I am entering with the hopes of winning the shopping spree for my sister, Lacy, who is expected to deliver her baby boy on or around 9/10/10. I am already the mother to a fantastic daughter, Elise, who is 17mos old. There have been many fun, trying, and exciting moments that I've experienced as a Mommy, but this one still stands out as one of the funniest:
My funniest "Mommy moment" came shortly after I had given birth to my adorable baby girl. We were visiting my husband's mother, and were laughing about the challenge of diapering a baby boy versus a baby girl. My mother-in-law had both sexes (1 girl, 1 boy) and submitted that changing a baby boy was 10x harder than changing a baby girl. I laughed and had to agree because to that point, my daughter Elise had been a breeze. After a few minutes, the time came to change Elise's diaper, and my husband and I took her into the guest bedroom. She laid there like the sweet angel that she was, cooing and grinning at her Dad while I prepared to change her. As I pulled back the diaper, out shoots a spray of pee! I squealed and my husband started laughing as my mother-in-law ran into the room to see what the commotion was about. As I wiped myself off and prepared to trade out the now soaked diaper for the fresh one, the little doll then SHOOTS OUT poo, at a record-setting distance--all over herself, me, and the bed. I was in such shock that this occurred, and as a new and unexperience mommy, I didn't know what to do. My husband was of no help due to being in such a laughing fit he could barely breathe. I looked at my mother-in-law with horror and she looked back to me with a grin and sayed "well, I guess girls aren't as easy as I thought." Wasn't that the truth!?
