'Dirty Jobs'

Today has been an interesting day for Mommy. Let me start by saying, there will be no picture with this post. I started feeling a little 'under the weather' yesterday and woke up this morning with a full fledge cold. Scratchy throat, post nasal drip, cough...gotta love it. We are currently 10 1/2 weeks pregnant, so taking medication is out of the question. Daddy spent the morning with Madison and Mommy plugged in the humidifier to 'cuddle' with for the morning.
Daddy was so very helpful all day so Mommy could rest. Madison was sweet and loving too.
The fun began during bath time. Daddy was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner so Mommy decided to bathe the food covered child. All was normal in the bath until Madison tried to tell Mommy something. I thought she was asking for a toy I'd never heard of and then it happend. She showed me what she was trying to tell me. Madison needed to poop. In a BIG way. Luckily she was cruising the tub on her tummy when the fun started. There was plenty of space for the poop to just keep coming-and come it did! I scooped her out of the tub, into a towel and onto the changing table, slid a diaper under her and yelled for Matt. He hung out with her until we were sure there was no more pooping to be done.
Mommy, sick with a cold and dry heaving like crazy (thanks to little Pickle), had the fabulous task of draining and bleaching the tub. Let's just say be glad you were not here!
The baby is now clean, dry, and in pjs. The tub is sparkling clean. All her bath toys are bleached and dried. Mommy is exhausted. Daddy just thinks the whole thing is funny. Wait until it's his turn to play 'fish the poop out of the tub'.....
