Still waiting for the end of this wretched not-sleeping-always-fussing-baby-angry-baby-SMASH! phase because I’m tired. This baby is such a Gemini, and is so following right along in her brother’s footsteps. She’s an old pro at rolling over already. In fact she seems to be speeding right along with all these developmental milestones and will probably be walking next week, then the week after that she’s going to steal the car and go for a late night joyride over to Babies R’ Us. Damn kids.
Also I would like for Nick to not get constipated anymore. It is really hard on all of us and so far the Poop Doula has had no success. I feel terrible for the kid but the whining, oh god the whining is driving me bananas. He is clearly in a lot of pain but I think mostly he is just holding it in — this is the curse of the subsequent bouts of constipation, the fear makes it worse. Ugh. Well if his laxative doesn’t work tonight tomorrow we’re going ahead with the enema. Good times!
I think Mike’s trip to Norway is happening at possibly the worst time ever. If I didn’t have my mom to help us out I think terrible things may have transpired. More terrible than having to wipe wet poop off my son’s butt with my bare hand while he was naked in my mom’s back yard sprinkler. Hypothetically.
I only have to make it three more days…
Yes it shall pass. And I’m sitting here with a prayer of thanksgiving for you that you have the Poop Doula nearby.
Call me crazy, but I have a small suspicion that his poop proclivities and my absence could be related. To that end, any time I’m gone is the worst time.
KT, if it gets too much, just let me know and I will jet over and “relieve” you of the problem. I have much experience with your husbands anal-retentiveness oh so many years ago. I am only a few hours away!
Give NT a big squeeze for me, maybe that will help!
Love,
D-i-L
The poop doula has been successful once again! The lad is in a quite good mood playing in the tub after an outstanding poop in the back yard.
