Today I Was Peed On

Which, as a mom of twins, is a fairly common occurrence, considering...

However, this was in public, at the doctor. And it went everywhere.

You may not know this, or have experienced this yet, but when you take your baby to the pediatrician, they have to be stripped naked to get their weight. Well, we thought we had the hang of this activity, but my daughter, apparently, had a different perspective on the situation.

I know the feeling. A warm, wet (obvs), sensation that quickly spreads around my midsection, where I'm balancing them on my hip. This commonly happens when going from the changing table to the bathtub at home, and is usually a fraction of an ounce.

NOT THIS TIME. This was my daughter completely emptying her bladder, all over me, my duster cardigan, my t-shirt, my jeans, in my shoes, it somehow soaked my bra and my underwear at the same time. There were TWO puddles on the floor and the paper liner they put on the examine table was now cemented to the pleather surface. How did she have this much pee at the ready?!

So aside from the obvious feeling of embarrassment from my daughter creating a mess that really merited a mop and towel, I was drenched, in pee. It stank, and after a short while, got cold. This made it difficult to focus throughout the appointment. Luckily everyone's health is great and my husband was there to take notes.

All this to say. I learned something today. Not only is it a good idea to have a days worth of diapers and wipes on hand in your diaper bag, and a couple pairs of outfits for your kids, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to have a spare set of clothes for yourself in your diaper bag. I know I will at least be adding in a t-shirt for myself. Maybe some leggings that can be folded nice and compact as well. Good grief was it a humbling, learning experience. And for god's sake, don't forget to carry a towel.
