There’s a First Time for Everything

Monday 14th February 2005 - 11:18:00 AM

I hate to have two posts in a row that should carry the warning “do not read while eating”, but this is what motherhood is about.

Elizabeth has been so regular with her morning poo that you could set a clock by her. You can imagine my surprise when she missed two morning poos in a row. After she missed one, I was carrying around a spare outfit, after two days went by, I was and carrying around two spare outfits and a stockpile of wet wipes. Given some of her recent explosive diapers, I was prepared for the worst.

You can imagine my surprise when I checked her diaper last night (day 2 of no poo) to find …. a single turd. It seems that a month of eating solid foods finally resulted in solid poo. It took the poor girl two days to produce it!

Now I’m having second thoughts on using cloth diapers. Scraping turds off into the toilet with a spatula may be more than I can handle. I’m hoping that if she stays regular, I can put her in a disposable diaper for that time of day. We’ll just have to see how it goes.

    Not really a baby person. After reading FIRST TIME and SNOT SUCKER I can’t say a lot has changed in that department.

    But I will say you had me howling. The posts are short, sweet and full of life. You write well. Keep it up.

    I laughed when I read this and am sharing it with my daughter Suzyn because she too is dealing with more than her fair share of “explosions,” which continue to amaze her. And no doubt, soon Sheryn will be sharing her stories too! Thanks for the info on what to expect. LOL

    You think that’s too much information? Hm. I guess you don’t want to hear about how we’ll sometimes put her in TWO diapers or diaper covers if we expect a “stinky,” a process we refer to as “double-bagging.”
