Staten's 1st time alone with Abigail

I love to go to the movies. Since the birth of Abigail, I haven't gone to the theater. I have two girls that I usually go to the movies with other than Staten. We decided to go today at 3pm. Staten said he didn't mind watching Abigail. I would go straight there and straight back. No problem!

On my way home, I called Staten to find out how they were getting along. He said really good. He had already fed her and she was asleep again. Then he said - "Oh, she had another blowout. Really big blowout." He said it went almost all the way up to her armpits, through her onesie and blanket. The funny part is once he had her cleaned up, she got really quiet and then in Staten's words "She peed, and peed, and peed, and peed!" I laughed so hard. Bless her heart! I know she felt much better.

I am so blessed to have a husband that doesn't mind the poop, spit up, crying, and waking up at any hour to help me.

Oh-I am posting a few photos of Abigail I took yesterday. We have a sweet, pretty girl. Can you tell I am a proud Mama???

Diaper Changing Lesson Learned!

Abigail - 3weeks old

This week has been an adventurous one for Abigail and Staten and I!

We now understand why it is a good idea to change babies diapers on the changing table EVERY TIME there is a diaper change. I had been changing Abigail's diaper on my bed at night and early in the morning. I was very careful. I placed a blanket each time underneath her just in case she might have an accident. I did not however account for what to do if I am wiping her sweet behind and it is placed up in the air for perfect aim toward me. Yes-me! And I am not talking about urine ladies and gentlemen, I am talking milky, breastfed poop shot straight onto my shirt, legs, sheets, and the so-called protective blanket. I yelled out another word for poop, so Staten came in the bedroom to see what was wrong. He picked Abigail up by the blanket and carried her and half of the poop with him. Great husband right!! Yes, I think so. He cleaned her up while I changed clothes and the sheets on the bed.

Staten's sister, Jennifer, also known as Jelo, came to visit this week! I was very weary about taking Abigail to Wal-Mart by myself, so I asked her to come with me to give me pointers and keep us company. Poor Abigail had to endure the Wally World of Germs. She did very good. Slept through the whole thing.
