Motherhood - how I went from this to this.
True story.
I was having a sandwich in the kitchen whilst watching the Godliness that is Kevin Sorbo - possibly the only "buff" male I find appealing - kicking Tia Carrere's pretty arse in Kull The Conqueror - and just when he's about to deliver the final blow, I get summoned back to the bedroom.
Morgan was up, needing a nappy change and to be fed.
*Fanfare* Supermum to the rescue!
Morgan had in store for me one hell of a shitty experience! I know, pretty graphical. But.. *points to blog's name* 'Nuff said.
Anyway. I had noticed her poop to be more liquid a few nappy changes ago, and kept a mental note to see if it happens again. Which it did. Now I'm looking forward to sunrise so that I can get in touch with a paediatrician and take her for a check-up. She has had a stuffy nose as well - which by itself isn't a cause for concern. Stuffy nose + explosive diarrhoea = a potential cause for concern.
Hopefully it isn't anything, and simply her body adjusting to the outside world.
We are now in the process of trying to extend the gaps between one feed and the next. We're averaging 4 and a half hours' gap now. Yay for more sleep!
We also received the stuff I ordered for her from Amazon using the gift voucher my aunt gave Morgan. We now have a fair bit more nappies for Morgan to turn into poopy masterpieces! The 3 Lamaze toys I ordered for her seem awesome - we'll see if she grows to like them! Just in case you're wondering which ones she now owns, here they are:
1) Sir Prance-a-lot: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518SsOiJezL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
2) Freddie The Firefly: http://www.nestingmode.com/uploads/product/12175374560.jpg
3) Gardenbug Foot Finder & Wrist Rattle Set: http://images.learningcurve.com/is/image/media/LC27111A_SH_A01?$detail$
Now that she's asleep again, I just might _try_ and have some "me" time again. In the meanwhile, enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_WGPgIOXXQ

The Silver Screen Issues
Yesterday evening I went to watch a really disappointing remake of Footloose at the cinema with two of my siblings and their partners. Besides from having extremely annoying guys sitting behind me whose ideal job would be Sports Commentators, as well as the movie sucking big time, there was one other thing I want to complain about.
This cinema in particular provides booster seats for children - that is something pretty awesome. Back in my day, we used to have to balance on the folded-up seat and try not to fall off it in order to be able to get a better view of the screen. The one thing this cinema does not provide, is a nappy changer.
At first I thought that it could be located in the disabled toilets, so I checked. Nope, no luck there.
Now I understand people rolling their eyes and thinking that a movie theatre is no place for babies. Fair enough. Potty training can start as early as when the child is 18 months of age. However, you still find 2 or 3 year olds in nappies when out/ Potty training is messy and a lot of parents don't want to risk accidents happening when out and about.
There is no minimum age limit to go to a cinema. After all, movies marked as Universal are appropriate for all ages. Why shouldn't a toddler be taken to a cinema? If they can sit still through a movie, why not? I just feel that a nappy changing facility would be appropriate to have if you're trying to have a young target audience amongst your clientele.
