Elmo goes down!!!

Like all new parents parenthood is a process with some experiences that are more memorable than others. If only this experience had a picture to go with it.

Wednesday July 13th we have to go the pediatrican's office for Madeline to get a weight check. She had a hard time feeding and gaining weight in the hospital and they wanted to make sure she was heading in the right direction. We all get there and the nurse takes us into one of the exam rooms. They tell us to take Madeline's clothes off and then meet them out at the scale. We complied and moments later brought our peaceful sleeping daughter to the scale. The nurse told us to take off her diaper so they could get a true weight, no extras to tip the scales. We comply and just as Jordan goes to take off her diaper Madeline decides that is the time to poop, projectile poop all over the scale, wall which was 2 feet away and covered Elmo. She then decided to pee on the scale and spit up. Jordan and I are just standing there beyond embarrassed that our sweet peaceful daughter just made this HUGE mess covering Elmo and destroying him forever in the process. The nurse assures us it is no big deal and these things happen all the time but the way she says it makes me think not really and we will be labeled as that family.
Just goes to show small children can make huge messes.
