Blowout!

For all of my bragging about how I had managed to not get puked, peed, or pooped on I never realized how stunned I would be when it finally happened.  I had enjoyed picking on Emilee because she had borne the brunt of the body fluid attacks.  I actually started to feel bad for her too.  She had been the victim of full on vomiting and she had been peed on several times.  The worst of the attacks resembled the spatter from a shotgun attack.  Anna Grace actually shot poo all over Emilee, the dresser, the crib, and the changing table AND all with a smile on her face.  Emilee however; was not overly amused.

So Emilee had been the victim, and me being the loving supportive husband I am totally teased her about it.  Of course Gracie had not pooped on me because I was her favorite.  Of course this was a look into the future regarding child/parent relationships.  I was sure it would never happen to me.  And I was right for five and a half weeks.  Let me preface this with a simple HUGGIES SUCK!

I am now under the impression that my luck was somewhat due to proper equipment.  You see we had been using Pampers and then switched to Huggies.  We are really grateful for all of the diapers we received as gifts, but we were cruising with the Pampers.  They fit better, are more absorbent, and apparently have better gaskets.  I never had an issue with leakage with the Pampers, and they are much easier to put on a wriggling potentially poo flinging kid.  Oh, and they have the "wet" stripe that turns green when wet!

The Huggies we have fall short in all of the above categories.  Just how short you ask?  At 3 AM Sunday morning I am up for the "feed and clean" session that Emilee and I try to take turns handling.  I had settled into another episode of Las Vegas when Anna Gracie emits the most guttural groan I have ever heard and a fart that would make Jim Carrey proud!  The only problem with this fart was the moisture that flowed with it.  It kind of reminded me of the following joke:

           SON:  Hey Dad, are farts lumpy?

           DAD: Only the good ones!

Yes, it was quite impressive.  SO impressive in fact that it blew out the "O" ring on her diaper.  My beautiful, precious, perfect little GIRL had managed not only to fill her diaper but overfill her diaper; and astonishingly so!  She had managed to cover parts of both legs and had actually forced poop halfway up her back.  She had blown it THROUGH the diaper and then soaked her clothes.  All of this while she was sitting in MY lap.  Now I have run into some interesting things in my EMS career, but this was a new one.  My daughter had actually taken a dump on me!  And sat there with the biggest smile I have seen on her face yet!

As I jumped into the shower to hose off I had to wonder if this was a preview of OUR relationship in her teens.

Keep Smiling,
