A Poopy Situation
Yesterday during our routine Target run, I smelled a poopy diaper. I could tell by the smell that it wasn't a horrible, sloppy poop so I figured I could wait until we got home to change her. (I can't be the only mommy who knows what kind of poop is in the diaper by how it smells, right??) Anyway, so we continue shopping and a few minutes later I notice her whole crotch area is now soaked in pee. She's had a few leaky diapers before, but never anything this bad. Now I've got a stage 7 emergency. I pay for my things and head out to the car to change her. I open the diaper bag...no extra clothes and no wipes! WHAT?! I can do without the clothes but wipes are pretty essential. I was totally baffled because I KNOW I just put a new pack of wipes in there a few days ago! Normally, this is where my emergency kit would come in handy...but I took that out of the car last week to update it! Grrr! After pretty much dumping out the entire diaper bag, the only 2 options for butt wiping were Clorox cleaning wipes, and antibacterial hand wipes. I obviously went with the hand wipes...they were pretty dried out anyway, so I'm hoping they didn't hurt her little butt too badly. Once the diaper situation was taken care of, I remembered I bought Isla a little tshirt on clearance, so I busted that out so she wouldn't look like a naked hillbilly baby. Success. She was somewhat clean and somewhat dressed! I rewarded myself with a yummy Jimmy John's sandwich and when we returned home I found the pack of wipes on the floor by the front door. The end.

Totally been in that situation. Made a quick run to the store - had a blow out in the diaper and had NO diaper bag with and it was cold outside to make things even worse. Luckily I always had a diaper in the glove box just in case! Had to use napkins that I had in the car to clean him up and he had to ride home naked - story doesn't seem so bad now but when it happened it was horrible!! The joys of motherhood!
Diaper in the glove box is a great idea! I think I'll start doing that, along with a pack of wipes! That was my first major diaper emergency, but I'm sure there will be plenty more to come!
Ugh. Sounds EXHAUSTING. I hate changing Gus's diaper as it is, because it's like a freaking wrestling match trying to keep him on his back and in one place. So a blowout in a public place without wipes, I want to go take a nap just thinking about it.
My worst poop situation was at around 3 months, when Gus totally blew out of his diaper while I was at Applebees. Poop up to his neck, all over his carseat... and the changing table in the restaurant was in the stall with the only working toilet in the women's restroom... So I was frantically trying to clean him up as a line formed outside the stall. Ended up cleaning him up in the sink with wet paper towels when I ran out of wipes.
Ok. Nap time.
