Poopin for a livin
Well now we are adjusting to a baby. I now understand when they say they are a lot of work. Apparently little Brennon has day and night confused. He sleeps most of the day and is up most of the night. Holly is taking to the role of the mother rather well as she gets up to take care of him. Since I have to work it makes sense.
Now Brennon also takes after his dad by being a big eater. Right now he is kind of going back and forth from formula to milk. It is like he still is hungry. Testament to that is the big mess he always leaves behind ;-) And yes, yours truly does change diapers. I often wonder how such a small baby can make such a big mess. I have already found that wearing latex gloves and using hand sanitizer helps me separate from the mess. I think what gets people is when they open the diaper and they actually look at the entire mess. The reality is that you don't have to do that. The second after you untape the diaper you can use the top of it to start wiping downwards thereby restricting the view of such grossness.
Of course people tell me that it does get worse, but I think I will be able to handle it. Remember, I've got a scuba mask in the garage if things get bad. Even spit-up is just milk that fell out of his mouth. I think I can handle these messes from a baby, its when he turns into a toddler and kid that I will probably start freaking out. For now I am a diaper changing daddy and Brennon is poopin for a living.
