How Having A Baby Will Change Your Life

When you have a baby your life really changes and sometimes in ways that you would never imagine.

My 2 year old and I were playing today then we got ready to go to Target.

I noticed that my pants were wet so I checked the baby and she had a very full diaper that had leaked so her diaper and pants had to be changed.

But my pants were just a little damp, not really wet.

So I asked my wife do I need to change my pants?

She asked how wet are they?

Then we got into a conversation about how much pee do I have to have on my pants before they need to be changed.

It started out with does it smell, and it didn’t so then we proceeded on to the next step, was it wet enough that I could feel it.

It wasn’t… 

Only the outside of the pants were damp, and then we just kept going trying to figure out how much pee you can have on your pants before they need to be changed.

We came up with this checklist for deciding.

1. If they are only slightly damp and not wet
2. If they are not wet enough for someone else to notice
3. If they do not smell
4. If you can not feel it from the inside

Then you don’t need to change, but I decided to go ahead and put on a clean pair anyway.

And of course as soon as I go outside my Daughter wants me to pick her up and then I find out she has been jumping in the mud (one of her favorite activities) and now my clean pants have mud all over them.

But they are 100% pee free.
