It's late

[cmf]

and I'm up. and really, not so tired. Dare I peek my head into the MUSH? Ohhhh

Okay, i dared. angelamermaid is there. That is all. Do the rest of you have lives at 2am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning?

Why am I up?

Well, it all starts off at about 7:30. Lauren, who btw, hasn't pooped in like EIGHT DAYS was moaning around whining "ooooh changeabum!! changeabum!" but you know, there was nothing to change. So I was sitting here at the computer rocking her trying to calm her down and she fell asleep. At about 8pm. Still dressed, not bathed, and no bottle. So okay, I put her in her crib.

She woke up at 1:20am. and thank the good lord above, she had pooped. Some of you may not realize what a BIG DEAL this is, but any parent of a constipated toddler will tell you - it's a BIG DEAL. So we got her changed, got her dose of her mineral oil medicine and brought her and her bottle into bed with us.

She drank her bottle and was dozy but too happy to be in mommy and daddy's bed to actually goto sleep. So finally I told her it was time to go to her cribby and she reluctantly agreed.

Now here it is, 2:20am and I'm awake. We have big plans to be out of the house by 10am to goto Winterfest and out for lunch and get Nick to bowling by 1pm tomorrow. I'm not sure we'll make it.

Not without a lot of help from Tim Horton's anyway :)

Hooray for Lauren's BM!
My oldest nephew (he'll be 12) lived with me until he was 4. He had HORRIBLE constipation problems (to the point where we had to literally dig it out of him with Q-tips sometimes - it was like sand) as a baby/toddler so I know what that whole thing is like. It's so awful to see (and hear) them grunt and squeal and strain and have nothing come out. :(

poor little guy... :(

at least we've got lauren to where it SHOULDN'T hurt - she's just scared to go. Sooner or later she'll realize it doesn't have to be such an ordeal.

Poor baby. We had to cut bananas and most dairy (milk & cheese really) from Faith's diet for awhile. Even now, I can tell you exactly what she ate for breakfast based on how quick she is to go potty. Tonite should be fun, Daddy gave her a whole banana and banana bread because she wanted it. ;o)

It's so hard to watch them in such pain and not be able to do anything for them. Hopefully we'll get her on the right track before too long.

...now there's a subject line!

Thanks heavens she pooped, poor kid. Is she getting constipated often lately? Tana did that too at one point but her dr said as long as she's not bothered by it, don't worry. Shyeah right! That's easier said than done after 6 or 7 days of no poop.
