Been a While

Paityn in her new outfit
Miss Cutie Petutie

So my plan for the day was to stay home and clean the house while making some of the things I am in charge of for tomorrow. The day started out as planned I got up, fed Paityn, made a list of to do's, got the kids breakfast, did some dishes, got the kids cleaning their rooms, cleaned the bathroom, and folded some laundry. I also received two phone calls during this time one from my sister who wondered if I could pick up a couple of things from target which is closer to me than her and bring them to her tomorrow. The other call was from Steve, he thought since the kids were off school we should come down by his office and have lunch with him. I told him Paityn was going to be hungry and I hadn't showered but I would see what I could do. Paityn continued to sleep in the swing so I pumped some milk for her and took a shower. We got all done in time to meet Steve so we took off for lunch. I also had a list of places I needed to go after lunch while we were out. We got to lunch and the place was busy and a little slow but I was able to feed Paityn a bottle before the food came and then I put her back in the car seat while I ate. The whole time she kept squirming and crying. Finally when we were just about done I picked her up to hold her to see if I could get her to quit crying before I had to buckle her into the car seat. When I picked her up my hand got wet so I looked and sure enough pooooo all over her clothes on her leg, normally it wouldn't be a big deal but quickly I realize I have no extra clothes for her. Where have I been? Do you take a baby anywhere without an extra change of clothes? Guess it's beeen a while since I packed a diaper bag and a small baby!!! I take her to the bathroom strip her down, change her bum and wrap her in the semi dirty blanket. Then we go into the mall to JcPenney and buy her a new outfit so she doesn't have to go naked while I run my other errands. (She did get a cute outfit out of the deal) Lesson learned I will be adding to the diaper bag for any future trips out of the house. I tried to make sure that she was covered with the blanket but I felt like I was getting a few weird stares like who would take their one month old out without any clothes on??? Twas our adventure for the day I did get all the things done on my list except for the kitchen floor mopped but I will get Steve on that first thing in the morning!!! Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

i am the same way, i always forget to put in extra clothes, or the extra clothes are too small b/c i haven't changed them out of the bag. and ky always seems to have blowouts when we are somewhere other than home. the outfit is cute!! good excuse to go shopping! :-)

Wow Wonderwoman...slow down there. ;) You're amazing. I don't think my floor has been mopped since I had Spencer. Seriously. Just put a onsie in the bag. That way you don't have to worry about the outfit getting grown out of before they actually wear it. Did Steve ever hear back from Honeywell?

I had to take McKay, completely naked, in a snow storm, into the mall to buy her an outfit when she was 18 months! She had poured a cup of water down her, was soaking, and I had too much to do to go home and change her. So I completely understand. It's always fun to have a cute new outfit for a baby.
