I laid there listening with a smile on my face for about 15 minutes and finally crawled out of the bed to go and get her. When I entered the room I was hit by a nauseating smell...and then when I walked close enough to the crib to look over the bumper pads and railing - - I SAW IT! She was covered from head to toe in vomit & poop...and not just a little spit up --- it was EVERYWHERE. And I will never forget the SMILE on her face. Of course, I was horrified and so stunned I literally didn't know where to start...I can look back now and laugh about that! Its been 12 years:)<br />I hope the rest of your day was better...and tonight, tomorrow and so on! The Lord bless you with peace and sweet rest! And laughter in the near future.<br />Love, Aimee PenceBaby Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305268115682653828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-47889648656397512642009-08-23T23:11:35.721-04:002009-08-23T23:11:35.721-04:00Sorry.

A funny story in return (I was not there so can enjoy the humor more...): my husband and I have taken to letting our 16 month old nap in just a T-shirt and diaper. Apparently, this was a bad idea, because on Friday, my husband went to get N. up from his nap and the diaper was around N.'s ankle. And there was poop...EVERYWHERE. Two hours later, N. and his room were clean again, and I was coming home from work!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083171991057163068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-25821745012418265832009-08-23T22:08:16.268-04:002009-08-23T22:08:16.268-04:00You wanna know another miracle?

Yes its an incredible blessing that he is here and loving live but why does he have to be hurting so very much. <br /><br />Although like you i wouldnt want to open a can of worms but i have a now 12 yr old who i had bumbers on his crib as a baby, although the risk of sids did worry me but unfortunatly for us the risk of josh hitting his head and developing a clot/stroke etc, was much higher than the risk of sids.<br /><br />I think it is all about the measured risk, for you the risk of vlisters and infection etc are much higher than the risk of sids so its about weighing the risks i believe and unfortuanly we all have to do it even if the people that are not using bumpers do not realise they too are weighing risks.<br /><br />They are choosing not to use the bumper and risking bangs to the head that could result in traumas etc but the risk of thier child dying from that trauma is low, our risk on that was very high so of course we had bumers to protect him as you also do.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing its lovely to read your triumps.<br /><br />MetteMette Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303182300395679842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-571895791925818632009-08-23T20:15:26.987-04:002009-08-23T20:15:26.987-04:00I'm glad sweet Jonah is okay.

(Even ER visits are now amusing: once my son busted his mouth open and required stitches on the inside of his lower lip...that cost $600 by the time all was said and done...and 15 minutes after he got them in, en route back home - he had them chewed out. Good thing the super-glue on the outside took, though.
