Diaper ALERT!

ok, well, as many poopie diapers as i have changed in the last several years between daycares, and "nanny-ing" they don't bother me.... but Phillip on the other hand is a different story... I need to video tape the next time she has a poopie diaper. The last two times he has changed her, he has just about gagged, and he ends up handing it over to me. They don't really smell terrible yet... i mean don't get me wrong they aren't the "no stink" kind anymore, but i have definatly changed worse!! He thinks its going to get all over him...I need to make him a "daddy diaper kit" with gloves, good smelling stuff to rub under his nose, and lots of extra wipes.
     A friend, who has 3 kids of his own, came to visit in the hospital and brought a gift of diapers and wipes and made the comment that he brought a big tub of wipes because "us guys" tend to use alot more than the women do.  He said, " they can take 1 wipe and fold it over and over and be done".  Well, that would be a true statement.  Phillip has a huge stack of wipes it seems when he finishes, i mean don't get me wrong, some messes do require more wipes, I definatly need to video next time.

Reese Avery 1 week old

She's finally here & a week old! Man that was the fastest week of my life.... she weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz. & was 21 inches long..... uh yea... most of her newborn sleepers are too small.  O, and did i mention we have daddy's feet so some of our smaller newborn socks don't fit either haha... time already for some bigger sleepers & socks.
   We are sleeping pretty good at night, sometimes it takes a little while to go down, b/c gas has been our enemy...once we are down, most of the time we are good for the rest of the night, we usually have to make her eat every 3-4 hrs... Needless to say.... she has definatly stolen all of our hearts.  Her daddy is absolutely over the moon. He has suprised me completely... he has been changing poopy diapers, and been spit up on, been woken in the middle of the night...and loves every minute of it, i mean i'm sure he could do with out the spit up and poop but ya know it doesn't bother him near like i thought it might..
More posts to come soon.  I just wanted to get an initial post in.
