Good morning!


So at 6:19AM Claire came into our room and said that Lucy (our 11 year old dog who sleeps in Claires room) needed to go out to go to the bathroom.  As Aaron mumbled and slowly started to roll out of bed, I can hear Lucy peeing on the floor.  Aaron cleans it up somewhat with a towel.  I suggest that maybe he should squirt a little cleaner of some sort on the spot to lessen the smell of dog urine in our bedroom.  It's gross, but we move on.

We get Claire and Aaron out the door to school and work.  Ava and I settle into our morning routine.  I shower while Dora babysits from the TV.  Tammy calls.  Then I hear this noise.  I know what it is, but am REALLY afraid to look.  I'm 31 weeks pregnant and the smell of what is to come scares me tremendously.  Lucy has thrown up (heaps of undigested dog food) in 2 spots in the hall outside my bedroom.  I call Aaron and suggest (not in my kindest voice) that he make the dog an appointment to see the vet (she's been acting funny since we went on vacation and she spent 8 days in boarding).  Dogs are gross.

Fast forward 30 minutes or so.  Aaron picks up the dog and as he leaves, the doorbell rings.  It's the housekeeper, that I tried to fire 2 weeks ago, showing up to clean the house.  I call Beth to translate the "...we don't need you to clean our house anymore..." even though this housekeeper DOES speak english but a some point when I asked her to vacuum the steps, she decided to only speak Spanish to me.

So that's over and Beth and I are talking about how the Spanish conversation went and Ava tells me her panties are yucky.  Potty training is also gross.

I do the only thing I can think to do.  I put a diaper on Ava (are you supposed to do that during potty training???) and head out to Target.

Not a great morning, but in the big picture, I have taken a shower, Ava had bath, the dog is not at home anymore, the house is both messy and dusty (but I have started the laundry) and I get to go to Target!  I'll take it over my previous life of sitting in my cubicle.  This is the thought that gets me through these really gross, stinky mornings!

About Us

www.LaBump.com was created by 3 sisters with the help of our mother, better known as “Amma” to all of our little ones. We believe that every woman should have access to fabulous maternity clothing and beautiful, gently used children’s clothing and gear. We spent years sending the same old box o’ maternity clothes back and forth to each other in an effort to share cute maternity wear among sisters. Finally, we concluded that there must be more women out there like us, looking for maternity clothing and gently used toys and items for their little ones. We started this site as a way to expand our own network and hopefully help other mommies do the same. As every smart mommy knows, one of the ultimate forms of recycling is recirculating gently used items for children and mothers. We have put a new spin on typical hand me down clothing by creating a network of women in your city who can buy sell and trade maternity clothing and accessories and gently used clothing, toys, and gear for our little ones.
