So after the babies were born they inevitably had to be changed. Since Melissa had just had a c-section I was on deck! The nurse came to the room and was checking on Melissa and the babies and I mentioned to her that Leah had pooped. She said, "Ok, I'll change her this time and you'll watch, and then next time you'll do it on your own." I said ok and watched her change Leah. Any new parent knows that the first couple of poops are filled with what is called meconium which is a thick, black, tar-like substance. The nurse finished changing Leah and left the room. About 2 hours later guess what Leah did again! I called the nurse and she looked at me and said, "Ok, your on your own with this one. I'll watch but you're going to change her." I said ok and started changing Leah. I opened the diaper and she had in fact pooped, as evident by the pile of meconium in her diaper. I proceeded to clean Leah up when it happened, out meconium started to come! I looked at the nurse and she said, "It's ok, just clean it up." I did this and then started to get flustered because Leah continued to poop and poop and poop. I said, "She won't stop, ahhhh!" Melissa and the nurse lost it and laughed uncontrollably. So I can happily say that I have a very good, first diaper changing story to add to my collection of stories to tell.
