You'd think by my 3rd kid I'd be an expert diaper changer.
People warned me about boys... But I had no idea.
I'm constantly changing Bucket's onesies thanks to diaper changes.
It doesn't make it easier that the girls crowd around and laugh as Bucket cries.
Then the other day, as another fountain was spraying, Princess Sparkles yelled,
"It went in my eye!"
I know it's wrong to laugh at your children but I couldn't help it.
Neither girl stands around as much now when I'm changing diapers.

| Bucket: "Watch out! I have great aim!" |
I always forget, the challenge isn't wearing cute maternity clothes but finding outfits to wear afterwards while nursing. You can't just wear a dress, it has to be button down, a cardigan or two pieces. And I almost always wear a nursing tank because, well, it's just easier. And like Bucket, thanks to his fountain, I too seem to have my share of outfit changes!

Oh, Claire, your stories about the kids are just hilarious! I love them!
Feeling a tinge of baby fever over here. :) Nursing is tough to dress for. I just wore tent-y things because I could kind of put the baby up there and it would all be hidden AND because my gigantic bosoms couldn't fit in much else. Heh.
You look fantastic. How's 3? Harder than the switch from 1 to 2 or easier?

congratulations claire, i've been wondering how you've been. glad to know you & your bucket are ok. he is adorable! you look wonderful. :)
You look great, Claire! Not "you look great for just having a baby" great but great, period.
You know what's funny? I always heard the boy pee-pee stories and neither one of mine ever peed on me! However (TMI) my 4 year-old didn't make it to the potty the other day and informed me rather solemnly that "I got a litttttttle bit of poo on the floor." Turned out to be a lot bit, not a little bit. Oh, kids.
you look great and bucket is adorable
Oh you're back! I was just thinking about you! You look so amazing for everything that you've just been through...definitely inspiring! Liking that yellow sweater a lot! Hope to see you very soon!

i always hated that period of time (clothing-wise) when nursing. i always looked like a beached whale! you on the other hand look amazing! i am loving your boots!
I think you look great! And "bucket" is too cute for words, even if he is dangerous! :)
I love the yellow cardi, and poor princess sparkles! ahahah.

OH CLAIRE!!! HE IS PRECIOUS!!! I just had to write that in all caps too...there was no other way! I just want to scoop him up and cuddle him!
Congratulations to you and your whole lovely family. I cannot imagine what wonderful sisters those two sweet girls of yours are. What a blessed mama you are:)
You are looking fabulous too, by the way. You rocked your entire pregnancy and I'm sure you'll rock your postpartum/nursing phase also:)
I hope everything's going to be solved with that fountain, hehe. at least it's positive the girls don't laugh anymore ;)
your outfit is lovely btw! I like yellow sweaters.

Your stories are hilarious!! The girls needs some rain gear if they are going to be that close during changings. :-)
Jayme & Mendi @ Her Late Night Cravings
omg, i know! i can't even tell you how many changes we went thru in a day...not only with the onsies, but sheets, too! remember to point that thing DOWN so there's no leakage!! i invested in big waterproof changing pads, and years later when shopping for my cousin, i found that they have pee wee tee pees (or something like that) that covers IT while changing diapers. it's supposed to prevent those fountains!
[oomph.]
CONGRATS ON THE LITTLE BAMBINO!! I'm so happy for you.

You look so glowing and your baby!!! So beautiful! I hate transitional dressing the nine months after a baby, sooooo ready for my non pregnant clothes and dresses!! Can't wait for dresses, but you make looking good seem easy.
