What a Week!

Ethan is one week old today. He had a little operation on Friday, so changing diapers has been a little more challenging the last couple days. He's doing better now, though.

Last night I was trying to change his diaper when he started peeing all over the place. Fortunately, there was something in the way and so it was just deflected harmlessly down his side and onto the changing pad. No problem.

A minute later I heard something and looked down. My worst fears were realized as I watched the changing pad getting even dirtier...much dirtier. The diaper was just a couple inches out of position, but that's all it took.

Now I was really stuck. Ethan was still dirty from the diaper I was in the middle of changing, and the changing pad was dirty from...well, from Ethan. I didn't know what to do, so I started calling for Lacey, but she was asleep in the other room. Aaack!

Lacey eventually woke up, but she was so tired that I had to raise my voice to the level of what probably sounded like an angry, frantic yell. She came tearing into the room, looking a little alarmed and probably expecting something horrible. She came in and took over like a pro, cleaning him with an ease I'll probably never attain.
