TMI ahead…:)

My daughter has had some serious constipation issues over the last couple months, it has been really bad the last couple of days, so we went to the Dr finally today. Have you ever had one of those moments as a mom where you are like, I feel bad I didn’t get her in here sooner…anyway…..I am glad the Dr thinks it isn’t food related necessarily–I have pretty much taken out anything that could be constipating her at this point–and think it has become more behaviorual….she has pooped and it hurts so she doenst’ want to do it again..so instead of pushing she is actually holding it on.   Makes sense, since she tells me she doens’t it want it to come otu….anyway…I had to give her an enema..maybe I am the only one the planet who has never had or given one of these before.  It wasn’t bad giving it dd acutally did very well..but she tried to hold it in and it was so hard for her and for me….I felt awful adn just wanted to make her better. Long story short, she got it out and is happy as a clam now..:)  Anyway….now we are to add some stool softener to her food to softener her stools to try and retrain her that it doesn’t have to hurt…..Anyone have any experience or insight on this whole thing…..enough poop talk.  As a mom with 2 kids under 23 months, it is way to big a part of my life already.

Eating..today has been good. Older daighter slept in so I had a little extra time and made a yummy veggie scamabler for breakfast…..got my period today for the first time in 18 months since 2nd daughter was born….:) What a great return–at least that explains why I have had a backache all week.

Anyway..gotta run but wanted to get my post in….
