Uncle Chris Changes a Diaper

I never could figure out why the first few times you change a diaper, it's the most vomit inducing experience of your life - but somehow, after a couple weeks - you're so used to it it doesn't bother you at all.

I mean, you never *like* it, it's never fun, and it's always disgusting when they have a total explosion, but I remember the first time I opened my son's diaper, I thought I was going to lose my last few year's worth of meals all at once. Eventually, even the diaper pail wasn't that bad.

THAT is hysterical! My god. There is only one time I ever had an issue with my daughters diaper, and that was when she was sick. HA! However, hubs has an issue is she vomits.

See, now I am the opposite, at first it didn't bother me at all when my kid was a baby, had no problem, not even at first. NOW, he's almost 4 and potty trained (mostly) and had an "accident" last night and I thought I was gonna die... it was horrible :dead: and he's not sick or anything like that, but the actual "wiping of the butt" had me about to gag. I was SO wishing I had baby wipes were still around at my house :dead:

I am the father of 3. One boy and two girls. Boy came first and it was no big deal. Cleanup was a cinch as I knew all the parts and where to be. Newborn poop isn't bad. It's a few weeks before things start stinking and then you wonder how something some adorable can smell so bad.

With the girls, at least the first one, it took me a LONG time to get comfortable with the process. Completely opposite of the boy, with the girl, I had no idea where to go, where you'd find poop and how to properly "excavate" the area. The running joke amongst my buddies was that my relationship with that area previously was far different and it DOES take some getting use to. After a bit, it became business as usual.

Never quite gagged me out with any of them. However, there have been some brutal experiences that had me quesitoning what the hell they ate.

Two horrible things of note:
1) When the kids have gotten "rhinovirus" (sure that's not quite it). They'd have the runs AND vomit. And it would all smell the same. You'd literally hear one of them blow in their sleep and before you got into their room, you'd smell that distinctive smell. To this day, THAT will get me cramping up.

2) The use of diaper geenies. You'd pack that thing full of diapers. And if you'd empty them every week, they'd sit there and ferment. And no matter how you tried to take them out of the diaper geenie, a poof of warm poo air would escape and blast you right in the face. Nothing better than stale poo air.

That stale air IS the actual genie.
