A yucky adventure

Well, today was an adventure. After sleeping the first half of the day, I decided to venture out to the main house and take care of babies on the balcony. The first baby I grabbed sat on my lap for awhile before I realized the pee seeping from his diaper on my shirt. So, naturally, I brought the baby down to a nanny to get changed, and chose a different one. Round 2, I was feeding this baby some juice from his bottle, when I felt a sudden rush of warm fluid sliding down my leg rapidly. Looking down, I saw a brownish greenish runny poop slide all over my leg and my flipflop. It was one of the grossest things I've ever seen, and the smell made it worse. It took me 4 wet wipes to clean that mess up, and I could still smell poop on my leg at devos tonight. =) Luckily, today is girls' shower day, so I got to wash it off. After round 3 of babies, I finally held a clean one. :)

Okay...I am eating breakfast as I am reading about your experiences with these babies. EUW!!!! I am glad that you found one that kept you dry.
I think you are the one that is the most descriptive in your postings. Keep them up. I love to read them. I hope you have a better experience today. Stay healthy!

Hey Megan. Can you appreciate your mom and dad a little more today? It sounds like you guys are experiencing it all this week - like your own reality TV episode! Keep up the good work and God's blessings to all of you!

On behalf of all the parents with babies in the baby house: We each hope neither of those babies were ours. And, if they were ... Very sorry. :0D
