It's always about poop

Simon had another scary poop this morning. There was the blood again, plus some solid poo. As every baby book seems to indicate, that's very serious. Solid poo can be caused by anything from organ failure to bad food, apparently.

Fortunately, his next poo was normal, so the going theory by the medical professionals was let it go and see what the next one was like. We think that maybe the formula he was on, for just a few bottles on Saturday, may have been the issue. It's striking though how everything is about poop when it comes to babies.

I have to admit now that I'm starting to understand how parents can go completely off the deep end when it comes to kids. Diana's intense reaction to Simon crying in the car even seems reasonable. I hate my already-parent friends for this, because they were right... it's just different when it's your own kid. And it only gets more intense now, as every week he becomes more of a personality. Just this weekend, he's made smiling his m.o., and he even let out a giggle today.

It's amazing how many things Simon and I have in common already...

1) Everyone is concerned about if we are pooping normal

2) Solid poops = trouble


Hah! Sorry...it was too easy :o) Glad to hear things resolved themselves.
