Good luck. We're making progress away from "chaotic" towards
"manageable", but we're not quite there yet, not even after 3 weeks and
having my mom around to help. Figure out what absolutely has to be done
and do that, and if you can do a little more, do so, but don't knock
yourself out trying to do everything at once.

Sammy isn't quite that easy, but we're finding out ways to help keep him a
little happier. And it's getting a little easier each day.

Is this the first that he's peed on you? Count yourself lucky -- Dan was
changing diapers at the hospital, and when Sam was 1 day old, really got
Dan badly. :) I got *extremely* lucky yesterday -- took off one diaper,
got a fresh one on him, was cleaning up after the whole mess, and heard
the sound of him pooping his fresh diaper. When I took it off, it turned
out that it was very fortunate he'd had the diaper on for that exact
minute, as it was awfully wet as well.
Oh, and then there was the night that he went through 5 gowns and I went
through 3, partly due to diapering mishaps like the one you describe. :P

who is going to need to feed Sammy soon....
