How do babies know when they have a new diaper on? In the past day, Orion has managed to soil a brand new diaper directly after being changed at least three, maybe four times. On the one hand, it's pretty funny, but at 3AM after finally getting him settled down only to have to change him (and wake him up) again, it can get pretty nerve-wracking. Add to that a particularly 'stuck' burp bubble taking its time to work itself out, and you have a recipe for a fussy baby and a very tired mamma! This was our night last night, which was finally saved by burp-master daddy Russell, who got up and got Orion to burp (and changed him, twice) before laying him back down to nurse with me - and finally fall asleep.
Yay, parenthood!
I was thinking around 4AM or so that it's a good thing I've got the next three months off, because I don't know how we'd do this otherwise!
Still, he's a cutie pie and I'm glad he's here with us, even while I'm begging him to calm down and sleep in the wee hours of the morning...

And he did it again a little while ago - that's 5 times now!
