Blowout at Target

Emery and I ran to Target this afternoon for some light grocery shopping and summer clothes for Emery (who could actually walk into Target and not buy baby clothes??). Anyway, we were in the kids area and all of a sudden I hear ... well ... a "wet fart". It was sick. I honestly looked around thinking, "that's going to be sick to clean up". Then I realize that nobody was around us. I decide to touch Emery's bottom to see if I feel anything (all Mom's use the smell the butt or feel the diaper for lumps, right?). Nope, feels clean, but warm. I then look in the back side of her diaper. She has bright green, runny poo coming up the back of her diaper. SICK!

I honestly was a little in shock and not sure what to do. For those of you who don't know, Emery is terrified of the baby changing stations in public restrooms. She refuses to lay down, fights the entire diaper change and it's a complete nightmare. I considered leaving my groceries and going home to change her but then realized that I would have to buckle her into the carseat and that would for sure make a bigger mess that I really didn't want to clean up.

So, we head to the bathroom. I was really stressed and actually breaking a little sweat from the stress of having to change a nasty diaper in a public restroom. We get into the bathroom, Emery STANDS on the changing station and I take her shorts off. I was sure to investigate the situation before removing the diaper. Luckily, it wasn't a lot of poo, but it was for sure bright green and runny and STINKY! So, I remove the diaper, wipe her bum and put a new diaper on her, all while she's standing up. So, we survived the mini-blowout at Target and went on with our shopping. Not one of my funnest Mommy moments.
