I could have blogged about our family outing. Luke and I needed to run errands so we packed Madelyn up and brought her with us. While one of us ran in and bought what we needed, the other hung out in the car with this cutie...
Or I could have blogged about my first "back seat diaper change experience" more correctly titled "back seat diaper change failure". FOUR diapers and a fair amount of runny poop on the back seat later, Madelyn finally had a clean diaper. Luke and I were laughing so hard I could barely get the little one cleaned up! Is there a manual for this that I need to read??
I also could have blogged about the fact that I actually put on make up and attempted to fix my hair (after a month, I think I need to hone my "hair fixing" skills). I could have told you about how good it felt to not be in lounge wear and have my hair in a pony tail.
If I had blogged yesterday, I would have told you about the fun evening we had with my family celebrating our October and November birthdays. I love my family. I really love the time we get to spend together...
loving on my nieces...
making this little cutie laugh...
watching as our little one gets loved on...
and enjoying the awesome, incredibly healthy (facetiously speaking of course), traditional birthday dinner that Marlo and I have requested my mom make for our birthday dinner for many years now...complete with Mac & Cheese and fried shrimp!!
Or I could have blogged about how Luke and I were so excited to celebrate Madelyn Kate's 1st month of life (which I most definitely will fill you in on with another post later today) and how much our lives are forever changed by the journey this last month has led us on!
If I had blogged yesterday I would have had a lot to say. Apparently migraines don't care about blogging, or taking care of one month old babies, or letting your mom get some sleep, or the fact that you have things to do. Last night I had the first migraine I have had in a long time. Definitely a bummer as I hoped they were possibly a thing of the past, but thankful that it is gone now. I am also thankful that my mom was gracious enough to spend her evening holding (because she is so rotten that she will not sleep anywhere but in your arms) Madelyn while I tried to sleep it off. And slept I did. Although now I feel as though I have been hit by a school bus, I feel SO much better than I did for the last 12 hours. So if I had blogged yesterday, I would have been able to share all of this with you. But I didn't blog yesterday. I blogged today. And there will be more blogging to come...barring any migraines or explosively poopy diapers such as the one I tried to change in the back seat of our relatively new car (OK...so the latter one wouldn't keep me from blogging...unless the explosion landed on my computer...but I just thought I would revisit that fantastic happening of our day one more time).
Let's hope for no migraines and well contained poopy diapers!

Your tales of constant diaper and outfit changes, poop everywhere, etc. make me remember the exact same thing happening to the boys when they were little. I think breastfeeding contributes to that, and I was always surprised you weren't talking about changing all the bedding, etc. It seemed like it was never just changing the diaper! It's always amazing to me that they seem to gain weight between pooping and spitting up!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the migraine and so glad you had help to take care of Maddie while you got some much needed rest.
LOVE all the pics. Give her a smooch for me!
Love, Nancy
