The First Time He Hath Peed On Us

Something that I was really hoping my son would never do to me was pee on me. I know it is hilarious when you see it and hear about it, but it is not fun when it actually happens to you the first time. I was able to dodge it and caught it in a receiving blanket, my face showed relief and my son had his signature single dimple smile. My husband was not so lucky. This evening for the first time Baby E decided not to pee on my husband in a spray but he peed through his Huggies diaper on my husband. Baby E-1, Husband-0! At first I think it is the most disgusting thing and want to grimace but my husband and I after being stressed, and dead tired laughed. Compared to what we are going through right now in our lives a little pee is no biggy.

What did you consider a big baby deal prior to becoming parents? Potty Training? Throw up? Embarrassing tantrums?

Now things like that us are just plain old normal.

High Maintenance Baby Alert

Every baby is fussy to an extent. Every parent knows this or learns very quickly. My son has begun the fussy stage when I am not around, to the despair of our baby sitters. He dislikes when I am not around I am told but honestly I think my son is just high maintenance.

He screams bloody murder when he is hungry, and when he drops his binky- Mr Binky to family, on the floor. It’s like God just denied him Boobs for life. The moment his diaper line on his Huggies turns from yellow to blue he must have it off. We discover today that when a Kirby steamer salesman was demonstrating for us nifty things that the sound puts him to sleep. I believe this is called “white noise”. My son does not like to have his hood or hat cover his eyes, but when a blanket is tossed over his carrier he is perfectly fine. And the worst, when he is out into his car seat it’s as though we tried to murder him. The solution for this last one is easy but hard on my arms- I need to literally swing him back and forth. How high maintenance can he be?!?!

I know babys only have one form of communication really before they start cooing, smiling and laughing- which he has started to do. It’s the crying that get me. I’m still hormonal and this just tears at my heart that I think there’s something wrong. Unfortunately the closest thing I can compare learning a baby’s cries to is the bark of a dog. I had dogs growing up and we learned when they needed to go to the bathroom, were bothered, wanted something or in some cases needed more water. I do believe my son is high maintenance for the most part. I just hope that does not carry on into his childhood. Does anyone else feel there child is/was high maintenance or is it just me being a mean parent ?

Best For Boys Diapers!!

Thus far, my Husband has been grateful that our Son E has yet to wet through his diaper and clothing, UNTIL YESTERDAY!!! Common sense says that it is time to go up a size. Baby E will be 1 month old tomorrow, time has flown by! His cheeks are bigger, his butt rounder, and taller even though we only measure him lying down. A diaper concern for me, since we will be purchasing them until he is potty trained, which brand is best for boys? I have heard mixed reviews on this, so I am asking your opinion. Huggies or Pampers? I so far do not have a preference but it may be good in the future to start thinking about him wetting his diaper more often. Also how can you choose between Sesame Street, Winnie the Pooh or Mickey Mouse ??
