So this past Sunday we attempted to take Gavin to his first church service. It was going fine until towards the end of the message (which was going longer and longer) . . . he woke up and of course wanted to nurse. This was expected and we sat in the back to be as discrete as possible.
Which wasn't a problem . . . I've got a "hooter hider" (aka cover-up for nursing moms). Well it wasn't a problem until he started having multiple explosive poops. Again this shouldn't have been a problem, except I was wearing white pants and his diaper leaked after the third explosion - oh no! So I finish nursing him and hand him to Karl who doesn't want to hear any sound from Gavin during church. So at the first peep from our baby he heads out the door.
Oh man - so there I am . . . lap full of yellow baby poop, car seat, diaper bag, Bible, purse and only two hands. So I wait until the extremely long sermon is finally over and somehow manage to grab all of our belongings. As I move ever so gracefully (Ha! Ha!) to the door I whisper to our friend Christine, "Don't know if we'll be back."
Once outside I see the huge yellow spot right in my lap, like I did it to myself (thanks son!). So we quickly change Gavin out of his very full and leaky diaper and head for our car. Glad the message was directed to College students because I'm not sure I got the complete message this last weekend but then again God definitely has a sense of humor.
Maybe next week we'll make it to lunch with friends . . . unless Gavin has other plans for his parents.

So the lesson learned here is to bring a change of clothes for youself too! Lots of baby books recommend a change of clothes for the mom in their diaper bag... I never did that and had baby barf on my shirt lots of time. Got to love yellow poop!
He he, welcome to motherhood! I can't tell you how many poopsplosions we have had.
Sounds like he is doing well though, and is very healthy!
How are you holding up?
HAHA!! I remember those days =) I think AFTER my 3rd white dress or skirt or pants.... Chuck said NO MORE WHITE!! HAHA!! To this day he says that!! =) Your little Gavin is soooooo CUTE!!!
I hope all is well with you guys... it sounds like it is!!!
He is too cute!! Poop, smoop, right!
I just refuse to believe that the adorable little angel that is Gavin would ever do something like that to his mommy! Tell him I got his back always!
Love you and miss you!
