I missed the early morning preview of what was to come (Doug was up with Lou since it was my turn to sleep in) but according to Doug, after Lou had breakfast he soon after had a poop explosion (some poop overflow out of the top of his jammie pants) and what made it particularly gross was that he reached back to feel what was going on back there and got a handful.. ewww.. glad I missed that one!
But wait, it gets better... After Lou and I did some shopping at the Farmers Market he fell asleep on the car ride home and stayed asleep in his carseat for a whopping FIVE HOUR NAP! (He still fits in his infant carrier so whenever he falls asleep in the car we just bring his carseat inside for him to finish his nap). He happily woke up after what I would consider a Guinness Book of World Record nap and when I went to take him out of his carrier I almost fell over from the stench that I knew could only be the world's worst diarrhea. He just looked at me and smiled while I was quite literally fighting back vomit. This MUST have happened right before he woke up since he was in the living room with Doug and I for his entire nap.. there is no way that smell would have gone unnoticed.
When I managed to get him out I realized it was much worse than I thought. My baby had poop ALL over him!!! :( It completely saturated his pants and was dripping down his legs and off his toes. I'm not kidding. He was a GIANT poop. And I had to somehow get this giant poop from the living room into his bedroom so that I could clean him up. So as quickly as I could and holding him like a flying superman, I managed to get him to his changing station.. all the while closing my eyes and wishing "this was NOT happening".. He was such a great sport and laid happily on his tummy with his booty up in the air for me to clean. And poop just EVERYWHERE. Don't ask me why I didn't take him straight to the bathroom.. or outside for that matter. I must not have been thinking clearly.
But wait, it gets even better. After I got him as clean as I was going to get him, we went straight to the bath so that I could finish cleaning him and sooth his poor red booty in some baking soda water. It wasn't 2 minutes while in the bath that the entire tub turned into a brown cloud. OMG!! He did not just reah in the tub!! Oh yes. Yes, he did. With a big smile on his face. This was just awful.. Lou has pooped in the tub before but a normal solid poop cannot even be compared to the damage that he did to this tub.. it's just a completely different ballgame when your dealing with diarrhea. I won't go into the cleaning of the tub because it may be one of my worst memories which I don't really want to relive.
And if I haven't given a clear enough picture of just how awful this poopfest was.. when I was walking through the house after the storm had cleared I noticed poop smeared on one of our walls (and not even in his room where the changing occured!!!) and poop droplets on our tile.
And now.. pictures of the star. :) (don't worry - I'm not posting any poop pictures - my friend Jenn was the only one lucky enough to see one of those - SORRY! LOL)
It just so happens we got some before pics while he was eating his breakfast (toast with peanut butter - perhaps some foreshadowing here)
And the After...
I even got brave enough to put him in some clothes so he could play outside
(oh no!)
No amount of poop could ever take away from Daddy Love
