diaper in the back, and is now all the way up to her neck! THis in itself would not be a huge deal, since I travel with tons of extra clothes for her, and a million baby wipes...BUT since I stuck her on my hip...the poop has dripped & fallen all the way down the right side, and front of my dress. In addition to that, I guess it was all over my hands before I knew it, and I had hiked up the top of my tube dress with a poop covered hand, and there were now green poop finger prints on my boobs wherever I had grabed the dress at to hike it up!

Trying to think fast, I had my oldest son run into the office to get the paperwork that needed to be filled out, and bring it out to me. He read the questions & filled out my answers for me, while I cleaned & changed the baby, using an ENTIRE travel size pack of baby wipes just on her.
Meanwhile, my stepson went & sat inside in the waiting room, and my 13 year old took some cloth diapers in to wet in their sink so I could attempt to clean myself up. Sadly, Green poop doesn't wipe off of light pink Juicy Couture terry cloth summer dresses. Not even close. SO...I went & sat in the waiting for 35 minutes covered in baby poop & probably stinking to high heaven, in my cute summer dress & Gold wedges with my matching gold diaper bag. It was OK though, because by the time I got into the waiting room, the girls behind the desk & everyone else in the waiting room knew what had happened. My boys made sure to explain the entire situation and all of the women working in the Doctors office when they came in to get the paperwork & wet the cloth diapers in the sink. I always have tons of outfits for the baby in case of an accident, but NEVER in my years with kids was it necessary for me to have extra clothes for me!

Lesson Learned.;)
