With love, The Currys: Constipation=Frustration

On Friday, our poor baby had to endure her first encounter with "constipation" and it was no fun! Usually, I'm changing 4-5 poo diapers a day, which boiled down to... Monroe's pipes work just fine!! That all came to a halt on Friday and lasted throughout today. We tried pear juice and water, which resulted in a bunch of gagging. Next, we tried Karo syrup and water and that seemed to go down slightly better. Nonetheless, I prayed that I wouldn't have to give her either today and I did not! She finally seems to be feeling much, much better and back to normal. :0)

We are not used to our "punkin" being so frustrated and we are just so glad that she is back to normal. Tomorrow, we go to our pediatrician for Monroe's 4 mo. check up and shots. I'm eager to see how much weight she has gained and how long/tall she is now. I thank our precious Father for blessing us with such a healthy, loving baby. She's everything we prayed for and more! Although I know the shots are prevention from illnesses, it is still a hard pill to swallow seeing your helpless baby in pain. Prayers have been said and I know that God will take care of us both. :0) As you know, you must also pray for a mommy's strength--to be as strong, comforting, and nurturing as possible for the baby.

I'll be sure to post her weight and height after the appointment sometime. Your prayers for our punkin are greatly appreciated!

With love,
The Currys
