We officially survived the Poopocalypse of 2014.
Brendan had another fantastic day. We have struggled for so long to try to keep Brendan so still during his feeding sessions. We have watched him retch and gag and gasp for breath. He started a new medication to help his stomach empty faster. And all this time, the answer might have been as simple as changing formula. It hurts my brain and my heart that it took so long to get to this point.
It is still early, but the change is beyond significant.
After having so much difficulty pooping all last week, I think Brendan took care of all of the backed up business today. We didn’t know whether to laugh or cry or laugh while crying, but it was a blowout like we have never seen. Brendan was all smiles and thought his sink bath was hilarious. I almost took pictures of his adorable face but half of it was plastered with poop like he was trying to camouflage himself in to a mudslide. How is it that a kid that won’t touch food will smear poop EVERYWHERE.
It was a gorgeous day to spend outside while the house aired out.
Selfie master
Showing Brendan he can take a killer selfie too
Sunday evening. Trevor is flagging down the ice cream truck!
Neapolitan sandwich! Eating it from the side to efficiently distribute bites among flavors
Brendan opted for rock climbing over ice cream today
Sprinkler fun
A complete nap fail this afternoon led to quite a meltdown-filled bedtime routine. But both boys were passed out solid by 8pm.
We need more sleep.
It’s so nice to hear that Brendan is still doing significantly better on the new formula. Maybe it will help to regulate the poop schedule , too!
I sure wish we had warm weather to play outside. It feels like it will never get here. It didn’t even hit 50 degrees today. The wind made it feel even colder.
I like the “selfies”. Maybe you could also get them to take pictures of each other. Then you would always have pictures for the blog. 🙂
Wishing you all a good night’s sleep, and lots of love,
