Bodily Fluids

This morning, I had just finished feeding Aidan. It was early morning and we were just "hanging out" together. Aidan was giving me the biggest and cutest gummy grins. My heart melted. We both got dressed for the day and I proceeded to put Aidan in the Baby Bjorn carrier. About ten seconds after he was strapped in, he spit up on me. Not just a little spit up, it was more like a projectile spit up! He not only got my shirt completely soaked, but his outfit as well. (And it was one of my favorite outfits of his!)

No problem. I set Aidan down on the bed with Alex (who was trying to get some sleep as he just recently got home from work). Aidan was still his happy self, completely oblivious to the mess he had made... Anyway, I got a new shirt on, treated the spit up stain on my old shirt, and then brought Aidan into his room, undressed him, redressed him, and then treated the stain on his shirt, too. Like I said - no big deal.

I then put him back in the Baby Bjorn carrier and we went on our merry way, getting the chores done around the house. Aidan was still his very happy, smiley self the whole time so the spit up incident had absolutely no effect on him.

By Aidan's lunchtime, he had fallen asleep in the Baby Bjorn carrier so I had to wake him up. He woke up cranky (which isn't all that unusual - and I can't say that I blame him - I'd be cranky if someone woke me up from a nap, too!). Anyway - he woke up on the cranky side and when I went to change his diaper, he got this huge grin on his face and about three seconds later, he proceeded to pee all over me! I couldn't get his "hose" under control, so there goes shirt number two! He also managed to pee all over himself so he was in for his second outfit change of the day. This is the second time he's managed to pee on me with the diaper off (the first time was when he was only a couple of days old).

After he "relieved himself" all over both me and himself, he was no longer cranky. He thought it was the funniest thing! He grunted his little grunts (which I think is how he is learning to giggle) and smiled these huge smiles. Silly boy.

So, life as a stay-at-home Mommy consists of changing my shirt about a thousand times, changing Aidan about a thousand times, and smelling like stinky baby spitup! Oh, the joys of motherhood. =)
