Today was the first time in 10 weeks that my wife and I were alone, and by alone I mean we left our child with the Grandparents for 30 minutes. 
We packed up our stuff and thought of running away, but no we just went for a walk. It was funny, we did think about stretching out our walk, but realized if we did not return we would miss her. So we finished up our walk and returned, I always thought people were lying, that a kid was a ton of work, but I was the one lying to myself. It has been a awesome time, but raising another person is work. I am surprised mankind has made it this far, and at some point in history a generation just did not give up on the whole procreation part of life. Again I don't see how a single parent can handle it. Also I have been having a problem with the diapers, we have a blow out once a day, but I don't know if it is the diapers, or just the shear volume of output. Any tips from those long time parents out there?

I have said the same thing myself, something along the lines of "You know, it is amazing that any humans make it all the way to adulthood. Parents truly are saints."

By the way, it sounds like most likely the diapers are not the right size or fitting properly.

We went to bigger ones, but she just fills them up. No room in the thing.

Glad you and the Mrs. got to enjoy a little one on one time. You mentioning that you are "surprised mankind has made it this far, and at some point in history a generation just did not give up on the whole procreation part of life" is the funniest thing I've read in quite a while. As for the challenges with diapers, just think of the days when your only option was cloth diapers;0) In addition, keep in mind that "blow outs"and all they are only that little for a blink of an eye and before you know it you'll be looking back at these days as some of the fondest memories imaginable;0)

My wife is crazy, and thinks that cloth diapers would help with the blow outs. Maybe, but then there is all this poop in a cloth that I have to wash. I am trying to stick with the disposable one for sure.

Truthfully, she may be on to something... believe it or not. I know that dealing with the used diapers doesn't seem ideal but I also know that there are multiple diaper services available. Although I am not personally familiar with using diaper services, I know of someone who was gifted a subscription and loved it. I searched around online before writing this and found an article with lots of info you may be interested in peeking at;0) Hope this info is helpful, keep us posted:0)

Blowouts.... lol!
As a father of 4, I done had my share of blowouts. I have learned that you have to watch what they eat, if that's even possible, avoid a lot of fast foods, processed foods, very fibrous foods. Juice is a big no no.....it keeps them happy, but it also makes their stomach uneasy.
Good luck, but it is pretty much unavoidable.
Lol!!!!

She has been solely on milk, It is just like a massive poop all of a sudden, and was wondering if diapers can even hold the Tidal wave.

Raising children is far from easy and is 110% a full-time job and then some. The funny thing is, there will come a day when you look at each other and say, I wish they were still in diapers. LOL As hard and busy as you are right now, this is the easy part. Wait until they are walking, talking people who you're trying to guide and make decisions for and sometimes argue with. Every stage is wonderful and stressful. Enjoy the ride! As for the diaper issue, it's more about the output. Just stay away from cloth. We tried it for a bit, What a nightmare.

Ya the wife has got this pipe dream of thinking it will solve the problem of the blow outs, but I think it will just cause another problem.

This is the rule of the world. Managing a child is a little difficult for all parents. Still seeing the child's smiling face all the pain is gone. Thanks @bigram13.

Raising kids is no easy joke. Always up and down to ensure everything is in place and if they are okay.
Ain't a Dad yet but have babysitted three of my niece.
When the baby is one diapers always check the diaper every two hours.
Most times the diapers are the problem, either the size is too small for the baby or the production is poor. So you should change brand and try another one

Hello! With practice we learn so many things that before we could not imagine could exist in relation to raising a little person. I think it is one of the best if not the best experience there can be, as well as the mutual feeling of need and affection. Having a baby is the most beautiful blessing.

That is the beauty of the parent hood . Some often say it is hard but once you get used to it , it is not that hard.
It was great to know that you both got to spend some me time in after that long.

This part reminds me of big bang theory, who would be the stay home parent, they both wanted to at first but getting to the office, after comparing what they pass through at home daily with the kids and at work, they decided office was way better lol.
But at the end the kids gotta come first

Hahaha. Beautiful entry... I'm not a parent yet, and I wonder about such things. I already know it's a full time gig and hectic, but then it's clearly worth it. Would love to see more posts in line with this.
