    I'd forgotten how squeaky newborns can be.

    Everytime i pick her up or put her down, she squeaks. Number 1 son was exactly the same.

    3 in 1 oil?
    On a baby?

    No, i only use the good stuff, MucOff ceramic dry chain lube (its what i've got lying about).
    Okay, Cod liver oil.

    Anyhoo, what should cheer you up is this little bundle. Totally reliant on you. Totally selfish. Time consuming.
    But beautiful.
    She's not done a poo for 3 days now. Midwives aren't worried apparently...
    we had that (too long ago to remember how many days) and I still remember the merriment on the docs face as he left the cubicle after inserting the suppository
    12 days was our record and it went while we were queuing to see the doc.

    Breast milk is a natural laxative. If they ain't pooping it's because the bairn is getting all the nutrient out of the milk and doesn't need to go.

    Merriment a euphemism for shoite?
    I don't think I ever had that but I can remember at least two occasions when it was either the carpet or catch it in my hand...
    you should see a doctor as it sounds like you could have something seriously wrong with you

    Seems your tiny children spending a crazy amount of time not in nappies while indoors. Must love cleaning.

    Never in my house - outside, sure.

    Or are you doing the diaper free baby thing (which I saw in real life - 6m old baby perfectly potty trained. Insane).

    I had a kitten trained to go in the kitty litter in 17 days.
    The problem with that was, when she grewd up, she would come in to go to the toilet.

    You had IVF by accident?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    No I mean that you knew babes shit everywhere yet still changed it without a mat!

    Congrats on #2. I've heard once #1 is IVF then subsequent babies can come along quite quickly, naturally.

    Ah happy memories! I remember teeny tiny Tashgirl requiring a nappy change at about 4am. I thought this will be quick, so didn't bother dressing. I dutifully scooped her up, laid her on the unit in the bathroom and whipped off the damp offending nappy, cleaned her up and reached for the fresh one.
    At this point there was a mustard/korma coloured explosion that covered me from knees to nipples. I had to call the drowsy Tashwife to come and assist at this point, although she was strangely useless with all the laughing :D:D
    At least it was only a couple of steps to the left to get in the shower.

    Victory over the wastes of oxygen in our HR department who created a large tax exposure by doing something without consulting me, then tried to thwart my attempts to put it right.

    Unfortunately for them they didn't realise that the Group CFO was right behind me on this one and his JFDI notice this morning to the head of HR was rather pleasing :)

    Reminds me of the Sardines and Mash incident in the night time.

    At roughly 8 months old, my first born was on semi solids and puree'd vegetables.
    One of the dishes was Sardines (in Tomato sauce) in mash.
    This was on a Friday. There was no action until Monday morning in the wee hours...
    For a change Mrs P got up to attend on the little one.

    As soon as she undid the nappy, there was a tremendous gasp from Mrs P... from the stench.
    I had to get up and open all the windows and the back door.

    Sometimes I read a post and I think "bloody hell, he gets it" and only later I realise it's my own post.

    At least I agree with myself most of the time.

    Saw a replay of a game of ice hockey i refereed and nailed every single call.
    There’d be a split second where I thought oops missed that before the whistle blew.

    There’s some I’m glad I haven’t seen the replay for.

    Was changing a pooey nappy earlier and then baby projectile pooed chicken korma colour poo all over my trouser leg. Wife tool over and baby projectile pooed over her hand.

    Surprisingly common. That's why tubes got tied after the dynamic duo arrived.
