And what did YOU do before 7am?

I told Eric last night as we were going to bed that yesterday was the first day in a whole month that I hadn't changed Eli's outfit or my outfit at least twice. What a milestone, huh? I shouldn't have spoken so soon, however, because this morning more than made up for the relatively "clean" day we had yesterday...

5:00am- Mommy feeds Baby and put back to sleep, rejoicing in the fact that he will most definitely sleep until at least 7:30am.
6:05am- Baby begins to fuss. Mommy rolls over in bed and tries to ignore the noise, hoping he will fall back to sleep.
6:10am- Fussing continues.
6:15am- Fussing turns into crying and can no longer be ignored. Mommy sadly rouses herself from sleep and goes to soothe Baby, refusing to give in to 6:15am awakening.
6:25am- Baby finally back to sleep. Upon tucking blankets snug around baby, Mommy notices a strange dampness that cannot be identified in the semi-darkness of the nursery. Mommy assumes this is only a little leaking of the diaper that can be dealt with later and goes, joyfully, back to bed.
6:30am- Baby crying. Mommy frustrated and sad and so very sleepy. Mommy goes to tend to baby.
6:35am- Upon closer examination, "little dampness" is identified as "major wetness." Wishing she had changed Baby's diaper at 5am, Mommy picks up Baby to change what she believes is a wet diaper. When picking Baby up, is shocked to find the entire bottom half of Baby soaked in poopy wetness, along with every linen in Baby's crib.
6:40am- Baby stripped, bathed, re-diapered. Mommy picks up Baby and pats his back, only to unleash large burp which is followed closely by copious spit-up.
6:42am- Baby re-stripped, re-bathed, re-clothed, and sitting happily in bouncy seat. Mommy, covered in spit-up, deals with poopy mess all over nursery.
6:48am- Mommy changes clothes, starts laundry, scrubs stains, and listens to Baby talking happily to frog balloon.
7am- Baby eats bottle and falls asleep. Mommy begins daily coffee intake.

*I tried to capture in the above picture both the frog balloon and Eli staring at it. It's not that good of a picture, but it's the best I could do. He LOVES this balloon. He is absolutely enthralled by it. He just sits there and stares at it and talks to it and laughs. It's precious, and a good way to keep him entertained while I take a shower!
