Yeah, when L was born (I did most of his daytime nappies for the first couple of weeks) I was baffled that this was supposed to be a big icky deal. Although admittedly meconium is a PITA.
Re being-interested-in-things: A was talking this week about an academic paper she's supposed to be writing this summer, and worrying that her brain has expired. But when she actually explained to me what the abstract was and so on, brain & knowledge were definitely still there. Now she just needs to work out where to find the *time* for it...
I am glad that the good parts are lovely, and sending good wishes for the hard parts.
