We stopped at a fabric store this weekend to pick up supplies for our Christmas decorations. While I paid, BAGD stood off to the side with Giggles and Pookie. A very nice teenage clerk walked over to google at the baby. I heard her say to BAGD “I want a baby, but you know, not really. I’d want to play with it, but when it came time to change the diapers, I’d be like, her you go, you take her back! Haha.”
I laughed a bit, quietly to myself. Changing diapers is not the hard part. I would change hundreds of diapers a day, if it meant fewer back to back feedings. Or if it meant never having to agonize over what each cry means or if the baby is bundled up warm enough, but not too warm. Or if I could trade it for a predictable nap and feeding schedule. Funny.

I would never, never, ever trade any of the diapers, nights awake or whatever for my children. I love them and I am thankful for who they have become. Of course that is easy for me to say because, I do not have to wake up or change their diapers or worry about if they are too cold or too warm. Thank God.
But now of course there are other worries. It never ends….you always love them so much.
Ahh… I remember thinking that changing diapers and trying to get them into their tiny clothes was going to be the hard part! Then you get pregnant and have to decide if you’ll work, how you will feed your baby… .then you have the little fella and you have to deal with breast pumps, colick, reflux, colds, etc. Diapers?? That’s cake, huh?
