All in a days work....

I've come to realize that sometimes motherhood is really NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!

We had a bit of a hard afternoon yesterday...K was diagnosed with mild reflux last week and until the medication kicks in, she is in a little bit of pain. It's hard to see your baby hurting and not be able to do anything about it. In cases like that you can either laugh or cry with her.....or in my case, take a few pictures to document it. In one of the pictures, you'll see K in a brief moment of calmness looking over her shoulder at N in the background who is letting it be known that she is DONE sitting in the bouncy chair. One set of arms....two babies....what's a mommy to do...?

And then today......well, let me just say that I know officially hate (yes, the feelings are that strong) Target store brand diapers. This is probably the 9th or 10th explosion we've had in the past 3 days. Who knows...maybe I just need to go up a size as the girls are getting close to that 10lb mark. At their last dr appointment K weighed 8.10 and N weighed 9.10. But back to the issue at hand:

N looking all sweet and angelic...but wait...what's that little wet spot on the right hand bottom side of N's onsie? Could it be spit up? Or could it be.....something else? Dun dun duuuunnn....

Uh Oh!!! Mommy hunts for the scissors after deciding that drastic measures need to be taken. Trying to take this onsie off the traditional route would certainly mean bathtime for one little girl and mommy decides that that is just too much work for her this morning. This onsie has offically taken one for the team....thanks for all your hard work onsie!

Oh this is just beautiful :P
I hope whatever brand you use next works better! Im using pampers on both twins right now, Zander is a size 2 (but I've been squeezing his chubby butt into size 1 to try to get them used up, cuz Charlotte is almost a 2 also haha) Its crazy how fast they grow! Enjoy every second of it, blow outs and all! :)
Sorry to hear about the reflux :( Is it something that will "heal"?

N is so lucky to have a great mom to help her out of sticky situations like this. I've had a similar experience with Target brand tighty-whities. Switching to fruit-of-the-loom has helped some, but accidents happen. Good luck out there!

We pay more for Papers Swaddlers for the infants at Strider's House (or are they Snugglers? I'm too sleep deprived to know). We have found the Target brand sufficient for Boo, though.

I'm terribly amused by the onesie sacrifice. I honestly never thought of that. I do one of Boo's first major blow-outs. There was poop all over her, me, all of our clothing, and the nursing pillow. I distinctly remember trying to figure out how to get us both disrobed and bathed without getting **it all over the house and then standing in the bathtub stripping us both down one-handed while trying not to drop her. I suppose if I had a second squalling lovebug, I would have had the inspiration to get creative with the scissors!
