In other news, we're having our first struggle with constipation. Joe deals with it quite admirably, but he went from having about eight poops a day to about one poop a day. We called our pediatrician who said that babies have varying poop schedules and also formula fed babies (especially babies fed formula high in iron) tend to get constipated. To help things along, I put a teaspoon of Karo Corn Syrup in his bottle about once a day and it seems to keep him from getting completely stopped up. Joe couldn't be happier when he gets his "special bottle".
We have our second pediatrician's appointment tomorrow for a growth check and I have an OB appointment in about a week for a shrink check. I lost 30lbs in 10 days! I can't believe it has come off so fast, but I am quite happy about that. :) Here's Joe relaxing during mealtime. Hopefully his umbilical cord stump will fall off soon so that we can give him a real bath!
