July 9, 2007 at 12:00 PM sometimes you feel like a nut....
officially 8 months prego
sometimes you don't...
so yesterday was the best day i've had in weeks. i had energy, i was NICE. it was utterly fabulous... until i woke up from my nap. i was quickly waddling through the kitchen to go downstairs and get G before she stripped her diaper off after her nap (as is her custom). suddenly, i was in the splits. my knee hit the tile hard and my legs were covered in something... wet. i screamed and cried out for my husband, who immediately came running. don't worry, i was ok, just sore. but then we had the mystery to solve as to what i had slipped on.we look over to find a pair of panties on the floor next to the mess, so we call E upstairs. she comes up stark nekked, but adamant that she was not the perpetrator of the bodily excretion. she was in fact, yet another victim of it's slipperiness. so the hubs goes down to find the boy, who is hiding under the bed, wearing only a new pair of chonies. the hubs sends him upstairs with a towel for me and notices as he runs up the stairs that his chonies are NOT empty and dry... he's loaded.
so F drops the towel in front of me and goes to run, because he's knows he's in trouble... when low and behold he becomes the final victim of the pee mess. SLAM! he hits the ground as well. at that point i couldn't really be angry any more, it was all too funny.
so i get the mess cleaned up and finally go down to G's bed, where she had in fact stripped down and peed twice in her bed.
when i signed up for this whole parenthood thing i thought i was prepared for the amount of poop and pee that a baby human could pass out. "i can change diapers, that's no biggie..." i don't think now though that anyone could prepare me for the amount of poop and pee that i would be dealing with even after the diaper stage. it never ends. never... no really, NEVER. it is quite different dealing with something that you can wipe and then wrap up and throw away, as opposed to actually slipping upon and consequently sitting right in another person's mess. ahhhhh, motherhood.
so here's my random happiness pic of the day:
take me out to the ball game... we lasted all of 4 innings. next time we'll be getting a babysitter, i'm afraid.also, for more slippery thoughts click sunday scribblings

Oh goodness! I thought you were going to tell me your water broke! My mom had a similar story-- her water broke in the kitchen, she slipped and fell, the cat came running in after her and slid across the floor, bumped into the cabinets, etc. etc.
I'm so glad you're ok, and that your water didn't break! It's still too soon for that. I am very sorry about the pee mess, we have some of those around our humble abode all the time!
OMG!! I have 7 kids and I don't think I've slipped in their pee yet. I have stepped in their poop though...
When my three kids were still at home, before my wife and I became empty nesters -- I was peed on and pooped at more times than I care to remember! Fun isn't it... ;)
for some reason people falling over is so funny to me. but stepherz, cats falling over is even funnier!
we are VERY lucky that nothing more happened last night. glad to still be pregnant. ;-D
The story almost eclipses your cute pregnancy pictures--you look AMAZING! :)
I'm dying of laughter this morning. That is far too much poop and pee for one house at one time plus you are adding yet another pooper to the mix in a month. You are a saint! Also a smiling saint.
Jenica, I'm so sorry that I love this post. It had me falling on the floor laughing. Oh, that's right. You fell on the floor. Oh, well!
You know - my cousin was the hand model for that "sometimes you feel like a nut" commercials. PFTZ!!
Faith just peed all over the kitchen. It keeps coming out of from under the cabinet and I can't get all of it - and she blamed it on poor Nate Nate.. GRRRRR!!
You look... beautiful. Whether you think so or not - you are definitely the cute kind of pregnant.
Muah.
and I need to respond to your email!
We've been sick.
excuses excuses
holli~
too funny that she blames it on nate... F will poop in his pants and even with it hanging down to his knees he'll blame G.
i'm just giggling about it coming out from under your cabinets in your *pink* kitchen.
to reba too: thanks so much for the kind words. sometimes when you're feeling frumpy it feels good to get all dolled up.
you are too freaking adorable ~ wowsa!!
i giggled all the way through this once i knew you were okay, oh my do i remember the seemingly endless amounts of adventure ... lol
Hilarious. And what memories...
Yes - she does blame it on Nate.. and sadly, I have an entire post about pee.
btw - I love the look in the bottom pic. Very ghetto chic. You're so cute you totally pull it off.
