+ Poopyhead +
All right, this post is about baby poop. If that bothers you, just pass this one on up.

Yesterday and the day before, you had some interesting poop experiences. Tuesday morning, you pooped normally. Tuesday afternoon you had three watery diarrhea diapers right in a row. Then, nothing. Wednesday morning, you had a diarrhea diaper, and yesterday afternoon, you had a green diarrhea diaper. Okay, alarms are going off. Last evening, nada. Luckily (or not), daycare got all of these. So nice of you. When we got home, I called your Doctor's office, and the nurse (finally) called me back. She asked me a ton of questions, and we reviewed a ton of information. Basically, she said not to worry too much. You don't seem dehydrated and I know now the specific symptoms to watch for. Thankfully, you don't seem bothered by this current problem, so that's a blessing. The green one is just because it ran through your system so fast it wasn't properly absorbed. I informed her that with my Celiac, I was sadly and unfortunately familiar with green poop.

Hopefully I will pick you up this afternoon and NOT get a run-down on your diarrhea for the day. The entire point of breastfeeding is to save you from these kind of afflictions. Sorry. Must've been something I ate.

Your afternoon daycare girl, Kate, is leaving after this week. :-( I'm very sad about this. I like her very much and felt she really listened to what I was requesting. Hopefully whoever they get to replace her will make me as confident. I am nervous about it, I'll admit.
