First of all I did not even know you had another baby. I know I had been top your blog since you had your last baby so I must have thought the pics were old ones. I remember when you had just one and now you have five!

She is very, very cute

My first and 2nd ones both had blowouts like you described. It goes all the way up their back. Not fun and yes, a horrible mess.

HAHAHA! That’s great! I had 4 kids and no pooping armpits….I guess I got lucky on that one. My first child was a puker. For the first 13 months of his life, he would puke after every. single. feeding. One day, his puking/pooping situation got so bad that we had to buy him a new outfit cuz we had run out of spare outfits….and we were less than a mile from home when this occurred.

I remember one particular diaper change, when my now 5 year old was less than 6 months old. I had to change her clothes AND my clothes.

Then I had to wash the curtains, wipe the walls with bleach and gasoline and I had to steam clean the carpets. How the hell did that happen?

The only professional mom is a nanny since you know they actually get payed to do what we do for free. Just this morning I had a poop incident as well. I go to pick up the baby as we are rushing out the door for school only to feel some squishy. It was all over and ended up being smeared all over his sheets while I was trying to change him and get him presentable with out being late to school. Truly he needed a bath but lived with just a lot of wet wipes.

Hi Fidget – Motherhood is quite an adventure, not two days are the same. I too, am the mother of two 12 months a week apart…a boy and a girl. They are now 26 and 27—he…he…Things do get easier as they get older. I think every mother has had a poop incident. I remember when it happened to me on my way to Panama….as the plane was getting ready to land. I remember like it happened yesterday.
By the way I made the green crochet hat that you won on the giveaway. I’ve relisted that same hat again. Saffi is adorable and so beautiful. I really appreciate very much the picture.

Professionalism is not being shaken by the unexpected and getting the job done anyway

#1 – You are most certainly a professional mom. We all are… sort of.
#2 – Professional mom’s are the classiest of wadies.
#3 – Get yourself a drink. You deserve it )
