Changing Diapers
I hear a lot of guys say that they will never change a diaper. I've also heard of husbands making a deal with their wife that they will never have to change a diaper. Ridiculous. That deal will never last.
In my opinion, it's easy. It only takes like 1 minute. It's especially easy with Ellie since she only poops like once every 2 weeks (I know, not normal, but she doesn't seem to mind). So a pee pee diaper is a cinch. Hardly any clean up, she a girl so I never get peed on (although Marci has been peed on twice), and it only takes 30 seconds.
Now, only pooping once every 2 weeks has its down sides. A regular poopy is normal sized. Still messy, and often gets on the baby's clothes, but normal. A poop that has been building up for 2 weeks, now that is an interesting experience. One word to describe 2 weeks of poop coming out of baby's butt all at once = overwhelming.
There's just no way to prepare for it. For more details about Ellie's last 2 week poop see Marci's blog post at http://ballroomandbiscotti.blogspot.com/2008/10/cause-to-celebrate.html
Conclusion: Don't be afraid to change a diaper unless the baby hasn't pooped for an extended period of time.
