Daily Ada-Ruth Lorraine 2008.11.17 - poo at last

WARNING: this was a relatively graphic day. Read at your own risk.

Hello all,

This morning we enjoyed another visit from our lactation consultant and she wasn't nearly as insouciant about Ada-Ruth's lack of bowel movements as we had become. So we were given new marching orders: feed and pump every two hours. Guess what, it worked. About 6:15 mountain time I began dealing with a prodigious pile. We'd been told this morning that she was 8 pounds, 2 ounces and now I wonder how much of it was ... this.

Anyway, this and the fact that her umbilical stump finally fell off, resulted in her first bath.

All's well that ends well. Another great day with our daughter.

My best to you all,
John

PS: Here's a video from the morning where Ada-Ruth has some gorgeous, wide-open eyes and hiccups.
