I have decided to keep a blog on my journey of motherhood to two wonderful children. As any mommy knows days are filled with the cute, funny, gross and sometimes scary events, I wanted to record them all.
I am currently a stay at home mom to a wonderful 3 year old daughter and a 6 month old son who is equally as amazing. When I was younger I never wanted to have children. I never was one to babysit or even interact well with young kids. It wasn't until I started dating my husband that I ever thought that having kids would be fun and I don't think I even used that word, doable would be more like it. He brought out the fantasy of a cute little house with a white picket fence and kids and dogs running around.
So here I am. Home caring for the most wonderful people in my life, and loving almost every minute, although there are the exceptions. Yesterday was an exception.
My daughter has had ongoing constipation issues. Her former pediatrician just chalked it up to normal 3 year old issues. I didn't believe that what she was experiencing could be 'normal', so off we went to another doctor who views constipation quiet seriously and prescribed for her a week of milk of magnesia, in order to clear out her system. And them 8-9 months of twice daily doses of mirilax in order to allow her system to heal and become regular. So we gave her, her 1st dose of the milk of magnesia before bed as instructed. Yesterday morning she woke up and everything was normal till about 8am when she told me she had to go poo. So off she runs to the bathroom to do her thing. Minutes later she is yelling in a paniced voice "Mom! Mom, come help". The poor little thing had made it to the toilet and was pulling down her undies when apparently she couldn't control it anymore and out flowed massive amounts of liquid poo. Ahh the thrills of being a mom. I put a diaper on her after that- Thank goodness she fits in her baby brothers diaper, which she did not like since "Big girls wear undies, babies wear diapers. I'm a big girl." But we ended up having about 7 more episodes like that over the course of the day. I guess I can say that the medicine is certainly doing its job. Tomorrow we will do a quick dash to the store in order to buy more wipes, which we are going through like crazy and hopefully we will have an uneventful time out of the house. Either way I will have my diaper bag fully stocked with lots of extra clothes.
