Explain to me...

I've heard it's good to quickly put a washcloth or cloth diaper over the penis as soon as you open the diaper, so there's not the change in temp. that makes them want to pee!

I've always done this. I did it not to stop the peeing, but to stop the peeing from ending up on me. My dad told me a story of my older sis when she was a baby peeing a perfect arc into his face so I have always covered for protection.

My daughter once managed to projectile pee on the dog.

The dog looked so pissed. (No pun intended.) In the way that a cocker spaniel could look pissed, I guess. But she should know better than to stand near elevated kids. My son once threw blueberry yogurt all over her.

and that my friends is why they invented the peepee teepee. available at www.uncommongoods.com

and I'm sorry I'll take anyone's pee in the face and and raise you one Giardia laden poopy diaper.

Horrific. To the point that my mother, the women who would throw herself in front of a bus for her Nikolai (they have a particularly special bond) would hold him at arms length and announce, "Nikolai needs to be changed."

And baby fever has dissipated....

And baby fever has dissipated....

Awwww - and I didn't even drag out my favorite Sophie experience.

One evening, Sophie pooed in the tub. Breast fed poo - very runny. While E cleaned out the tub, I held her snuggled in a clean towel.

She then proceeded to spit up on my arm. As I wiped that up, I noticed that my lap was awfully warm. And wet.

Good times.

Yeah, I wish I could claim that bodily functions deter the baby fever, but they don't.
I've been pooped, peed, ed and bled on - not scared.

Oh no!

Clearly I need more time. Maybe a couple of years

I don't bat an eyelid when it comes to cleaning cat vomit/litter box and countless other things I've seen on the farm but human vomit, poo what have you makes me sick.
DH, on the other hand won't go near it when the cat throws up. One day I was cleaning up a hairball and he starts making this gagging sound and runs from the room. Seriously, he's seen every bodily fluid that comes from a human and frequently gets spattered with blood and cat hairballs make him sick?? Now that's just being over-dramatic.

I'm one of the designated puke cleaner uppers here at work because it doesn't bother me- I mean it bothers me but I'm not going to start puking myself while cleaning.

Of course we have this slick stuff that you sprinkle on whatever body fluid we're dealing with and it dries it all up into a powder. Everyone needs a spill kit at home!

Ahhh, the trifecta. fun times.

how about changing a poopsplosion in the backseat of the car in the Target parking lot? That was my afternoon. At least I didn't get any on me!

Ok, so diaper related so I'm posting it here. A had a very nasty diaper after lunch this morning, I went to change her (out of a disposable) and realized whoever changed her at Bible study put her diaper on backwards.

WHY??????

Hahahaha! Well, I didn't really know it mattered which way was front or back until I took our newborn class!

The poop issues grow along with them. When they are first born, it's like cleaning the amount of a small mammal - maybe bigger than a guinea pig, not quite the amount of a cat. You get used to it as they grow. However if they are sick and things are not normal, OR you are pregnant it will be horrible! My older DD's poopy diapers first thing in the morning while I was pregnant definitely made me vomit a few times. Very fun mornings (while DH was at work of course).

Just as you get the hang of it and there are no accidents anywhere you start potty training and the real fun begins.

My grossest moment was when I was a nanny and I went to pick up the little girl from her nap. I pick her up and the next think I know, I have poop ALL over me. Somehow she had pooped so much it was in her armpits! It was a quick bath for her and a change of clothes for me!

another funny, non gross poop story:

My sister was at a family dinner and one of our distant cousin's three year old daughter was standing in the middle of the entry hall. My sister tells me she had a very concentrated look on her face and she was staring at nothing. So She goes up to her and says, What are you doing? And the little girl replies back. Trying to make a poop!

Anyone think its potty training time?
