Exhaustion and the LITTLE Surprise

Sharing a bedroom isn't always pleasant, especially when you have to share a room at the hospital with hungry newborns plus a few drained out parents.

I am a decently calm and patient person, but having our roommates dragging their chairs around plus talking and snoring un-considerably loud here and there between 11 pm to 3 in the morning, I asked our roommates politely if they could possibly keep it down a little.  Perhaps we were all tired, our roommates did not take it well which got me going with them for another good 10 mins.  Thank goodness they eventually kept it down (or I was way too exhausted to hear them), and that they discharged the next day.  Regardless, I prayed that everything went well for them.

That was the exhaustion part of the day, what was the little surprise waiting for me?  My dear little son's first diaper change!

At a first glance - "diaper's wet".  Took a closer look - "okay just pee, first time diaper change isn't all that ba..." and BAM!  Like squeezing a tube of toothpaste, the "surprise" was ALL over my hand.  My wife got mad at me for the big commotion, and even though I was exhausted, I naturally smiled at my hand and thought - "Thanks for the surprise you little sneaky one!"
