The #1 reason why you should always use a changing pad

Posted by Isabel on February 15th, 2007. Filed under: I Rock, My Sweet Babboo.

After I get myself ready in the morning, I wake Babboo up. I like to get him dressed in our bed. That way he can stay warm in the covers while I’m changing his diaper and putting his clothes on. Plus The King likes to snuggle with him for a bit.

Every morning I’m afraid he’ll pee while I’m in the middle of changing his diaper. But he never has.

Until this morning.

You know what’s awesome? (And by awesome, I mean not awesome.)

He totally pissed on my side of the bed. And since I was running late for work, I just left it there with the intent of cleaning it up when I got home from work tonight. But then I forgot about it and sat in it a few minutes later.

I totally sat in someone else’s pee. My butt was all wet. With someone else’s pee.

The awesomest part?

Yeah, I didn’t change my pants. Whatever, I was in a hurry. And it will dry, eventually.

And that, my friends, is the kind of day I’m having.

(For something a little more romantic-ish and less pee-ish, you can see my latest post over at my other blog.)

    When I was a teenager, and my youngest sister Donna was about four, she loved to get out of bed in the middle of the night and crawl under the covers next to me. Sometimes she peed the bed, and while I always put her in fresh clothes, sometimes I just tried to sleep around the wet spot and deal with the sheets in the morning. Which often left me with a wet butt, too.

    Here’s hoping your day gets better!

    BWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHH HA HA! I’m sorry but that is just tooooooo funny! At least it was Babboo’s pee and not some random person. Although, if you have random people peeing in your bed, you’ve got bigger issues.

    What’s up, pee pee butt?
    Hi. I’m 34.

    As long as you weren’t feeding him asparagus last night, I guess I am ok with this. Because you were wondering whether I approved or not.

    Total bummer….I’m sorry about your wet bum, but hey, at least it was Babboo’s pee pee and not a strangers! Ew.

    This has happened to me also, and I’m sure plenty of other Mom’s out there!

    Here’s to a dry butt!

    Eek, did you smell strangely like urine today?

    HAHAHAHAHA! (I laugh because I’ve been there.) (When Jack was really tiny I set his poopie diaper on the corner of the bed. Then sat on it. Poop.) (I? Had to change.)

    I totally wouldn’t change for pee either. Baby pee doesn’t really have that funky awful smell yet, and like you said, it dries.

    Ten years ago you never could have convinced me I would be having this conversation, and that I would consider it a legit conversation to boot.

    Definitely not the best start to the day. Hope your day got better afterwards!

    It’s ok. There was a spot of Shaun’s dogs pee on the floor and I stepped in it. Just a little bit, and I was running late for school, so I had to wait ’til after school to change my socks. Yep, you’re not alone. :)

    Well, at least it was the pee of one you love…. I guess.

    That has happened to me so many times. Now that we are potty training replace bed with sofa, chair, carpet, really any surface and there you have it. Life at the Bunny Farm.

    Eeek! Yuck! Sorry about that. :)

    Got to your site after seeing your post at Heather’s place. Very entertaining. :)

    Wow, I’m surprised you’ve never been hit by the firehose before! That’s an excellent track record. I’ve gotten it in the eye from my nephew more times than I can count! You must share your secrets!

    I would have done the same thing. What’s a little pee between a mother and son?

  16. Hilary

    Meh. If anyone else had peed on your bed and you sat in it and didn’t change, I might have to say something. If I sat in Babboo’s pee, I might need to change. But it’s you and Babboo. No biggie. I probably wouldn’t have changed if I sat in one of my kids pee.

    Gah. Been there. Nothing like someone else’s cold pee on your butt.

    I guess it’s different when it’s your own kid’s pee…I can relate.
