A Poop For the Record Books

Welcome to motherhood. Braden is one month old today and he let me know he was becoming a big boy by delivering the biggest poop.... EVER. I was so lucky to not only because I got to clean this event but my son decided to continue the "celebration" in mid-wipe, therefore getting it all over my hands and his isolate. It was unlike anything I have ever witnessed... it just would not stop. OK, sorry to gross you all out, but this is new territory for me. Braden's nurse recorded his episode as 2 large poops, yes 2 because 1 just did not do it justice. Ah yes, I realize I have more poops and barfs, yes my son LOVES to barf too, ahead of me. Welcome to motherhood.

  1. Yay for your first epic poop! I have so been there, even the part about pooping midway through the cleaning process. :)

  2. Ditto Stephanie's comment. Ol' Charlie had a memorable poop moment this weekend. :-) Glad Braden is doing so well.

  3. Yep, it's official! You are definitely a mom! It doesn't become official until you have been spit up on, thrown up on (and Yes, there is a difference), and pooped on! Welcome to the club!

  4. Wonderful...I agree with Teri...you are not a mother (or father,Brian will need to be initiated also) until you have been exposed to the trilogy of body fluids from your child...we know that his digestive systems seems to be working wonderfully...give that boy a hug from his Aunt Bonnie
