And then .... there was poop

Hudson finally pooped today. We were worried that he hadn't pooped in 3 days. If he didn't do it today, the doctor wanted us to see him tomorrow. However, he pooped ... and boy did he ever!

Yikes!

He's now sleeping like he just emptied his bowels after a splurge at a weekend Mexican buffet. Any man must envy that kind of poop. A 30 year-old could have read War and Peace or A-J of the Encyclopedia in the time it would have taken to poop that much out. However, Hudson did it in just under ten seconds. That's my boy!

So we can all sleep well knowing that Hudson's bowels are working : )

Startdate- Wednesday 9/24/07; entering uncharted waters

Well, I can finally say that I TRULY appreciate my mom. This mothering thing is draining. I have never worried so much or loved so much. And what's up with this nursing thing? Who does this? I feel like a milk maid and I am beginning to look like one too! My nursing goal has dwindled from 1year to 6 mos and now I am holding at 3 mos!!!! I exaggerate a little. It actually is going surprisingly well. I probably can thank my 9lb baby for that. He is thriving. Went to the doctor today for a well visit and he is gaining weight and we anticipate he will regain to his birth wt (a whopping 9lb 4 oz) very soon.

He still is slightly jaundice and isn't moving his bowels as he should; which coincidently will help with the jaundice. So, we are praying for our own little miracle of improved bowel movements. I can't believe my prayers have changed so drastically!! I am praying for baby poop!! what have I become? I have become a mother- that is what I have become and I wouldn't trade one second of it!! God bless and please leave comments and let us know what you think
