Parent Panic and an Epic Poo

Oh my god. Last night Zoë pooed the likes of which I have never seen or heard. EVER. It was everywhere. She pooed for at least 90 seconds straight. It was unreal. I was running around trying to get things while Jenn took on the task of trying to clean her up. She got a bath. I will say no more.

Yesterday also gave Jenn and I our first Parent Panic. Zoë's umbilical cord was green and oozing. We were a little concerned with that as we know that's generally not a good sign. Call up the pediatrician, go in and he tells us it looks great. I was a bit confused, but he went on to explain that if it was truly infected the area around the umbilical cord would be red. The green ooze was normal and by the looks of things it should fall off in a day or two. Sure enough, last night it came off.

The fun continues....

  1. I'm 2 years into the whole baby-thing. I assure you, the epic defecation continues. There's the "up the back poo", "fingerpaint poo", "she feels lighter now poo" and many, many others.

  2. It is amazing how as a parent poop is such a topic of conversation. You start to analyze the poo--color, texture, consistency, quantity, aroma, frequency. And it never ceases to amaze me how a person so tiny can produce so much of the stuff!
