Less and Less Excited About Poop

After a recent well-baby visit to the pediatrician and several bowel movements, I am now fully confident that my daughter is healthy. So now that I can stop worrying about whether or not they are coming (because they do), I no longer look forward to the prospect of my child releasing a load in her drawers.

As it was days after she expelled all the oh-so-pleasant meconium, I had anxiously awaited for Kara to dirty a diaper so I could check at least one thing off my list to tell if there is something wrong with her or not. Shortly after I posted the last post on the subject of poop, she had decided to make up for lost time with more gooey feces than you could shake a stick at (or more than you could even shake off of one, for that matter). The one after that had such a color and consistency that it may have ruined me on chocolate pudding for quite some time. And they keep coming, and there are surely more on the way.

Life's reality is hard work. There will come a time she can take care of her self. It will not be very long time until that happens. This time in life will go by before long.

Generally, each day will be easier, and days will turn into weeks, and weeks into months, and months into years. Before you know it, your little baby will be all grown, but before that there may be a few more poopy diapers.

Luke,

I cherish the days when I'm able to look at my computer screen and read "gooey feces".
