Day 12: a whole new (low) level of parenting


You realize you have reached a whole new level of parenthood (possibly an all new low point) when in the darkest of dawn hours, your infant squirts poo across your white sheets, and you simply clean it up with a wet wipe and roll over to go back to sleep on said sheets.

Motherhood at its finest...

Oh, and the toddler's bedding is currently in the wash as she wet clear through her diaper, pajamas and sleep sack onto her sheets for the third time in 5 days. 

Clearly, sizing up in diapers isn't the answer to dryness. Any advice is welcomed. All mothers know changing crib bedding is close to visiting the outer regions of hell. Although it is much easier now that I don't have a pregnant belly to work around.

My infant-poo-smeared sheets on still on our bed. 

Parenting is full of lazy selfless acts.;)

October 14, 2012 we lost our second baby in a miscarriage. I learned the next day, Oct 15, was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

President Ronald Reagan named the entire month of October a month to remember the loss of these tiniest of precious lives, in 1988.
"When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn’t a word to describe them." Pres. Reagan
Click on the link below the awareness ribbon to learn more.

Therefore, on October 15 at 7 pm, people all over the country light candles in memory of those lives lost, and in honor of their families.

If you, or even someone you know, has lost a pregnancy or baby, consider joining others as we light candles in remembrance of these sweet lives, and their families. If you take part in honor of someone you know who lost a child, send them a picture, etc... of the lit candle. I promise this simple act will bless them beyond words.

Happy weekend y'all!

  1. We had this problem when we switched Stella to disposables at night after she was potty trained during the day (never had problems with cloth!). We've had to quit giving her milk within an hour of bedtime & have her pee on the potty right before bedtime. Also, you can make the bed twice - waterproof bad + sheet + waterproof pad + sheet...so if she does wet in the middle of the night, you can just strip the top set off and the bed is already ready to go!
