Adventures with Baby Spit Up

I'm lucky that my girls don't spit up much... so when it happens, it really catches me off guard.

Take tonight for example. I took Cadence to a large store with me to do some shopping. I fed her, loaded her up into her carseat, and then drove to the store. When we arrived, I unbuckled her and stuffed her into the front carrier. In order to get her in correctly, I bounced her around pretty good, which is probably not the best thing to do after a bottle. We walked into the store, where we were greeted by a store employee. It was really busy and there were people swooping past us to get into the store.

As soon as I stopped to listen to the store employee's welcome speech, Cadence proceeded to spit up an insane amount of formula... we're talking half of the bottle she just consumed. The bad part is that it smelled REALLY bad and got all over my arm, plus the floor, plus the employee's shoe. Whoops. The employee freaked out and acted like it was a hazardous waste site and looked at me for something to clean it up with. Of course I had nothing! No diaper bag, no towel, no burp cloth. He looked at me like I was crazy and proceeded direct traffic so no one stepped into the mess.

It was embarrassing, but also pretty darn funny. I guess I better go and change my shirt now :) And next time, I think I'll bring the diaper bag along!

Dads and Daycare

Today I picked up the girls from daycare and had to laugh. Their dad dressed them in the morning all on his own. Normally, I lay out their clothes for the day. But today, I completely forgot as I rushed out the door.

Cadence was in an inside-out onesie with pants that looked like they would fit a premie. The good part about her outfit was that she matched... everything on her body was a different shade of pink. Reagan was in a dark purple onesie, a pastel purple polka-dot pair of pants, and hot pink striped socks. It was an interesting combo and I have no idea how he picked out these outfits!

I just smiled at the sitter and remarked that it's a good thing that the girls don't have hair to deal with! :)

New Blog

I've been asked by several folks why I dropped my pregnancy blog. I was pretty good at updating it while I was pregnant and on bedrest, but the minute the girls arrived, I became a slacker... a major slacker.

So, I'm starting a new blog for the girls. And if you're reading this, it means you found it! I promise I'll be better at posting pictures and posts detailing all the new milestones the girls have reached.

Stay tuned for new pics. We should be up and running soon!
