This is my last week of maternity leave. I'm finding that I don't want to put Alli down in her cradle for naps - I just want to hold her all the time!! (yes, she's in my arms sleeping as I type this.)
So today Alli and I had one last workday lunch with Daddy and some friends. Unfortunately, Alli is settling into a feeding schedule that made the timing of lunch a bit inconvenient. She was signaling to me that she was hungry all while we were eating, but she never cried. I promised her that we would go to a parking lot and feed before heading home, and we did. Usually before any feeding (parking lot or home) I change her diaper first. Today as I pulled her out of the carseat I decided there wasn't much in her diaper, so I would just feed her. After nursing, I put her back in the caeseat and headed home.
Well, what a surprise I had when I pulled her out of the carseat at home - poop and pee everywhere!! Apparently the diaper overflowed... So we spent the next 1/2 hour at home cleaning up the mess - the carseat cover is in the wash and Alli got a bath.
You would think that someone who is at the end of her maternity leave would know better than to over-estimate a diaper's capacity! Maybe it's a sign that my brain is not ready to think logically, like say, on work-type things! :D

Like Jeff Foxworthy says - when the package says 11-14 lbs, that really is all they hold!
