10. Having your daughter pee a stream directly at you in the middle of a diaper change. (I thought only boys peed like that.)
9. Sucking boogers out of your baby's nose with a rubber suction bulb.
8. The stench of a rotting umbilical cord stump.
7. When said umbilical cord stump comes off on your wife's bare belly while nursing.
6. A poopy diaper that squirts out the diaper, up her back & soils her onesie.
5. Trying to decide if your bedroom smells more like dirty diapers or spoiled milk.
4. Struggling to remember the words to lullabies that you haven't heard in nearly 30 years ... at three in the morning.
3. Having your wife stop you on your way out the front door - not to kiss you goodbye, but to tell you that you're about to leave with a burp cloth on your shoulder.
2. Cleaning dried breast milk out of your baby's hair.
And, the number one, most unglamorous thing about having a two week old baby ... (drum roll)
1. Cleaning dried breast milk out of your WIFE'S hair.
Okay, I'm just now catching up. First of all, she is precious and I mean PRECIOUS. My sister's name is Anna...so of course the name is precious.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny because, although i didn't nurse, I felt like the spit up/formula smell would ALWAYS be in our house...the other day...literally (and Sam is two) I realized that the smell did, indeed, eventually go away. Such a cute and true post!
