| Well that's no fun! |
That’s
right, when a new baby enters your life you are sometimes guilty of too much
information when talking about some of the daily (and not so daily) occurrences
of living with a newborn. Well, even though I am risking the ire of my son when
he gets a little older, this is the time when I will share some of those
interesting moments. It may not be every week but it will certainly be on a
regular basis and I am sure that there will be plenty of information, too much
in fact, to share. Welcome to TMI Tuesday…
My
wife and I have spent the last couple of days trying to get our heads around
what has happened and all the changes in our lives. There have been times when
our room seemed to have a revolving door and others when we were able to take a
few breaths between the family and medical professionals walking in and out of
the room. Of course there have also been a few entertaining moments in between
as well.
One
of the things that I am having to learn is how to change a diaper. My wife,
with her previous work experience, is much more familiar with the process and a
heck of a lot more efficient too. However, my skills at this point are
virtually nonexistent. With that said, there have already been times when we
both had to stand back and laugh at what had transpired.
A
perfect example of this was earlier today when baby released a rather robust colonic
announcement leaving us no alternative than to take him to his crib and see if
I was improving at all in my changing abilities. While things seemed to be
going much faster and I was upsetting him just a little less, it didn’t take
long before baby let us know that we can’t expect each changing to go smoothly.
Shortly
after we finished wiping everything off, with his rear high in the air, a
steady rain began falling around our son. Yeah, we missed that part of the changing
process. With a fresh sprinkle of tinkle across his chest and on his face, we
grabbed a handful of wipes and cleaned him off again while trying our best to
control the nearly crippling laughter that had resulted from the stream. Thankfully
baby didn’t really think twice about it and we were soon getting some new clean
clothes on him. We are sure that this is only the first of any and that it will
probably stop being funny in the future but this time we really needed the
laugh.
