Size 3 diapers.... HERE's WHY.

On Sunday, July 4th, we were in sacrament meeting at church. I had just got done feeding Taylor. She was sound asleep and Travis was holding her. She was being such an angel...and so we thought.
Note: We have a small ward and building. Since we live in a resort town on holiday's our building is extremely full. Sometimes we even have a church authority presiding the meeting. On this particular July 4th we had a member of the seventy there.
Towards the end of the meeting Taylor started stirring. Travis could feel her fill her diaper so he decided to go out in the foyer. I thought he left because she started getting fussy. Gavin decided to follow Travis out. As I was sitting there enjoying the moment with no kids I started smelling something funny, like baby poop. Sure enough, I look down and there was runny nursing poop on the ground. My heart sank. I grabbed wipes and started frantically cleaning the ground. It felt like all 400 plus people in the congregation were watching me clean poop off the ground. Meanwhile Gavin runs back in and says "Mommy, Daddy needs bum changing equipment fast." I hand him the diapers and wipes and he runs back out. I finish cleaning up the ground and run out of the chapel to see the damage. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. It was like a crime seen but with runny poop. Travis was pacing the hallway trying to find a room. The bathrooms were full and all the rooms were being used by nursing mothers. (REMEMBER our church building is way small) I looked at him and started laughing. I was trying not to laugh but I couldn't control myself. He couldn't see how bad it was because he was holding Taylor across his body. He had no idea that he had a big pile of poop around his crotch area and down both of his legs dripping off his shoes. I was laughing so hard I was crying. We finally found a room and started cleaning things up. I cleaned Travis up the best I could. It looked like he wet his pants. He couldn't leave because he had to meet with the stake presidency right after church and we live 20 minutes from home. It is safe to say that we were through with church for the day. I packed up the kids and headed straight home.

The next day I took Travis's suit to the dry cleaners. Try to explain a big spot on the crotch of a man's suit. Let's just say it didn't go well. I tried to explain to her that we had an accident with our child. I think she thought I was full of crap. She looked at me real funny, didn't say a word while she marked the spot on the pants. I just turned around and walked out. I got into the car and was laughing so hard.

We're still shocked that this little girl could have so much poop in such a little body.
