I have a new appreciation...

...for poop.  It's true.  Never in my life did I think I would be so concerned about the bodily functions of another person.  But that all changed after having a baby.  (NOTE: that baby is why I haven't been able to blog regularly ... thus this late-breaking story).  So, back to the poop scoop.  A couple of weeks ago, while going about the routine motherly tasks that now occupy my days (and nights), I noticed that Savannah had gone through a couple of diaper changes without being dirty.  Very unusual for her at that time.  After it caught my eye, I started getting worried and wondered why the change.  We waited in anticipation for each diaper change to see if the status had changed ... we employed some age-old techniques to try and encourage her along ... anything and everything to try to help.  By bedtime, Cory and I had one conversatioal subject ... POOP.  It had been long enough that Savannah was pretty cranky with the whole thing.  I didn't know if there was really something wrong or what.  I busted out my books to read about baby constipation which I determined probably wasn't the problem.  In case you're wondering, it noted that infrequency and straining were not a sign of constipation in an infant.  Our pediatrician gave us a vitamin D supplement that also had iron that I'd recently started giving her so I though maybe that was the cause.  In any event, we were up until around 4 a.m. when things finally got moving ... if you know what I mean.  I'd never been so relieved!!  And I'd venture to say that neither had Savannah!!

That concludes this scoop on poop, but I can't rightly post a blog without including a picture of our little squirt.  So without further ado ... the sleeping beauty:
