What a day

Well, all the family is gone so its just us livers here now. :( Booo! I had not anticipated time going so quickly over the holidays. It seemed like it just flew by. Sister came in one day and left the next. I know there were 4 days in between, but it sure didn't feel like it. And while I know I need to write a Christmas post, I'm just not in the mood. Instead, I have this to share...

A day in the life of me. Riveting. Prepare yourself.


So first let me ask you, is it all nursing babies or just mine that likes to wait until right after I change her, start nursing her, and lets it all go? I mean ALL go! Almost every time lately. We've gone through more outfit changes than I care to count in a day. So my day started by saying my goodbyes to my sister and brother in law as they left town. My mom then changes Peapod into a Thirsties cloth diaper out of her pampers (which I put her in at night- you'll understand why shortly). We begin to nurse. She explodes (below). I pause nursing, we change her outfit. We then finish nursing. I start to burp her. She turns her head just in the nick of time to spit up right on my front. Down the bra and shirt, in the hair, my hair. Bah! I laugh it off and clean us both off. We lay down for a nap (together) (on my bed-important note). I wake up to a wet comforter. Look and realize baby has wet right through her cloth diapers, cover, and onto my comforter. Awesome. Well nothing I could do at that moment since my sweet wet angel was fast asleep. I know better than to wake her. Fast forward about 30 minutes. She has woken up. I changed her outfit yet again so we could run errands. All is good while running errands. Then we get home. I take her out of her carrier and ahha someone leaked through her diapers AGAIN! AH! Outfit change number 4!! All do to leaky diaper explosions. What is going on?!! I know cloth diapers are better than this. A lot of people told me I was crazy when I was pregnant for wanting to use cloth, but I knew it was something I wanted to do. But now, I am getting so frustrated with these things, I'm starting to rethink myself. I have tried Thirsties with Gerber cloths. Thirsties duo diapers. Doubled up the liners. OrgBaby diapers. Gerber cloths with rubber pants. What am I missing? There has got to be an easier way to use cloths with an explosive baby? A preciously, beautiful baby but a preciously, beautiful, explosive baby. She'll kill me one day when she finds out I blogged about her peeing and pooping and puking- the 3 baby Ps. But, seriously what a day... Jealous??


My little piggy mess of a girl makes it so worth it though
