Bella has a poop problem. She will go for days with out pooping. It does not seem to bother her, however the stinky farts bother us!! It had been 7-10 days with out a poop. We finally gave her apple juice today (per a nurses advice) to get things moving down there. Let me tell you how much they got moving. It was crazy quick too, it only took 1 hour before she had loaded her pants. I have never been so happy to change a poopy diaper.

I was going to make an appointment with her doctor tomorrow, so this saved us some pain. I can only wonder what they would have had me do to her to get the poop flowing. It was soooo much poop, it filled 2 diapers, and got all over the pad she was on too. John cant handle poop, so I get that end, and when the kids throw up, he gets that end. I don't do puke! I am sure she feels much better too, she ate dinner after and went to bed a happy pooper. I am happy that I know about the apple juice trick. Now that the thrush is clearing up on both of us, we can return to 100% breast feeding, and that should help to keep her pooping normal.
Did I mention that she turned 2 months old on Monday (or 9 weeks on Tuesday if you count weeks)? She is growing too quick. It is really bothering me. I worked so hard to get pregnant, and my pregnancy flew by. Now my baby girl is growing bigger every day. It is so sad to see the outfit I brought her home from the hospital in, it is way small. Oh well, it is not like I did not know this would happen. I should get over it. I will tell you this, I love every day I spend with my two babies. I hope all the pictures and the journal I am keeping for Bella, will help me to remember all that is flying by.
