Smells like buttered popcorn to me too. I miss the heck out of it! My two year old doesn't smell that pleasant. What a blessing to have a kindred spirit of sorts there with you!

Well done for getting to St. Louis. You are brave, and I know you'd do anything to see your parents. But I run those scenarios, too, and I'm glad you were as prepared as you were. I'm sure you appeared super-cool.
I once had a lady in an airport offer me $10 for a diaper and some wipes. I had stacks of them. Because on the previous trip I had run out after a day-long delay. OJ all day in the airport bar had done terrible things to my baby's bottom. The airline provided free booze at the bar, but no food. Lovely! I was 8 weeks pregnant and desperately sick at the time. Hate flying since then. Anyway, I had the blessing of giving this poor mom two diapers with the joy of knowing I still had 20 more in the outside pockets of every carry-on bag.
Enjoy every minute with your parents, that food and your precious poop-monster. There's a Jewish blessing (to fill the quota of 100/day/adult) thanking God for the 'tubes and passages that should be open being open'. Ever works!!!

Would I sound weird if I confessed I miss the smell of baby poo... because that would mean there's a baby in the house?! ;)

One time I was flying from Chicago back home for a quick visit with the family and my 4month old baby.

He puked all over the man sitting next to us when we took off.

That dude was flying to Hawaii.

I have traveled a few times with babies, being the mother of 7. I remember the time I exited the plane with a large lovely smear of yellow across my white capris. I too forgot the outfit to change the baby, so he was just in a diaper. :\ Mommyhood is the best!!!

My sister and I say that breast milk poop smells like buttery popcorn! People look at us like we are crazy. I'm glad we aren't the only ones.

2010-08-20T00:54:53.745-06:00

Lol! I suggest wearing a rain poncho for your next flight. Or make that full rain gear.

The joys of sweet babies! Got to love them and their poo. :o)

2010-08-20T00:54:15.665-06:00

I'm literally laughing out loud because I happen to be a lactation consultant and "buttered popcorn" is the exact term I use to describe that smell. I cannot STAND the microwave popcorn aisle at the grocery store anymore...big ol' row of poop to me!

Is it horrible that when I have babies I'm going to keep some latex gloves on hand to deal with explosive diapers? I have a really bad gag reflex!

2010-08-19T22:40:11.071-06:00

I've had those poopy clothes moments myself with one of the 3 boys. One time I had dried breastmilk poop on my jacket and didn't know it until later. And another time I lifted the baby's butt to my nose to check- and then I got a big ol' wet surprise on my face- which was poop that had leaked out onto his clothes. Gross? Yes.

Your buttery popcorn part had me laughing so hard but quietly so I don't wake my hubby sleeping next to me. It would have been hard to explain it to him had I had woken him up. :)

Oh, the poopie stories, they truely define being a parent! It's these at-the-time crazy situations that eventually become fond memories! Kudos on being a prepared mom!

I remember stephanie telling me once (she and I were in New Jersey together) that newborn poo smells like buttered popcorn. I have yet to change one such diaper without thinking of her and her positive spin on just about everything. Thanks for sharing this story!

Skunk. My breastfed baby poops only twice a week, so when she does it smells exactly of skunk. Great post! I'm always up for a poop blog post. ;-)

OH I have smelled the butter popcorn diapers! In fact my little guy Dax's diapers ALWAYS smelled like buttered popcorn. When anyone makes buttered popcorn in the microwave I gag now because all I think about is Dax's diapers. Glad you got to sit by a very nice lady!

2010-08-19T21:15:40.347-06:00

Ha! You won't read this comment cuz you've aleady got 108 waiting for you (!!) but this post was so freakin' hysterical. Reminded me of my flight from Portland to Anchorage with 3 kids under the age of 5 and my youngest having 3 blowouts on the plane. It was horrible! And I was alone. Not fun. however, we were blessed (or just lucky?) to sit next to wonderful people who took care of each of my kids and didn't mind the yellow poop smeared all over the back of the plane (totally serious). My husband quit his job as a pilot, so we no longer fly for free (sad), but I also have learned that flying across the country with 3 little kids by myself (from VA to CA eight times in one year) is NOT worth the insanity. Okay, long comment. Good bye.

2010-08-19T20:35:28.521-06:00

Here is a funny for you that came to my mind when I was reading your comment from "Rene" who refers to her uncle, "Elder Egen"--you don't need to approve it for your comments, I just thought it might give you a chuckle!

I should start out by telling you that I am not Mormon. I grew up in the country outside of a small town, poulation 383, and there was not a Mormon population in our area.
Fast-forward to present time. I live in yet another small town, population of about 2,000. We have a temple in our town and there are several Mormon families that are my neighbors and friends. Even so, I found I was still quite ignorant of the Mormon faith one Sunday afternoon.
I work at a local hospital and I am on call for my job. That weekend had been quite busy, and I had spent the better part of Saturday night / early Sunday morning at the hospital. By Sunday afternoon, my husband had taken the kids on an adventure to give me the house to myself so I could get some sleep. I was in a deep, deep sleep when the doorbell rang. I staggered to the door and opened it to find two nicely dressed young men on my porch. They introduced themselves and explained they were there to share their faith. As they stood there smiling at the wild-haired, glassy-eyed woman who answered the door, I glanced at their name tags. The only coherent sentance that came out of my mouth was, "Hey! Isn't that a weird coincidence that you are both named 'Elder'?"
As those young men left my porch that day, I can only imagine they said some prayers for what they could only assume was the disheveled, hung-over woman who lived in the house on Second Street.

2010-08-19T20:15:55.139-06:00

HI I live in St. Louis and I have a 3 yr. old son and a 6 month old daughter. One of the best places to bring them in the area is about 30 minutes away from downtown in Grafton Illinois to a restaurant called Finn Inn. It is a very kid friendly restaurant that specializes in fish. But the big attraction is that all of the walls contain really large aquariums with Mississippi river fish and giant snapper turtles. So this totally entertains the kiddos while you eat. And the food is really good too. And the drive is beautiful along the Mississippi River. Take the Brussels Ferry across the river on the Way back to St. Louis- that is cool. On the way over into Illinois you can take the Alton suspension bridge which is cool too. Be sure and do this if your son comes with you next time-he will love it, mine sure does.
