The other night Nick hurried home from work to play with Reagan. Within minutes, Nick was able to "feel" what having a baby is all about. First, he was holding Reagan on his shoulder, and the next thing I know he is telling me to bring a burp-cloth over QUICK! I thought it was one of her usual "little spit-ups", so I wasn't doing a lot of hurrying to get over to him. I figured he was freaking out, because he wasn't used to it yet. But when I got to him I realized he had every right to be upset. Reagan had thrown-up nearly her entire bottle, all down the front of Nick's dress shirt!
We got both Reagan and Nick cleaned up, and Nick (brave soul that he is), was sitting on our bed holding Reagan. Then I heard him say "There's something on my arm!", followed by: "now there's something on Reagan's blanket, and something on our comforter!". Reagan had totally "blew-out" her diaper, all over Nick.
Nick isn't to the point that he will only hold Reagan at arms length... Yet. I guess that is what unconditional love is all about. Loving and cuddling your baby, even after she vomits and poops on you.

Oh and it only gets better! Good Luck!!! May I highly recommend Pamper Swaddler diapers for your newborn. So worth the extra money at least for the first few months. Then I don't think it really matters. I go for generic once they hit size 2-3!
Long story Short! I met Nick's uncle today. (Dr. Dinger) Small world huh?
When they get older then they poop in the tub, pick it up and call it cookies. We don't think he ate any ...
brooke,
i found your blog through the mcdaniels blog, hope you don't mind if i peek into your life - you can peek in on mine if you want...
anyhow reagan is really super cute! congratts on finally getting her here, i know that the waiting isn't really all that fun.
btw: on your post about the pink and green elephant pjs- my 4 year old looks super cute in hers! maybe they should have only been made for little ones! haha
I agree with the Swaddler diapers...the only thing that didn't leak for the first few months!!!
Welcome to Parenthood! That is 2 funny, talk about a double wammy and welcome home Daddy! Plenty more super-poopers to come I'm sure!
Ethan hardly ever spit up, but mason has been vomit central. Even now 8 months old and on solids he still often will vomit.
If reagan is like mason you'll soon notice that you will be doing a lot more clothes laundry and not just hers but all of your cloting. and bedding, and carpet/floor cleaning. :-)
But it's all good.
yep..gotta love those swaddlers....i remember those days...most of my white shirts had formula stains..fortunatly for me all the "blow outs" happened with my hubby..he he
