Snaps snaps snaps

I should have mentioned this in my first post.  I'm not complaining about motherhood or about being a mom.  I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE my sweet baby boy more than anything.  This blog is just meant to be a funny way at looking at the joys of motherhood.

Sooo......

Becoming a new mom has made me discover one of the worst inventions ever on baby pajamas...

SNAPS.

Whoever decided to put 50 snaps on baby pajamas clearly NEVER changed a diaper at 2:00 AM while you're still half asleep.  Just when you think you have them all snapped, you missed one.  Or just when you think you have them all lined up perfectly and snapped correctly, you get to the last one and discover it doesn't have a partner to snap into.  You have to un-snap them all and start over.  Meanwhile, your newborn is flailing their arms and legs uncontrollably and screaming.

I do think that snaps are ok on certain baby clothes--cute little overalls or a one-piece outfit.  Then they are a lifesaver so you don't have to take the clothes all the way off the baby to change a diaper.  Perfectly acceptable in these circumstances.  But on pajamas---NO.  Hasn't anyone heard of zippers?  They should be mandatory on all baby pajamas. Someone needs to tell this to all the major baby clothes companies.

Another thing the clothes companies need to know is that not all babies are SHORT.  My baby is a giant at 6 weeks--23.5 inches.  He's in 6 month clothes because anything under 6 months is not long enough for him.  And some of the 6 month clothes are getting too small too, and I'm afraid I might have to bump him up to 9 months.  Come on--seriously---a 6 week old baby in NINE month clothes?  Some stores have a "big and tall" section for adults.  I think that the baby section needs this also for "big and tall" babies.

While we're on the topic of infant clothes...congrats to all of you out there that have a baby girl.  You might be able to actually find a decent outfit for her while you're out shopping.  The girls section in the store takes up about 75% of the inventory and the other 25% is boys.  And all the boys clothes either have a truck, dog, monster, or fire truck on them.  I had to go and find a "nice" outfit for my baby boy for my husband's grandmas funeral.  I went to four stores before I finally found something decent on clearance.  It was a pair of khaki pants and a sweater.  It was on clearance for $20 (wayyyyy too much but I needed it desperately) and originally was $58.  WHAT?!?!?  Who in their right mind would pay $58 for a baby outfit that was poorly made in China?  I just don't get it.

I'll end this post on this note.  Ever watch a baby poop?  It's HILARIOUS.  I've never seen a human being concentrate on something so intently.  And it's so LOUD.  I still laugh every time my baby poops.  It never gets old!!!  Have a wonderful day!
