Parent Initiation

This past Friday Sam had his first pediatrician appointment. While we were in the waiting room (which made me very uncomfortable, by the way- I could just smell the germs), we heard poo rumbles coming from Sam's diaper. I whisked Sam off to the bathroom with just a clean diaper and some wipes. On my way to the bathroom, a nurse told me I could use an empty patient room to change him.

While changing him on the paper-covered table, Sam's man-part sprayed pee ALL over the walls, making the poo in his diaper fly across the room. There was poo on the walls, chairs, floor, on him, on his clothes...yeah.

Since I didn't bring another outfit and definitely needed help (still can't bend over thanks to the C-section), I grabbed the pee/poo covered naked Sam, waddled back to the full waiting room, and yelled, "Devin! I need you and the diaper bag!!!" Devin came running back there to help me clean up. As we were cleaning up, little Sam peed yet again all over the paper table.

The worst part about the whole experience was that it was so dang funny- I can't tell you how bad it hurts to laugh when you have a 6-inch cut on your stomach.

Anyway, that's the story. How about more pictures of my boy???





The above picture is all of the spit-up Sam did on Devin's shirt from the dr.'s office. You kind of have to look hard for the stains, but they're there.

Wow. I would've been SO stressed out if I were you, so I'm really glad to hear that you were laughing about it. That's a really good thing. I was such an uptight first time mom those first 3 months. I'm glad to have that over with.

Those pictures are so sweet. I'm glad you are updating your blog still. I'm going to call you tomorrow!

My mom said, "Wow, he's... Sturdy". I think that is the perfect word. I guess you don't have to worry about breaking him. He is so cute nad poop and pee happen;)

we DEFINITELY need to rekindle! i always say that babies and puppies are made so cute so that we can't get upset when the poo happens.

here's to parenthood!

You poor thing! That is so dang funny! Welcome to the club! Now you're one of us, an embaressed parent who laughs when their kids do naughty things. LOL. Glad to have ya! He is so handsom! I love his name! He looks like a pretty good combo of you and Dev. Although I saw you immediately when I saw his picture. Congrats to you both!!! We miss you even more now!

Jake had to stop what he was watching because I was laughing so hard. Welcome to parenthood!! It's the first of many times wet bodily things will be on you and the surrounding areas and yet it's just normal. :) Devin looks so happy! I love daddy pictures.
