Poop Wars

Just as a fair warning yes I am going to be talking about poop. If you do not wanna hear then don't read. :)


This last Sunday I was getting Jessa ready for church. I had her in a cute little tutu dress all ready to go bow and everything when she had to poop. So I sat and talked to her for a bit while I let her finish so I wouldn't change her only to have her go again and have to rechange her. When I went to change her is when I realized that she had leaked out the top of her diaper all over her cute dress. So I change her into another cute dress for church and we left.
We got to church early so I decided to nurse Jessa in the car before going in and while I was feeding her she pooped again. I didn't think much of this because she poops all the time when I'm feeding her. So after a few minuets I felt her back and notice that she has once again leaked out the back. So I finished feeding her and took her into the bathroom to changer her into the extra clothes I keep in the diaper bag. I started wondering if she was leaking cause shes right on the cusp of size 2 diapers and we had run out of size 1 and had a couple bags of size 2 that we got as gifts so we started using them. She is less then two pounds away from the recomened weight and she's been wearing them for for awhile, she'd almost gone threw a whole bag and hadn't leaked. So I scrounge the diaper bag for a size 1 and found the last one so we strapped this one on her put her in the semi cute clothes and sat down late for church. (I used to be early for everything and then I had a baby and I don't know how but she makes us late for everything. We were even early for church and managed to sit down late.) I am glad to say that she was a little angel through church, only burping right when we went to pray :) and sleeping the rest of the time.
 After church Stephen had to work on my dad's neighbor's computer so Jessa and I went to visit Grandpa Elmer and Grandma Robin. Jessa was hanging out in her car seat showing grandpa how good at pooping she had become while we visited.I guess I felt the need to jinx myself by saying you better not leak out of these cause I don't have anymore change of clothes for you. After a few minuets I took Jessa out of her car seat to notice that she had leaked out the side of her diaper. Apparently it didn't matter what size diaper she was wearing that day she wanted to be naked. At that moment I noticed that I didn't take the diaper bag out of the car. I didn't think Stephen would be much longer but who knows so my dad offered to go and get the diaper bag for me. As I was undressing her Robin said "by the look on her face it almost seems like maybe she's not done." I replied back "Probably not she hasn't stopped all morning." All I had left in the diaper bag for her to wear was a jacket so Jessa got to hang out in a jacket and a diaper. A little bit after that Stephen got done and came back and my grandma called to invite us to lunch. I told her about the blow outs and she asked what I was eating, implying that Jessa had diarrhea. I told her, "Her poop doesn't seem a different texture or anything. The only difference is that its outside the diaper instead of inside."


When we're at home Jessa wears cloth diapers most the time. They save money and they're really not that much of an inconvenience and we've only had one leak. But if were going out for awhile like church or over to watch a football game at my sisters its much easier to just use disposable diapers. There's no need to carry around a poopy diaper until we get home. Some thing I have noticed when Jessa is wearing a cloth diaper is when its time to change her we have this weird way of gageing how bad its going to be to clean up afterward. Okay so yes my daughter is only two months old and can't understand us but it still doesn't mean that we should curse in front of her, but at times it seems necessary I guess. Yes, an awful excuse. Hopefully by the time she understands we will break the habit. So there is some rap song I'm not at all sure what its called or who its by or any other lyric to the entire song but this one line "you know I wreck dis shit." I know, where do we even get this from. I don't know but Stephen one day came home from work and my cousin was here picking up her daughter. Jessa was in our room sleeping. Stephen told us he had to go to the bathroom went in our room and said "I'm gonna  wreck dis shit Jessa" loud enough to hear it in the living room. So my cousin and I started laughing and decided he wanted to teach Jessa bad words at a young age. Ever since then when Jessa has a really big poop, the worst she could have, we say "she wrecked dis shit". Other times when its not as bad but still fairly bad we say "she trashed this diaper". Then it gets to "this ones not that bad". Then "oh there's just a little in here". "This ones just a skid mark." and the best one to get "she only peed".

I would like to note that I have an amazing husband that has no problem changing  or spraying clean diapers and helping in the middle of the night if I need it.

In Love with the Hospital Bink

There seems to be this crazy phenomena going on in my house lately. Well more then one actually, but we'll just start with this one. I never bought my daughter a single binkie. Not one, yet some how I ended up with at least ten of them. I didn't bring any to the hospital when I had her cause I didn't really want her having them, but by that second night in the hospital I had changed my mind. All Jessa wanted to do was nurse every ten minutes and a binkie was the only thing to save my poor nipples. I've regretted this on several occasions now. I'm pretty sure the absolute most coolest thing to Jessa is her binkie. As I said, I went to the hospital with no binkies but I came home with like six of them. We went back to get Jessa's hearing checked came back with more. I'm warning you now even if you don't want your child having binkies take one from home for them in case you change your mind because you don't want the addicting hospital ones. You see these hospital workers are pros at newborns and there is no better way of calming a baby then giving them a vanilla scented binkie. Yeah no joke the thing smells so good and vanilla yeah its a calming sent. You'll think there the most amazing thing in the world, trust me I did. They calm your baby right down, they make your baby smell really good too and give you the break you need. Until the second that thing falls out of your babies mouth and the calm is over. Of course popping the binkie back in calms them right back down and also starts the funnest game you'll ever play. Its called " I'm gonna be mad at you when I spit my own binkie out". Jessa and I have played this so many times you'd think we would get bored with it but no, one of us quite enjoys it.

Of course any baby will play this with any binkie, thats not the big problem. The big problem is when suddenly all your binkies are missing. Like I said before I have like eight of this kind of binkie and at the moment all I can find is two. I thought this wasnt a big deal, I have other kinds for her to use except she just chews on them and makes a funny face cause she doesnt like the shape.

Vampire teeth who wouldn't wanna suck on that?

So the reasonable thing to do would be clean my house and find them all again but that takes work so I just look on walmart.com so see how much they are, and I start cleaning my house cause there is no way im spending sixteen dollars on only four binkies. I dont care if I can get them in pink and purple instead of green no way is that happening. Although I may buy one of these for the same price.

Probably worth 12.99

Now here's my latest dilemma, the binkie hasnt been having the same affect on her. I'll pop it in her mouth and she'll keep screaming. Not always but increasingly it wont help. I should be happy she doesnt want to use her binkie cause I never wanted her having it in the first place but it turns out were both dependent on it now (her dad is worse). Maybe its time to nip it in the bud and just take them away but I know in the middle of the night I'll be popping it in hoping it helps.
