Here is the scoop on poop.  If you're going to have a baby, you're going to be dealing with A LOT of it.  You will be amazed how much waste a baby can produce, you will be even more amazed at how it can somehow sometimes travel up the back or stomach.  Baby poop also changes day to day.  Most times, it's nothing to worry about, but other times there might be an issue like illness, lactose intolerance, or food intolerance (if you've started solids).  Teething can cause diarrhea which is a whole other monster to deal with.  During Raven's worst blow out diapers, she has always seemed the happiest as if my gagging sounds or looks of horror are amusing.  Also, don't be surprised if your child starts to urinate everywhere and/or spit up just as you think you're done cleaning up down there.  You might even hear a little giggle come out of your baby after they've destroyed the changing table; it is most likely their revenge for that 'cute' outfit you forced them to wear for family pictures.

As a parent, I think you get used to constantly cleaning up body waste like it's no big deal, we really don't have a choice anyway!  Just remember, someone was cleaning your bum at one time too...and be sure to thank them because it's not the glamorous part of parenthood.
