It's amazing!

I FINALLY caught my first poo!!! Here's what happened...
We both woke up this morning. I went to the bathroom first. When I came back I started wondering if I should potty her also. I decided to try even though she'd been awake for a while.
When I went to start opening up her diaper I heard she was grunting and wondered if she was pooping. I open the diaper and find out she was! I waited til she had a pause and quickly picked her up and ran her to the bathroom (in hindsight, I could have just picked her AND the diaper up and take the dipe off when we got there). She finished over the toilet and I got a wipe to wipe her!
As I said, I don't recommend carrying a baby in the middle of doing number 2 with no diaper. I was so shocked that I just focused on getting her to the toilet! I'm sure things will calm down now and I'll be able to plan things better.
