Good Morning Poopy

This morning I went to get Jonah up. When I went in he said, "poopy," and I just said, "I know, mommy will fix it," as I walked over to open the blinds in his room - he will sometimes tell us when he has a dirty diaper. As I went over to the crib, however, I saw a little poopy turd in the crib. And I thought, how did that fall out of his diaper. Then I saw his diaper laying in the crib and realized he was naked from the waste down. I got him out of the crib and cleaned him up and put a diaper on him - thankful there wasn't more of a mess but fussing at my husband in my head for not putting pajama bottoms on him last night. A few minutes later we are in the kitchen getting breakfast and I smell another stinker. He had quite a load this time. Perhaps, he willingly showed some restraint earlier realizing he pooped in the bed - I can only hope.

Home Alone with the Kids

Well, I survived my first day at home alone with both kids (23 month & 2 week old). Kelly still has quite a bit of paternity leave left but he was asked to work a few days here and there if possible and so yesterday was the first day we tried that. It went fairly well - although lunch time was a little frantic with baby crying and me trying to make lunch. Besides that though, I'd say it was a good first day. Of course, there was no major activities going on. It will be a while before I try an outing alone with the two of them. I definitely need to be more fully healed from the c-section before that happens.

Baby Shower for Elisabeth Rose

A big 'Thank you' to Sheila Burns for hosting a lovely baby shower for myself and Elisabeth Rose. We had a great time and Elisabeth can't wait to show off her new wardrobe. Here are a few pictures from the event.
