What Exactly is a Blowout?

Main Entry: blow·out
Pronunciation: \ˈblō-ˌat\
Function: noun
Date: 1822

1 : a festive social affair
2 : a bursting of a container (as a tire) by pressure of the contents on a weak spot
3 : an uncontrolled eruption of an oil or gas well
4 : an easy or one-sided victory
5 : a valley or depression created by the wind in areas of shifting sand or of light cultivated soil

OR THIS:

I had to take a picture of his first blowout. Secretly, I had hoped that blowouts only happened to people who can't properly secure a diaper around a kid's legs. Now I know that either I am one of those people, or they do actually happen to everyone!

And by the way, it seems as if definitions 1, 2, & 3 all apply to this situation!

It happens to everyone. And, I think 4 counts, too. He won.

This is Tricia's reward for not having to change a poopy diaper for nearly 24 hours...

Yes, I meant 2, 3, & 4. Number one is hardly applicable.

Sorry, you commented on my blog asking who my son's surgeon is- Dr Morales at Primary Childrens- he was incredible! He doesn't say much, but we adore him and his work. he was so great for us. Your baby is so cute! I miss those little faces!

Welcome to our club! As a new member you get to clean up that mess!

The worst part though is when you get 3 or 4 in a day. Keep a bottle of shout out and laundry detergent by his changing table.

And never be afraid to just throw the clothes away. Somethings are not worth saving.

Finally, if he ever gets an ear infection, to avoid this situaion, give him yogurt with live active cultures or an acidophillious tabet in his bottle or mixed with food. Both will keep the good bactieria in his body working while the antibotic works.

Oh, I ment to say, break the acidophillous capsul up and dump the powder into whatever you're feeding him.

yeah, those are the worst. somethings diapers just weren't meant to contain!
