~ I stared between the baby who's teddy is in her mouth and my phone playing the five minute YouTube video on how to change a diaper.
I've been peed on. Puked on. Slobbered on. And all in the span of ten minutes. The shower water is still running signaling Elijah still taking his sweet and precious time.
I've tried steering clear of Alijah when it comes to these things for a while. I'm all for the cuteness but this is a whole new level of ball park. "Okay, work with me Jesus it's all up to you now." I crossed my heart and pulled down the goggles to cover my eyes.
Getting spit up in the eye is no joke. Taking the clean and fresh diaper I opened it up sliding it under the baby whose making noises. "You're so cute when you babble nonsense like that." I cooed smiling at her. After about three minutes of struggling with the straps I got it all secured and snug on her.
"How we feelin boo?"
Her face scrunches up turning slightly red. I squint my eyes before realizing what she was doing. "Are you shitting right now?"
Small grunts escaped her lips and her legs seemed to kick out. "You're definitely shitting." I sighed. "You know girl I love you but this is ridiculous. Whatever your mother is feeding you can't be trusted."
"That would be breast milk."
I turned around. "Nathan."
"What're you wearing?" He laughs.
"Oh god! I look ridiculous, I'm sorry." I quickly pull off the plastic gloves and try and remove the goggles but they get stuck in my curls.
I yank at it only to wince. My eyes dart to and from trying to spot a pair of scissors. Nathaniel chuckles. "Do you need some help?"
"No, I will cut it." I say determined.
"Oh no, don't do that. Please, I insist."
"It's okay. I have done it before."
Grabbing the sharp scissors from the nightstand I open the blades placing them to my hair. They don't snip because of getting at the plastic first. I try again after my failed attempt but a hand stops me.
"I can detangle it. I see the issue, please put the scissors down before you hurt yourself."
He doesn't wait for me to remove them from my hair but instead grabs and twists the goggles and eventually it lets go. He holds the cause of my problem in his hands and I frown. "Well now I feel stupid."
"Women and their hair." He grumbles causing me to laugh.
"Knock, knock." Elizabeth says coming into the room smiling once seeing her baby. "Hey my baby— mommy missed you so much."
"She just shit. Again. So, you might want to be aware."
"Oh."
She visibly frowns holding her daughter up as if the news hurt her to hear.
