i so feel like a mom....


I have taken a long break from blogging, but i am starting to feel settled in to our new life! I could not miss this opportunity to share with everyone my day. Ella is developing quickly and hitting all the milestones such as rolling front to back and back to front, smiling & laughing. however, I officially feel like a mom today:) We are currently on outfit number 3 for the day! i went in to Ella's room at noon after her morning nap, got her out of her crib only to find that her and the crib were soaked. her diaper had leaked and everything was covered in pee. I got her cleaned up, changed her sheets and nursed her. maybe you other mom's out there have suggestions, but changing the sheet and mattress pad is close to impossible. i am breathing heavy and feel like i ran three mile after i accomplish this task!

I put her in her exersaucer while i ate lunch. after lunch, i decided the sun was shining and we need to go for a walk. I got my keys, phone and jack's leash and put them in the stroller. which if you have ever met my dog, he goes nuts when he sees his leash!!! so now i have a wild dog running circles around the house. i got Ella out of her exersaucer and started to put her jacket on.....at which point, i smelled a poopy:( I flipped her over to find it all the way up her back to her shoulder blades. how this child managed to get poop up to her shoulder blades while sitting straight up in the exersaucer is beyond me. at this point, her exersaucer, my pants, her jacket are all covered in poop. i took her into her changing table to begin the clean up process. i take off the pants...spray down with totally toddler stain remover. i unleashed the diaper and pulled out a wipe.....the last wipe......no free hands....one totally covered wipe. what to do? I aborted clean up on the table and went straight to the bath tub. I gave Ella a bath and dressed her in her third outfit of the day.

I was determined to go on our walk and so was the dog....he was dragging his leash around the house. I got Ella in the stroller only to see a big patch of poop in her hair:) I got a baby wipe out of the diaper bag and off we went on our walk!! Oh the fun adventures of motherhood:) I am loving them!
