I would never have believed how much laundry is involved with a new baby if someone had told me before I had Haidie. No one warned me however and holy crap is it ever mind blowing. I used to do laundry maybe once a week when it was just my husband and I... now we are doing a load a day! Whatever she doesn't spit up on of hers, it's my shirt or dads shirt, and if she doesn't get us with her burp up, it's poop or pee. Bodily fluids galore! God I love my kid.

Charl...
Jun. 18, 2007 at 10:01 AM I thought the same exact thing when our little boy was born. I wasn't use to doing much laundry at all. I pretty much got the whole family package at once. I am now currenty on laundry strike. Well, my husbands laundry anyways.

But the new - news is at 20 months, the laundry load doesn't get much lighter. With potty-training and mud puddles. Now the teething, fever and once a week nightly spit ups after crying for mama in the wee hours of 1 am.

So now you have been warned. My mom told me when Charlie was born "it only gets harder". I didn't belive her. But believe me. It only gets harder. At the same time, a lot more fun. Funny how things work that way.
Good luck.
