the joys of parenting

[blaueteufelin]

Abby has not pooped in almost a week (not to worry, it's perfectly normal). It's a good thing we don't have carpets, as they would be in grave danger whenever she blows. Fun times, let me tell you

WOW. Get ready for the big one!

Abby has NEVER gone more than a day or two without a poo. She's what they call an overproducer, joy. She's down to two, sometimes one or three a day now, though, and man, am I grateful.

(Sorry, I don't normally make conversation about my daughter's bowel movements, but since you mentioned it first...)

She finally pooped this morning. It's been exactly a week. Believe me, it was big! And seriously stinky. It's still soaking in the bathroom. Good Lord.

She's slowly been going for longer and longer between poops. First it was 1 day, then 2, then 3 . . . and now all of a sudden, 5-7 days. I am not a fan. But I was warned that it might happen - it's apparently genetic? :p

Awww. What a cutie!

She's a charmer. She has a little fan club wherever she goes. We've gotten used to people completely ignoring us to talk to her ;)

Holy moley, she is SO cute! Nice to have you back posting :)

[blaueteufelin]

Thank you! It's nice to be back :) Planning to make a more or less daily habit of it.

I love the last picture. :D

It is kind of fantastic. She has a great look on her face.

She's so adorable! Doesn't she poop into a diaper? Why is it in the bathroom still? Can't you just throw the diaper directly into a dumpster outside?

Do I really want to know the answers to all these questions right now?

w00t, it's not often that I can settle so many questions with only one answer: we use cloth diapers ;) When they are super poopy (which they are when it's one week's worth of poop) they have to be soaked and rinsed out. You can see one of the cute little diaper covers we use in the pictures above.
