I have 3 kids, you would think by now I wouldn't make such a rookie mistake. But then again, if you know me, you won't be too surprised to hear about my morning.It started out like any other morning. The normal chaos of feeding, diaper changes and changing out of pajamas. Of course, as soon as you change Jake's diaper, he poops. He wants to see how many times I can change his diaper in a five minute period I think. Luke has always had difficulty pooping. We are lucky if he does at all. So when I started to smell something from him I simply let him at it and waited until he began to complain.
It smelled stronger than normal but I was just happy he pooped that I scooped him up and thought nothing much about it. Placed him on the carpet, because I am an expert diaper changer by now and who needs a changing pad, right? (Can you see where this is going?) I opened the diaper and was disappointed. There just wasn't much there. Figures.
As I lifted the diaper off I realized that there was indeed more. Much more. Of course, it went up and out the back. Apparently when I picked him up I put his back up against my chest and pushed it out all the way up to his neck. So what? Blow outs are bound to happen once in a while. But do you remember that there is no changing pad under this incredibly stinky and now poop covered child? Not a spot of poop on the floor! Oh no. We are talking about a poop smear the size of my child on the floor. It is of course on his back, his shirt, his arms (now) and his pants.
I pulled off the shirt and succeeded in spreading the poop onto his head and now Jake has decided he wants to help and yes, he now has poop all over him. What is next?? How can this get worse? I can tell you how. Remember how I picked him up and pressed him against my chest? You guessed it. I too am covered in poop.
So to summarize: Luke covered in poop, Jake covered in poop, Mommy covered in poop, carpet covered in poop and there goes Jake running to the couch which is now, covered in poop. Poop Happens. Sometimes the only way to survive is to laugh.

Oh my goodness. Dean had a couple of blowouts and one was so bad, I had to do jaws of life and cut him out of the onesie in order to keep it from covering him. Then Sam is notorious for squirting out that "grey poopon" while I am changing him. I learned my lesson and always have something under them. I even swiped some of those liners from the pediatrician to use. They come in handy.
LMFAO...gotta love those parenting moments! lately i've had vomit all over me! icky
LOL Oh gosh. I feel your pain... Poop does happen. Blowouts happen. Lots around here. :(
awwww... what a crappy way to start the day (pardon the pun) *L*
I usually omit to use the change pad.. thankfully we haven't had one of those blow outs in quite some time.
It does make for great blogging! :)
Oh no - that is a crappy morning alright. I'm sorry but I cannot help but laugh. I do remember those diapers where the contents go up the back, but I have never had an experience like you did this morning (thank goodness). Did you all go stand in the shower together? I must have taken you a good 2 hours to clean it all up. Sorry sweetie! But LOL
I shouldn't laugh... but that was so funny! I can picture it clear in my mind. Oh well like they say.. Poop happens. (Just hopefully...not like that again.)
:)
Well I am glad you are laughing about this. I can imagine the whole scene.
Oh Kari, you are blessed with such a great sense of patience, and I am so glad that you shared this experience!
hehe ^_^ sounds like an interesting adventure!

Oh my gosh...I soooooo do not miss the diaper stage!!! LOL!!
You are right, the only thing you CAN do is laugh.
I'm sure it didn't seem funny at the time but you got to admit it tis funny lol
I remember the days when my son use to pee up and down the front of me just the minute I let my guard down during changing time and it was always when I was dressed up to go some where important like an interview or Dr's appointment. I always seemed to be late for every important date.I guess I was lucky though because it could of been a lot worse lol
Someday you will look back & have a good laugh over this. I've been there a few too many times myself.
I hope you were able to get it all cleaned up without too much hassle.
Oh no!!!
I remember those moments! It's great that you kept your sense of humor about it! Love the t-shirt picture too, it fits so well!
Oh, Kari...LOL
This is just one fun story about being a mom to a boy.
I hope you got yourself all cleaned up. :)
I *heart* my potty trained 2 year old :) lol

Oh, I'm so glad those days are over for me. But you're right. Sometimes all you can do is laugh about it. What else are you gonna do?
I left you some bloggy Aloha here. Go check it out.
Don't know if I could've laughed at that! Good for you. :)
lol I remember when my first dd took her diaper off in her crib one morning. Poop everywhere, I think she even ate some... I agree, you just have to laugh. I went and got my video camera and then cleaned her (and everything else) up.
Oh goodness! I've been there, but maybe not that bad. Hopefully you don't have white carpets! And at least your oldest son wasn't part of the mess too!
Oh my...had to LOL at this. Thanks, I needed something to giggle about.
And yes I remember the blow outs. What's worse is when the blow out happens when you aren't at home and your child, who spits up every 5 minutes, has gone through his clothes in the diaper bag and now you are stuck changing him and taking him home only in his diapers.
LOL - Just yesterday I picked up my little guy and decided to check his bum by smelling it (like we crazy parents often do). This time I did not feel or look first -a mistake I WILL NOT make again!
I felt wet on my face and the smell told me it wasn't pee! Quite the surprise! Oh well...just another moment in the learn as you go world of being a new mom!
I see a cute shirt set the other day: "Dookie happens" I would send it to you. *giggle*
Ok isn't it odd how very calm you get when something like this happen and then afterwards you shake or well cry or not. :)
Have a bar of chocolate on the day.
ROFL!!! Sorry, but the visual is too much! I've been there, kinda... Fun stuff! Hoping hubby was home to help you?!
Well at least you got a hilarious post out of the whole ball of poop.
Now, where can we get that cute poop shirt in the photo?
I love stories like this! Sounds like you guys had a poop party.
The best one at our house is when my oldest (now 4) (then 7 months) had just a diaper on. He was in his Exersaucer. I heard a squishing noise. I looked over and he was literally jumping around in his poop. Poop to clean between his toes.
