5 am feedings

So Molly is now pretty consistent with eating at 5am. I think 3am is easier than 5am since I can go back to sleep for a few hours instead of an hour but hey she likes the 5am hour. I think she takes after her dad on the early morning thing. Of course, he sleeps thru it all these days. But not this morning. He jumped out of bed to get her at 2:15 when she woke up but I already had her feeding when he did that-nice delayed reaction! Like I said she normally doesn't wake up until 5 but with her shots yesterday she wasn't feeling so good and needed extra loving. After her initial long sleep of 7+ hours, she'll wake up 3 hours later and than 2 hours until she is ready to play. So at 5am, I thought she was ready for a diaper change after I fed her. So I got all set up and peeked in the diaper to find a barely wet one. Disappointed that I risked fully waking her up while changing the diaper for not much, I removed the old diaper just in time for her to start to pee. I quickly put the old diaper back under to catch most of it. When I thought she was done, removed the old again and was getting the wipe to clean her up when.....she peed a gallon more and pooped everywhere! yup, no diaper under her. So here I am with very little light on to see anything and a girl laying in her own pee/poop who is now fully awake. Dad still sleeping. I promptly woke him up for help! oh yeah, ran out of wipes in my dispenser at the same time. Needless to say I had to go to her room for new clothes, changing pad cover and more wipes. Floyd got her dressed while I cleaned up the mess. We then had an awake baby at 6am and a grabby mommy. I think we all fell back to sleep just in time for the alarm to go off. Thank goodness we haven't had one of those diaper changes in awhile. What a way to start the day. She is feeling better from yesterday. I think it is time for us to take a walk in the beautiful sun.
