Funny comments made after your kids were born

Celestrina wrote: My DH and I were reminicing (sp?) about when Ben was first born. You know, when you were still trying to figure out how to take care of this little wonder. The first time Steve had to put on balmex he didn't know what to do. He actually asked "you mean with my finger?" My response "No, with your nose!" Any funny stories from when your little ones were still infants?

luvbug00 replied: this is MAJOR TMI but Mya had consitpation all threw her infancy and we had to give her enimas. Brad and I get queasy easy and so when she pooped we'd both stand at the changing table and put two chairs near so if the smell was too overwhelming or if looked too nasty ,we could sit in the chair and hang upsidedown!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: one of my friends came to visit when i was still in the hospital with our first - and I was trying to breastfeed (with a blanket) and my friend said something, made me laugh, then he said: hey - he's getting a milkshake!

i still laugh about it when i laugh while breastfeeding.

C&K*s Mommie replied: My memory is awful!! But maybe reading some of the others responses will jar it.

luvmykids replied: I had to give birth in the OR in case they needed to do a c-section, so my husband had to wear a mask. He said it was great b/c he could make all the grossed out faces but talk like he was ok with it all. OK, not so funny. Let me try another one ...

The first diaper change at home was projectile ... Colt pooped and it squirted my mom, his crib, the wall and the dog! He was so tiny we all called him pocket rocket.

3_call_me_mama replied: My FIL stated to DH (in my room minutes after Cameorn was born) infront of abotu 8 other people Dr's adn nurses included/..... "Not bad for a shot in teh dark!" Everyone STILL talks about it !

amymom replied: While in labor with my son (I had been pushing for an hour & a half ---- ) I tried to get up off the table and told the doctor that we were doing it another way!!! She didn't agree

I was certain my dd was a boy. She never revealed herself in any of the sonagrams, but I just 'KNEW'. So when she came out (and quickly I might add--I pushed once for about a second--quicker than my son but another story tho), the midwife said .. "It's a GIRL" And I said "NO it's not".

Also, I went from 3 cm to delivery in 15 mins, so there was not a practioner available when I was ready to push (like I said another story), the midwife that was on at 8am had not shown up onto L&D yet and the midwife that was off at 8am was getting dressed to leave and it was snowing outside, she ran to my room and caught my dd almost as she walked in, Afterwards she said "That's the first time I've delivered a baby with my boots on!"


Also after DS was born he wouldn't pee. After many hours the nurses were getting concerned, so at one point I told my husband to check his diaper --- my husband was 43 years old but first time Dad---after unpinning the diaper he pulled it down and was squirted in the face AND he said ..."OHhhh thank you baby for the present" And then he clapped He was geniuinely pleased our son and peed in his face

luvmykids replied:
Ha ha! I guess Dad had the magic touch!

CAMSMOM1 replied: When Cameron was born, my husband looked at him and said, "He looks like Smeegal!" (you know the character from Lord of the Rings, the crazy little man who was obcessed with the ring?) Anyways, that was his first nickname, Smeegal!

When Cam would breastfeed, he would open one eye really wide, and close the other...so we named him "Pirate". He would also snort like a pig when he was BF, so we called him, "Piggy". He has lots of nicknames! Poor guy!

You know when they are newborns, and still popping that black-tar stuff? Well when I was holding him naked, he popped black tar and I caught it in my hand! DH said, "Good catch! Better you than me!"


When I was pushing the doctor told me, "Push like you're having a bowel movement." So I did, I pushed with my bottom, and you can figure out what happened! My DH ran to the bathroom to throw up! So much for a beautiful moment!

So many more, but I'll spare you!

mee too!!! brad just about passed out!

BAC'sMom replied: When my daughter was first born my oldest was about 3 ½ years old. When the baby would cry he would tell us “she is getting on my nervousness”. We still have fun with that! Now when my son acts up, I tell him “you are getting on my nervousness”. It breaks up the behavior and we have a good laugh.

fashionmumofboys replied: When I delivered Rambo I pushed so hard that I pooped so bad and the nurses face just had a grin on it. So my DH always makes jokes about me pooping and the nurses face expressions.

With Alesio during the bad contractions I kept saying to DH - omg there coming again, my DH to make me laugh he said I'm not comin, he would sit there and just try to make jokes and laugh.

My2Beauties replied: Well my wonderful DH thought that it was odd that with my first child I only needed like 2 stitches, and he made a comment to me in front of the doctor that he couldn't believe I didn't need to be cut more and then he so graciously asked the doctor to "put an extra stitch in there for him!" Gotta love my DH bluntness!
