I'm laughing my butt off at the funny comments here!
- Martin. That's one that I had prepared for but there was plenty of "surprise" moments. That's why I always had the clean diaper on standby before removing the old one. It was ready to deploy at the second a leak was detected.
I hope you don't mind Jason but I just wanted to share a quick parenting story. This is one I'll be telling my grandchildren.
After spending the first ten days in the NICU with my little girl we were finally home with our new addition. Everything turned out fine at the hospital but it was a very stressful first ten days.
During those first couple of weeks after getting home, my wife & I were taking shifts feeding & changing. This one night around 3:am, it was my turn. After I fed her, it was time for the changing. All was going well and I was about to put the fresh diaper on. No number 2 so it was looking like a quick change & back to bed. Just as I was reaching for the clean diaper my precious little angel pulled her knees back to her chest, made what looked like an exaggerated, crooked smile, and this "glorious" greenish-brown stream projected out about 2', hit me in my leg and ran down to my toes!! My wife & I were so delirious by this point that all we could do is bust out into hysterical psychotic laughter!! We laughed so hard we cried!
Yeah, precious memories from the joys of parenting. I'm sure you will have a full share of your own ;-) .
I hope you don't mind me sharing this on your thread Jason.
