Sam finally pooped!


As of this morning, poor Sam has not had a poo since Sunday! I called the pediatrician and she suggested giving him 2 tsp. of Karo syrup in his bottle. We did that last night, but there was still no action as of this morning (although he was letting out STINKY farts). My mom had mentioned that when we were little, she used to stick q-tips up our bums to stimulate poop. I tried that with Sam this morning, and no sooner than I had that q-tip removed, he SQUIRTED out poo everywhere! It got all on the bed, on the floor on the way to the sink, and all in the sink. It was hilarious. It looked just like one of those play-dough toys...you know, the kind where you put the play-dough in, press down, and out comes a huge line of play-dough...that's exactly what it was like.

When motherhood happens, our thoughts and vocab turns to bowel movements and urinating! It is astounding how happy we can be when stuff is coming out of our off-spring! Way to go Samothy!

Oh my gosh, that is funny. A q-tip? I would have NEVER thought. Amazing. You are so brave to have stuck it up there. Nasty! Glad little Sam is feeling better.

That picture is awesome. He looks like he's constipated and unhappy about it- like "Someone stick a q-tip up me before I scream!" Haha.
