DwightDeGroff.com - Tech that Matters

So… yeah… Gwen and I were eating dinner at Texas Roadhouse tonight for our annual “We don’t care about the Super Bowl so let’s go out and eat while the restaurants are deserted” experience. We were talking about the usual (for us) – Babies. It was during this conversation that it came to light that I have never – ever – changed a diaper. Gwen thought that was pretty funny – I told her that I could probably figure it out. How hard could it be… right? RIGHT?!

Hmm… well, I’m not so sure now. So… I decided to Google it. The results seemed information, but not very interesting. I then proceeded to search for “change diaper” on YouTube and within say… 30 seconds? … I was rapidly closing my browser window. I then went back to “the Google” and found my way to an informative article.

Here are some of the most important steps, quoted for your convenience:

1. Make sure you have everything you need nearby to change a diaper.
2. Lay your baby on his back on the changing surface. If you are using a changing table, it’s recommended to use the safety straps.

Wait, wait, wait… safety straps? This is getting out of hand. Perhaps I will just try my luck.

Meh.

So…Gwen and I decided it was time to try to have a baby.

Three weeks ago we found out that we succeeded on our first try! Haha! When we started trying, we decided that it would be really fun to surprise our family on Christmas morning before telling anyone. Wow – it was definitely tough waiting. There were definitely a lot of funny conversations during those three weeks – it’s amazing how often you notice baby conversations when you can’t tell anyone that you’re having one.

Christmas morning finally arrived and we totally surprised both of our families on Christmas days. We definitely have some incredible videos footage. (I think I’ll get a chance to upload that tomorrow).

I’m stoked!
