Sophie had a stomach bug this week. What this means: lots of laundry, lots of cuddling, not so many laughs.
One would think a baby who has never been fed solids would have not-so-yucky throw up. One would be wrong! It smells exactly like the real thing.
One would think a baby who only drinks 6 ounces a meal (give or take) would have small messes if they did decide to purge the entire contents of their stomach. Wrong again. 6 ounces can EASILY turn into gallons.
One would think a very small baby could never drastically change the amount of laundry one might do in a week. Again, one would be wrong! I think we're up to 10 this week and still counting.
One would think a baby who is cloth diapered could never have a blow out. You know--the kind that gets all over their clothes? Wrong. Not even these bad boys -gussets and all- can contain the messes this girl has made this week.
One might think a new mom might feel like having a small break after all of this...but I still can't get enough of her. Stink, mess, and all.
