Fair warning for those of you expecting babies.....

Now I now that the vast majority of our posts regarding parenthood have been positive, this one will show you the other side, the dark side if you will.  It all started last night when I escaped for my weekly nerd night and Jacqui was left alone with the munchkin.  All good soo far, you just wait.  I returned about 10:30 to a slightly emotional wife who had just been through a self-proclaimed night from hell.  And I now pass on this warning to you all.

It all started, and really finished at bath time which is around 7:30.  Mr Daniel was transported to his bath and a normal bath seemed to be in order with much splashing and himself trying and normally succeeding to drink all the water in said bath.  Jacqui then went to remove him from the bath ....

*****WARNING This next bit will be particularily nasty for prospective fathers, do not continue if you have issues with bodily funtions*****

You have been warned!

.... and discovered a small amount of doody (nicest word I can think of), on second viewing a much larger collection was discovered floating around the bath.  Stout wife that she is the creator was removed from the bath  wrapped in a towel.  Unfortunately this did not stop production and a nappy was obtained post-haste, then another, and another and then a fourth.  Yes this was a four nappy monstrosity.  And then she still had to empty the bath, refill it with clean water and wash the munchkin once more as he had mysteriously got dirty in some manner. 

So there is the warning and ignore it at your peril, doody at bathtime can happen and probably will.  Just hope you don't have to go through the night of Two Baths and Four Nappies.

P.S. FYI Mr Munchkin had not 'been' for three days prior to the explosion, this much raw production was not just a days worth.
