Ick!

We've been reading the Portable Pediatrician to keep on top of what's going on with the baby, what to expect as normal and what to get freaked out about. One thing we've read, and have found to be true, is that after about 6 weeks of age the baby begins to poop less often - more like once every couple of days as opposed to the previous multiple times per day.

This results in some pretty nasty stuff. Also, due to the infrequent nature, dad often misses out since he is at work all day. Today I knew we were due for a poop - and Sophia did her best not to disappoint. In fact, I had put her in a disposable diaper (we usually use cloth) to make disposal of the nastiness easier. However, I did not prepare for the explosion that occurred. It was so icky that I was compelled to take a picture so dad could see just what he missed. And also so I could use it as leverage later (i.e. "You're taking out the trash b/c I had to deal with the poop today").

So, don't worry, I don't usually go around taking pictures of my baby's poop - and probably won't again in the future; but just this once, it was appropriate. So, I'm putting it here to share with everyone. Enjoy!
