Sometimes I think to myself “self, you should try cloth diapers and save us a bunch of money”  but then….

WE HAVE A DAY LIKE TODAY.

Honey woke up at 5 and was fed then back to bed.  Up again at 9 and fed.  Fed again at 11 and napped 45 minutes.  Then we took GoodLooking to work and then to the post office and two drycleaners.  Then at home she ate 2 ounces of sweat peas (makes her gag a little) and some baby oatmeal.  We were playing on the rug when it happened.  Not in a so noticeable way at first but gradually became noticeable.  She was watching the fish and leaning forward and back and breathing heavy.  The sound was first, then came the smell.  I let her finish and then proceeded to her room where the changing desk is.  Opened up the pants then the WHITE onsie.  Then unVelcro the diaper.  Not so much was there “weird” then I lifted her cheeks to wipe and there it was… Exploded up her back was a lot of greenish brown stink.  DANGIT!
The onsie had to come off down the legs to not cover her face and hair in stench.  I threw it away to save myself from having to deal with it.  Then I put her on a changing pad on the floor because she was naked and drew up a bath.  By the time I came back, she had peed on the carpet.  I scooped her up and dunked her in the bath, washed everything and got her dried, lotioned, and diapered.  I then went to pick something for her to wear and by the time I got back, her diaper had a blue stripe (meaning it was wet).   Another change, dressed, and back to bed.  WHEW.  I am glad we have disposable diapers and that she was wearing something I didn’t mind throwing out and that we have a diaper genie.
