Relief

According to Dr. N, Baylor's pediatrician, a "baby's job is to breathe, eat, sleep, and poop." Well, Baylor temporarily stopped doing his job (the pooping part), and let's just say he was not happy. My "easy" baby has been anything but for the last 2 days thanks to the back-up. I don't really know what caused the problem. We haven't changed our routine or anything. Baylor was very regular until now. He'd eat and then immediately poop. Heck, sometimes he'd poop while eating which we've tried to explain really isn't appropriate, but he doesn't seem to care.

What complicated the situation was that Baylor can basically drink his own weight in fluids. One would think that he'd slow down the consumption given that he was backed-up, but oh no! This kid could not or would not lay off the milk which created some MAJOR discomfort that he was VERY vocal about. He didn't care that Mommy and Daddy were tired and wanted to sleep. Nope, he wanted the world to know that he was not happy. It really was pretty sad, actually. His whole body would tense up as he tried to push, and he'd turn bright red while whimpering and whining in pain.

Well just as we all began placing bets on when he'd drop the load, he finally let loose. I guess he didn't appreciate us making light of his situation. I can only imagine how uncomfortable the poor kid was after changing not 1, not 2, but 3 full diapers. He was seriously was full of _____. My poor baby! Obviously, he's feeling much better now.
