Therefore, Marcus will have to take over the following:
1. Take a baby's temperature rectally.
2. If the baby is a boy and he is circumcised I do believe it will be Marcus' job to take care of that area. He's most familiar with it anyway.
3. Anything to do with scabs or things falling off, i.e. umbilical cord "stumps" and aforementioned circumcised scabs.
4. Trimming of the baby's fingernails. There will be plenty of time in the future for me to make the baby cry. Let’s allow Marcus to have a shot first.
5. Sucking stuff out of anywhere, be it nostrils, throats, etc. (Updated 21-OCT-2010)
6. Changing diapers that are oozing. (Updated 21-OCT-2010)
7. Cleaning-up vomit unless of course I want to clean up my own vomit also. (Updated 21-OCT-2010)
*Again, this is an on-going list. As I learn of other less-than-desirable aspects of caring for a baby I will add to it.
I will gladly take items 1-4 in exchance for you doing diapers!
ReplyDeletehate to break it to you but you will do 5-7 at some point... better prep yourself!
ReplyDeleteSo, carrying the baby for a grand total of 40 weeks and then pushing it out through the smallest opening known to man counts for nothing?
