Sun and I dropped CS off at the airport and came home. I put Sun down for a nap, continued reading Harry Potter, then gave Sun a bottle. As she was sucking away, I could hear and feel her stomach churning. Finally, I thought, she’ll get some relief. Introducing formula into her system has had her a little stopped up.

After she finishes eating, I put her in the bouncy chair (borrowed from Southern Mom). Then I sit down to my microwaved frozen meal. Then I hear Sun’s relief. She continues to bounce. I finish eating and pick Sun up to change her diaper. Poop is EVERYWHERE. The poor bouncy chair! I change plans and place Sun on the bathroom floor to prepare to bathe her. I get her onesie off and then remove her diaper as the water comes to the right temperature. Even had she been in a Depends, she’d have blown out of the diaper. So much poop for such a small baby!!

She enjoyed her bath (after being hosed down by the faucet) and fell fast asleep once she was re-dressed and put down. I then did a load of laundry and am delighted to have removed all stains!!

Now as bad as my start without CS sounds, as I was feeding Sun, CS called to tell me he had been on the tarmac for over an hour with his plane getting work done on it. That type of thing–all that nasty, warm recirculated air for an indefinite period of time in a cramped space–puts me over the edge. So, I am not sure who’s having a more difficult time, CS or me. At least my initial episode is behind me, and CS still has five hours of flying to go.
