diaper duty

i realized something today. of all the things i was looking forward to when i was pregnant, believe me changing diapers was not high on my list. there is something about stinky bodily fluids that just turns my stomach in knots (this girl can knock you down with the stench that comes from her rear end). but believe it or not i actually look forward to changing alice's diaper and it's because that is when she is at her happiest. wouldn't you be? not only do you get to have clean pants, but a full belly as well (she gets changed after she eats).

you may notice that a lot of pics i post of alice have the same background. that's because i'm changing her diaper and the background is the guest bed (buahhahha! don't worry, i use a pad AND i clean the sheets). i get such a kick out of all the squeals, giggles, smiles, and baby talk that we sometimes are in there for 30 minutes. now she is this way at other times, but she's almost always super happy at diaper changing time.

i honestly never thought that one of the most disgusting tasks of parenthood, could be one of my favorites.
