Little Stinker

For all of you parents out there you can appreciate my experience today with my precious baby girl. For such a small package she can have a pretty big "blow out!" She was very good and just had a wet diaper during my visit with her this morning but she had different plans for my visit this evening. Before Charlotte is fed the nurses always check her vitals, take her temp. and change her. If Owen and I are around we try to take her temp and change her.

Tonight was no different than any other day except for Ms. Charlotte. When I went to change her, she had pooped in her diaper - no big deal. From the amount in the diaper it looked like she hadn't pooped in a week - still, no big deal. My problem was that she was WIDE awake and was practicing her dance moves...legs all over, booty moving around in the full diaper - all while she is attached to her monitors which have wires that kept seeming to find their way into the poopy diaper. I think the nurse got a little amusement out of watching me struggle to get Charlotte cleaned up and in a new outfit. Luckily, she helped hand me wipes to clean her up because the three that I brought over to the crib were no match for the uber-deuce!

It took a little bit but I got her cleaned up and in her new outfit and then she was ready for dinner. At dinner she took 22 cc's via a bottle and the rest through her feeding tube. After she was done feeding I put her back in her crib for another peaceful night of sleep.
