Look at that. You see it? That picture up there, look at the state of me and it's only been one day!
We got our little bundle of joy home today from the hospital. The good lady too, which was smashing. Always the optimist, I had taken my daughter to the beer shop earlier to help me choose some funky beer. (Yes, I know this is ironic after yesterday's post.)
The day went well. Obviously having a baby as well as a four year old is a solid exercise in patience but we managed to work our way through it.
People had warned me of the perils of changing a baby boy's nappy. Like the arrogant fool I can be, I ignored them and their seeming twoddle.
Oh but how pride can strike even the greatest of us down. My first nappy of the day was one of the black tar monsters.
If you haven't changed a newborn's nappy before then let me enlighten you as to the joy of the first few days. Their poo is black. It's tarry and sticky and all in all a freaky nightmare to be confronted with.
That was fine though, swallowing my boak I carried on. In the back of my head was the thought of the beer I had bought. Perhaps I would do a Steemit beer post!
It wasn't long before the good lady informed me she could smell poo. I leapt to my feet and put my hands on my hips.
No worries lass, I live for this shit!
Ah, perhaps I spoke too soon.
I swiftly set about the wiping, my nappy ninja skills from the last time with my daughter returning with a vengeance. I was just about to close him up when he poo'd again. I huffed and set back to wiping that which had been wiped.
Then he peed, a veritable yellow old faithful fountaining all over my hand.
I swiftly wiped myself clean, this was nothing to The Master I thought.
All clean again, I hurried to close him up. Oh nooooo, too late! He oozed out another poo. It was like that bit at the start of Two Girls One Cup only it was black.
I started cleaning again. Only to be once more sprayed by the meaty mini-rifle of pee.
Finally, I finished and sealed him up. He was very contented. So contented he fell asleep on me.
Looks like there will be no beer and no beer post tonight.
Waaah, waaah, waaaaaa!!
That's me, not the baby crying!
Thank you for posting @meesterboom.
Lovely writing and illustrations.
So glad to hear the little lady is enthralled with Baby Boom.
Just keep remembering....they say....it will be over all too soon....well that is what they say... ^_^
bleujay has managed to put this all in a different light....dedicated to Baby Boom.
Wishing you and yours all the best. Cheers.

@meesterboom - You made me remember the 'pleasant' time with my baby boy! Waaaaahhhhhh. 😭 That is me - not my baby boy!
It is amazing to see how you manage to keep your razor sharp wit going even when you are almost in the trenches, shoveling $hit! Way to go.
Hope the situation eases out soon. All the best. Upvoted full.
By the way - I tried my hand at writing a bit in satirical vein. Got walloped on the head by the HQ (wife) for writing something called 'Single and happy'. Inspired by your style but if I may say so - nowhere near your class. If you kindly take a look and provide your comments, it will help me improve. Thanks

So the fun begins, way back in the days of cloth nappies, our son had been laid on the floor, on a blanket with a open nappie to have a kick. I was sitting in a chair doing the minding bit, reading the paper. Suddenly, over the top of the paper came this little stream of water, all over the uniform of course.
A face cloth over the strategic is always a good idea.
Just wait until he finds mum's lipstick, that lasts for about a week of bright red slowly fading to normal brownish.

In the days when our kids were born there were no other nappies than those we had to wash and hang on the line. I went to buy groceries one day my hubby said he will watch the two of them. By that time they were big enough to start walking. I will never forget coming round the corner and there he was hosing them down with the hose pipe outside. He said he could not keep up with the 2 and the boys nappies was impossible for hime to fold. I just could not help laughing as he was so distressed.

We tried them! The good lady is a bit of a hippy at heart and bought them for our daughter when she was tiny. After having to wash them once I told her that if she wanted to wash them she could but I was having nothing more to do with them!

Oh, how I remember those days! With four sons you get lots of practice. lol I do have a good story for you...When our third son was about a year old, I needed to attend a doctor's appointment for our fourth. Daddy decided that the two of them would go out for a nice quiet lunch. While at lunch Daddy smelled the horrid poo smell. No problemo. Daddy had it covered. Before they reach they bathroom, it had become a major blowout (you know, down the leg and into the shoe) No much in the line of convenience for changing a poopy kid in the men's room, so, here's Dady washing son's dirty bottom with soap in the sink, and of course no paper towels. Ingenuity strikes and Daddy dries son's bottom in the hand air dryer. Of course Mama had packed a clean shirt and diapers but no extra socks or bottoms. So, Daddy put on the clean shirt and diaper, proceeded to pay the check and leave as hastily as possible before anyone else neede to use the men's room. The air ws throughly contiminated...
