***In our prenatal class they warned us that this would happen when babies were young, it never did. The Midwives told us this day would come. It hadn't, until today.***
First came the smell, then the shocking reality that this day, this day I feared so much, had come...and in full force. I screamed for Dave. Oh the horror. Panic. Panic. What do I do? Without getting too detailed, I can tell you it was everywhere. I say that in all honesty. Miles on the other hand was smiling and laughing away. He was a pig in shit...Literally. I mean it had to feel good to get that all out. Dave and I had a good sense of humour about the whole thing, though it's hard to clean a mess like that when you are both laughing and horrified at the same time. Thank god the wash machine is beside the bathroom. I can't look at that outfit the same. It was my favorite top on him. Not any more.
We headed for the bath. I washed Miles like I never had before. He was gleaming when he came out of the tub.
When I look back on the situation, pooping and bouncing definitely don't mix. Since babies can't tell you when they need to go, it may happen again......fingers crossed that it doesn't.

What a crappy story.
oh.....no.
aethan used to be the one-poop-a-week newborn....it's common in breastfed little baby's....but when that one poop came after a whole week of nothing....BLAM!
Ha ha... he looks so innocent and cute in the moments-before picture with Dave! Maybe Dave and I should have brought him a t-shirt that says "poopy monkey" instead. Hope he holds it all in while he's out here in Victoria in a few weeks! Can't wait to see you guys...
