My grand return to the world of exercise this morning (i.e. a one-mile walk around the park pushing Ellie in the stroller) didn't go quite as planned.
It took about 45 minutes to get both of us ready. Ellie waited until she was fully strapped into the car seat before she wet her diaper, which I had just changed 10 minutes earlier. Then we had to get the stroller out and I had to figure out how the car seat fit into it. Finally we were on our way. About a two blocks from home, Ellie started screaming. Upon further investigation, I discovered she had a poopy diaper that was so full it was coming out the sides of her clothes and into the car seat!
We turned around and headed toward home. Ellie screamed the entire way and there wasn't anything I could do to calm her down. As we pulled back into our driveway, she fell asleep. Glad the "workout" tired one of us out.
Oh well, maybe tomorrow will be a better day for the park. In the meantime, the car seat cover is being washed. Eww.
On a positive note, we went to the pediatrician for Ellie's 2 week checkup this morning and got a glowing report. Ellie is up to 8 lbs, 11 ounces and she's grown to 21.5 inches. Such a big girl!
Too funny... mostly because I remember it so well and can completely relate! It gets easier! Now it only takes us 20 minutes to get ready! :)
