Too funny not to share

Ah ladies, yet another example of how pitiful men can be sometimes. So strong and macho, but something as simple as a little diaper can completely destroy any semblance of manliness they may have had. The really funny thing is that these are new dads and infant diapers really aren't all that bad. It's not until kids start on formula and solids that the diapers become a bit more... interesting.

Go here, in case the above doesn't work. I've been having some problems.



He he, even my dad who had seen lots of decay when he was in Vietnam, tells me he gagged the first few times he had to change one of these suckers.

This video is even more priceless, because Maurice has what I like to call fecal phobia and freaks out about anything poo related. He even tells me that he will get up in the middle of the night just so he doesn't have to change poopy diapers! Good deal, but we all know that won't last long on either end. I'll be awake anyway, being the food source, and at some point he's just going to have to suck it up and deal with diapers.

**Amazing side note: Can you believe that I've recently heard the excuse of a father with a new baby girl that he can't change her diapers because 'it's just not right' (cause she's a girl and it's somehow wrong for him to be looking down there on an infant -- HIS infant!). Apparently he's not the only guy to have tried this tactic.

Fortunately for Maurice, this diaper issue is still several years down the road. Aside from the fact that we don't want to even start trying for kids for at LEAST three years (probably more), I have recently found the best method of birth control avialable: watching your friends chase their toddlers around!!
I love kids, I love these kids, and I can hardly wait to meet the beautiful babies Reese and I will make, HOWEVER! An infant that doesn't run around is one thing. Watching two of my friends chasing their very mobile little ones around only makes me appreciate more the years ahead that I will have with just my husband. I don't understand people who want to get pregnant the second they getting married. Nine hormone filled and cranky months is not enough time alone with your new spouse!!

I'll wait a few years before I need to baby proof everything. I appreciate being about to leave the house without worrying about a diaper bag, not have to chase baby all over the place taking things out of his/her mouth, listen to the banging clanging beeping and wailing of all those damn toys, never be able to sit in one place for more than two minutes because said baby has gotten into something else, and to be able to finish a meal in one sitting for the same reason as the last. Not to mention having full night of sleep (I do love my sleep)!! Oh yeah, and being able to actually AFFORD children is quite a novel thought. All of my friends with little ones, married or not, can either barely afford to their cihldren, or are lucky enough to have their own parents footing the bill. Yikes!

So just another reminder to the love of my life: I love babies and want to have yours, but don't worry, it's quite a few years down the road.

PS: you're going to have to change poopy diapers eventually. Get used to the idea. :D
