Return of the Exersaucer

Jackson and Sadie K. lent Oliver their Exersaucer now that Sadie has outgrown it. We suspected it would be a hit because Logan loved it. It was fun getting it back from them knowing it's now served all four kids. It takes a village, people!



I arrived home from my trip to find Ollie with a stomach bug. Daddy, Grammy and Grandad were heroic, managing multiple loads of laundry, diapers and a fussy Logan. Oliver alternates between being in good spirits (the Exersaucer could not have come at a better time to distract him) and being very upset when his fever spikes or when he's really uncomfortable.

We're at about 15 diaper changes a day and a similar number of onesies, because no diaper can really contain the onslaught of the Big D. We've actually had some limited success putting a size 3 on Oliver and then one of Logan's size 5's over it. The size 5 catches the overflow about half of the time, saving us an outfit change. We thought Oliver might be too hot or even get a heat rash from the double bagging, but he's been OK with it. Our carbon footprint is an embarrassment at this point with all of these diapers, but what can we do?

Notwithstanding the illness, the fellas had a great time with Grammy and Grandad.
