Q's at Home
We were thrilled to come home from the hospital last night. Q, Mom and Dad all had a much better evening with plenty of rest. Sunday was spent learning routines and teaching Dad all about tricks to changing a dirty diaper.
Lessons learned:
1- When you have a solid waste diaper, remove socks also, even though the baby doesn't like to be cold. It is better than having to take off the poopy socks that got kicked into the dirty diaper.
2- Cover the little guy parts to avoid having the clean clothes you are about to change the baby into from being sprayed down.
3- When you cover the little guy parts for above, do it with something heavy enough to keep from being sprayed up and away. That little towelette sure looked funny floating away.
4- When you try to schedule the baby into set times, he will inevitably decide he wants to do something else. Mossil and Fossil had to wave hello and goodbye at the same time as Q was not going to be kept from eating. Again.
5- When people say babies eat, sleep, poop and repeat, they are right.
It has been awesome. Every dirty diaper, every spit-up, and every little scary noise that makes me jump out of bed and check on him. We have a wonderful son who is constantly growing and changing.
