Bedtime is a crappy time to try to decipher. I mean this literally. We are so close to sleeping through the night that I can almost feel it. Sometimes my kid starts her little "uh I'm changing positions" whimper. And I've learned to ignore it. Sometimes that escalates, but if I know that she's got lots of food in that tank, then I ignore it. So don't I feel like the WORLD'S WORST MOTHER when I go to scoop up my sweet little baby in the morning and she's covered in DRIED crap!!! Oh dear. Surely she'll be developing a massive infection or horrific diaper rash all because I was too lazy to check on her cries for help. Oh. My. God.
Can someone PLEASE invent a poop-o-meter, or some sort of device that sends alarms through the entire house as soon as shit hits the diaper?
And today, oh today took the cake. There were no cries, but this morning when I went to change my beautiful baby, I sat in horror for the mere moments that it took me to figure out what all of the chunky white things were ALL OVER my baby!!! Oh. My. God! Does she have a Guiness book of World Record yeast infection???? No, my kid had to pee so much that she exploded her diaper and was literally and completely soaked. And I recently learned the little factoid that the average diaper can hold 7 pounds of liquid.
Moving on....I am ON it right now and it feels great! And I do believe this motivation is purely situational, due to the location of my NEW friend being 5 houses away and her SWEET workout room and her AWESOME motivation. So we just get together and do videos, but I've learned that when you actually DO the videos, whatdayknow? You actually can sweat. Who knew? In any case, sometimes just getting over the hurdle of getting your body used to daily exercise is all you need to get that motor running. (don't do it. Don't sing the song. I HATE George Thorougood. Ehem.)
So if you have not watched Modern Family (wednesdays on ABC) then you are truly missing out. They are laugh out loud hilarious! Check out this clip, only a taster.

Okay, I added Modern Family to my DVR and you are to blame. I've been trying to record LESS shows, not MORE. ;-) That was a really funny clip.
YOu made me laugh out loud with your description of the chunky white things all over Ellie... I was thinking you were using the washable ones, so at first I was baffled, too....until I realized it must have been the polymers from the diaper!? Ellie is getting SO BIG and SO DARN CUTE! Just when you think she couldn't get any more cute!!!! And by the way, you are a saint for having gotten Ellie to 7 months nursing!!!! You did awesome!!! I can't imaging pumping while driving to my next patient! You rock.
