Poop, Glorious Poop

I never thought I would be so excited to see Lilly poop. It had been since Monday evening, and she's usually pretty regular, mostly everyday, if not every other. But with the exception of some dry, small movement, no go since Monday. You could tell Lilly wanted to go, she would strain, try to push something, but above all, she was farting up a storm. And these weren't ladylike farts - these stunk. Pure adult smelling ones. She certainly gave off an odor. But nothing with Regina Tuesday. Nothing Wednesday. So when I was telling Regina to look out for her poop, she mentioned that if Lilly went three days, I might want to think about a baby suppository. She said all I had to do was stick it between her butt cheeks and the hold the butt cheeks close, so it didn't fall out, as Lilly would probably trying to push it out. And then she said be prepared for poop.

Well, I was gearing myself up for it, to call Uptown Pharmacy and have them add a baby suppository to make prescription delivery, when, around 6PM, she started straining. She got that half smile, and her face turned a bit red, so I could tell it was coming. She also stopped eating, as she needed to clear the way, to make room for incoming food.

But after 5-10 minutes, nothing happened. She still strained but no squirt or splat. So I resigned myself to the baby suppository. But then she started crying. And she started smelling. An odor was wafting out of her diaper. So i was like, did she?

And sure enough, she did. She did it on the sly. I told her she was a stealth pooper. And once I cleaned her up, only three wipe diaper, she devoured the bottle, and then fell asleep. So pooping was good! Never thought I'd be super excited or rejoicing for poop. Baby suppository will have to wait for another day and someone else's butt cheeks.
