Diaper Bags

I don't embarrass easily. Really I don't. Often I'll joke around and say "I'm so embarrassed!" but really I just think things are funny.

I was very embarrassed today.

When Joshua was born, we were the newbie parents and doing our best to keep track of how often he ate, when we changed his diapers and we were sure to make it to his doctor's appointment. His first appointment was at 2-3 days old just so the pediatrician could check him and make sure he was doing well. When we got there, we realized that we didn't have his diaper bag which included his diapers, wipes and most importantly, his bottle with food. Since we figured we wouldn't be there too long, we just went on in to the appointment without going back for it. We were in the waiting room for over an hour before they called us back and by then, the poor kid was just wailing because he was so hungry.

We later laughed it off and thought of it as "Oh, we were just so new at being parents that we forgot". Haha its over.

Guess who got to their appointment today without the diaper bag? Not only that, but I actually REMEMBERED to pack the bag as we were laughing about our first parenting experience when we forgot it. Here we are with our 2-year-old son and infant daughter, no diapers, bottles, toys or changes of clothing.

When we were supposed to change her down to a dry diaper to check her weight? No diaper.

When she started fussing because she was hungry? No food.

When she peed ALL over herself and her outfit? No clothes.

I think if I do it with our future third child, I might quit...
