We are a little over 5
months into this whole fatherhood journey.
There are many things the books, blogs, and people did not warn me
about. I mean when we found out we were
having girls there was the normal “uh oh you are going to have your hands full” or the "oh man what are you going to do when the boys start coming?" First of all, yes our hands are full. Second of all,
No one, I
mean no one informed this clueless father that he should be prepared for pee
attacks while changing diapers. I have always heard of the horror stories of
little boys but, come on! I am truly
worried anytime I am changing diapers or even taking them to the bathtub. I can say that I have yet to be peed on. I have flirted with disaster a couple of times. Meghan on the other hand has not been so
lucky. Ava has a track record for peeing
on Mommy!!! (haha)
The other
night I was feeding Ella and she had just finished her bottle so I was burping
her like a good Father! J Little did I know Ella was not going to make
this easy for me. She looked me straight in the eyes, like she was staring into my soul; she smiled, and
then proceeded to vomit on my face and neck.
When that happened I was frozen with fear and straight up dumbfounded. When she puked on Meghan I thought it was hilarious. When the shoe is on the
other foot, not so funny. . . Thankfully my wife is forgiving and kind. She
came over without even laughing at me and took Ella so I could go clean up.
(The reason you have partners…when bodily functions go rogue, you need a buddy
system!)
Another bodily
function I was not prepared for was the ungodly smell that emits from my
perfect angels diapers when they release the demons. (So to speak) Meghan thinks
this is funny but, when I take the girls in to change poopy diapers the girls
and I have conversations guessing how many wipes it will take to clean their
tushy. So far the record is 5 wipes, and let me tell you my brother in law Kevin
and myself have gagged from the smell many times.
I apologize that this is not an endearing and lovey dovey post like my first one but, hey
everyone needs good bodily function story every now and then! All joking aside, I've learned a lot about being a Dad already, the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's all part of this crazy ride we are on, and we are loving' it!
