I know that is normal for some babies but I shudder in fear. Shaz, anytime you want a poop story, I got millions of 'em. ;-) Harriet, I am ashamed to beat your forgetting your MIL's birthday by forgetting yours. When is it? Michelle, I know, it can always get worse. Daisy, in my dreams, Cillian Murphy, Ewan McGregor and David Tennant would have begged me to get my breasts out right there. ;-)

I don't know if she is a real person or if the van belonged to the company. The third salesman was a lateral thinker, but as it was a hot day and the van, though luxurious, had no ventilation when it wasn't running, I would have been more thankful had he offered me a corner of his office for fifteen minutes. Or if he'd told the truth in the first place about how long I was likely to have to wait (2 1/2 hours rather than one). That wouldn't have been as good a story though, I guess.

I tried to stay home on the 7th day but it isn't always possible. I had it happen in a restaurant once and I had to just take him to the restroom area, lay blankets on the floor and wipe him down as best I could with wet wipes. This gives new meaning to the phrase "Sh*t happens" doesn't it?

What is WITH the anti-gravity poops? Too funny. And I envy the mothers who could breastfeed and never show an inch of skin. My children were always slapping at me and trying to get rid of the blanket/coverup. :) Oh, you had me laughing. What is WITH the anti-gravity poops? Too funny.
