Silly Parent #5
Poop oh my gawd!!! POOOOOOOOP!! POOOOOP ON MY NOSE!
I should just end the post there but I guess I’ll explain. Note to self: make sure you put the diaper on the baby tightly and not crooked. Or else she’ll be sitting in your lap taking a poop when you’re all alone. And you’ll think wow it’s warm on my hand…and um on my lap. Oh my gawd the poop came out onto my hand, onto my nightgown, and onto my robe!
So what did I do? Luckily there was a piece of tissue close at hand. I wiped the poop off my hand as best I could with the tissue. But then as I was wadding it up it sort of snapped back and poop came flying towards my face. It was like in a movie. Everything was moving in slow motion and I could see it coming towards my face, this little wetness that had just come out of Isabelle’s butt. And then bam! It landed on my nose. GAWD!!! POOP ON MY NOSE!!
Yeah…that’s all I have to say about that. Let us never mention it again.

I can say that in four years and three babies I have never gotten poop on my nose, but I’ll tell you a story to make you feel better about this incident.
I ended up having a c-section with my first baby. I was still hooked up to all the various things that need to be hooked up to you after a c-section. I had my daughter and was nursing her. As she was nursing she pooped, that meconium newborn poop that is really dark. It came out of her diaper ending up on my nursing bra.
As I was not able to move well, the bassinet full of wipes and diapers was right next to me. I got the diaper and reached for the wipes only to knock them to the floor. I could not get up yet to get them. I rang for the nurses. No one came. I rang again now that the poop was on my sheets and my hospital gown.Inwe, however, had no problem with this goo all over her. After the third ring I realized that either my button was broken or that the nurses had some emergency and couldn’t get to me. I used my hospital gown to clean up Inwe and tossed it on the floor. The nursing bra was still gross, but I was not going to sit completely naked waiting for a nurse (or worse, one of my husband’s co-workers at the hospital) to come in.
