My New Diaper Record

As most mom's know, sometimes when you change a diaper, you go through more than one diaper. I now have a new record for one diaper change - 5!!! And of course, this lovely event took place at 3:30am. (And somehow at that time, I thought it was 6 diapers, but maybe I can't recall all the events properly.) But wait - not only did I get to go through 5 diapers in one change, but also 2 cloth diapers, 1 changing pad cover, and a onesie. (We use the cloth diapers on top of the changing pad cover so that we don't have to have very many covers around - the cloth diaper usually gets soiled and is easier to clean.)

Ok, here's how it went... Got Alli up for a feeding and went to change her diaper. No problem. Got the new diaper (diaper 1) and changed her wet diaper. Right at the time I was going to pick her up, I heard her poop. Well, better change that diaper. So I went to change the poopy diaper, hence diaper #2. But while I was changing the diaper, she pooped again. I'm pretty good at this - I caught most of it with a wipe, so we only got diaper #2 and a little of the cloth diaper soiled. Piece of cake. Once she finished, I got out another clean diaper (3) and replaced the cloth diaper. Changed and ready to go, I heard her poop AGAIN! I looked down at her and exclaimed "You've got to be kidding me!" So I went to change *that* poopy diaper with diaper #4. While I had her feet in my hands to move her bottom, she started peeing. Yikes! Those aren't so easy to catch with the wipe, but I always try - if anything to save the onesie. So my hand with wipe went to the belly and would you believe, she pooped again! This time, it was everywhere because I was caught off guard by the pee. The poop soiled diaper #4, the new cloth diaper, the changing pad cover and the pee got the onesie. Oh, what a mess!!! This is when I yelled "GOD DAMMIT!" So out came diaper #5, my new record, and a new onesie for her. Then my nice clean, dry, poop-free baby was set lovingly on the floor so I could take care of the poopy, wet mess I had before me in preparation for the next early morning feeding. I think I'll submit this entry to Guinness Book of World Records. :)
