Was a Blowout!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A lot has changed in the past 10 years.\u00a0 10 years ago, when I was in the midst of my college days, if I mentioned a blowout, I was probably talking about a sporting event or great party.\u00a0 Well, as any mommy can tell you, the blowouts I experience now are completely different and not nearly as fun.\u00a0 My new definition: A poo that far exceeds the capacity of baby\u2019s diaper causing an explosion of sorts, often up the baby\u2019s back but not unheard of to occur around the legs or even up the front.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of my all-time favorite baby blowout moments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When Honeybun was a baby I was working at a childcare center where she went with me.\u00a0 One morning she was happily playing in the school\u2019s exersaucer.\u00a0 When I took her out, poo was dripping everywhere.\u00a0 Needless to say, I got to take that exersaucer seat home for a good washing and the poor other babies had to do without for a day.<\/li>\n<li>When Sugarplum was 7 months old we took her home to Colorado for the first time.\u00a0 We went up to the mountains so hubby could ski and when I took her out of her car seat after the long drive there was poo everywhere.\u00a0 Sugarplum just laughed at me.<\/li>\n<li>When we took Doodle to Disney for the first time we went to Hollywood studios.\u00a0 I\u2019ll admit I forget to change his diaper regularly when we\u2019re away from home and while we were watching the Muppet Vision show he worked out a big poo while sitting with me in my sling.\u00a0 When we got out of the show and I went to put him back in the buggy, I noticed poo all up his back.\u00a0 And all over my sling.\u00a0 And all over my white shirt (luckily it was 4<sup>th<\/sup> of July and I had a red tank underneath that didn\u2019t show the poo nearly as much!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And my all-time favorite:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Doodle timed his first blow out perfectly to coincide with Honeybun&#8217;s first ballet performance.\u00a0 As I was frantically trying to get Honeybun&#8217;s\u00a0make-up and hair ready, we heard Doodle make the poo. \u00a0Honeybun<\/li>\n<li>Honeybun, Sugarplum and I laughed at the robustness of it and Sugarplum told him \u201cGood one!\u201d\u00a0 A few minutes later I looked over to see him sitting in a poo puddle and poo dripping from the bottom of his seat.\u00a0 Cleaning him up took longer than doing Honeybun&#8217;s\u00a0hair and make-up and I had to wash the seat cover 3 times to get all the poo stains off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019m sure I have a lot more \u201cblowouts\u201d in my future (seeing as we\u2019ve had 2 in the past 3 days) but I guess that\u2019s just part of being a mommy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot has changed in the past 10 years.\u00a0 10 years ago, when I was in the midst of my college days, if I mentioned a blowout, I was
