So Mason has been constipated since pretty early on. We first tried giving him juice, then prunes, then cut out all foods associated with the BRAT diet. We've pretty much tried every kind of formula out there and are finally on a specialty formula that costs $25 for half the size of a regular can. Pretty expensive, but hey if it helps I'm all for it. At the end of the month we are going to take him to a pediatric gastroenterologist to see if there is something wrong.
Well, because he has had this problem his diapers have been pretty manageable. Nice and tidy, easy cleanup. Today though, he pretty much had an explosion in his diaper. Running down his leg and then all over his foot. I didn't really know what to do with him since I hadn't had to experience this normal part of motherhood. Eventually I put his feet back in his sleeper, carried him upstairs to the bathroom and basically hosed him down. Just kidding about the hosing down thing. I did give him a very thorough bath. Now he's as happy as a clam like he always is.
I've got to say we've had it pretty easy. He has got to be the easiest baby. We did have that MSRA scare though. That was pretty stressful. It is scary being a mom, knowing you don't have full control over what happens to your children. I guess that's where we have to totally give them over to God knowing we can always trust Him to make something good come out of whatever happens.
Well, that's my little story for today.
