Gross

There are two things in life that gross me out to no end, poop and boogers. They also happen to be the two things I dread the most with this upcoming baby. With my niece and nephew I had a rule, when they're potty trained, I'll babysit. I gag at the thought of a poopy diaper, and the thought of examining and wiping someone's private area makes me feel like a pervert. I know they're just babies and don't care, but it still feels so wrong.

I want my diaper experiences to be a little less painful, so I've decided to go the route of reusable diapers. They come in all kinds of fun colors and prints, so maybe I'll actually enjoy the experience a bit more. Zulilly has some deals on reusable diapers occasionally, so I picked up some cute ones like this little guy.

I also got some with monsters on the butt, and I've been gifted a bunch of solid color ones from my brother and mom. Not only are they cute and environmentally friendly, but they're easy to wash and they are more gentle on baby's skin. Don't even get me started on the grossness of diaper rash...

I'm still going to use disposable diapers, especially in the beginning and while traveling, but reusable would be great to use when we're at home.

Now we come to boogers. You can throw up on me and bleed on me all you want, but show me a booger, and I'll show you the contents of my stomach. I don't know what it is, but snot is the most disgusting thing in the world to me, and it was often my inspiration to throw up when I was keeled over with morning sickness. I watch these moms scratch boogers out of their kids noses and I lose my appetite for the week. While cruising through an over priced fancy baby boutique with my sister one day, we came across this.

It's called The Snotsucker, and it's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. It's a tube that you stick in the baby's nose, then you put the other end of the tube in your MOUTH, and suck the snot out of your child's face. I started dry heaving right there in the store and my sister was in hysterics immediately finding out how much it costs so she could buy it for me. WHO THINKS OF THIS STUFF?!?! This goes right up there on my list of Fantastic Moments in History. The top of the list is the first guy (or girl) who looked at a chicken and said, "I'm going to eat whatever comes out of this animal's butt."

I'm hoping that when the time comes to deal with poop and snot, I just won't care anymore. Kinda like how I used to be grossed out by dog poop, until I got a dog, and now I'm that person who picks it up 

by hand with just a plastic bag.

Wish me luck folks, I've got a lot of growing up to do.
