Pee Reports...
- Peeing in your own face while at the hospital.
- Peeing all down mommy's back and all over her pillow and sheets while trying to nurse.
- Peeing clear over your head and hitting the wall about 3 feet away during diaper change.
- Pee attack during diaper change right before mommy decides to pump which leads to an immediate bath which leads to mom leaking milk all over herself and you while helping with the bath.
- Peeing up mommy's arm and into her hair during a diaper change even while using a pee shield.
- Soaking your entire onesie and daddy's shirt but he continued to cuddle anyway for two more hours just so you wouldn't wake up.
- First pediatrician appointment at 4 days new peeing all over the exam table and yourself.
- Peeing through every single diaper your first week meaning laundry laundry and more laundry.
- Peeing/soaking daddy's shirt at least once or twice a day.
(Mommy and daddy were really glad when Everett's cord fell off so that his diapers finally fit leading to only pee attacks during diaper changes.)
