Becoming an Expert and a Milestone

I can now change a diaper in less than thirty seconds! Taking my cue from Alton Brown, I prep all of my hardware beforehand. Wipes on my right side, opened diaper on my left, and a small plastic bag above Samir's head for the dirty stuff. In the middle of all of this is the plastic changing pad. However, despite all of these precautions, I experienced something I hoped I never would, no matter how common it is for the mothers of baby boys. Yes, I was peed on. Twice. Twice today. So, I guess I hit a milestone. My boy peed on me.

I also had to do something that I hoped I would never have to do. Samir's nose is a little runny, and it was impacting his milk consumption. So, I used a nasal thingy that sucks the mucus out of a baby's nose. It wasn't as gross as I was thinking. I just didn't look too close at the tip of the bulb as I cleaned it out. All I need now is to get pooped on and the triad of grossness will be complete!
