I am taking off work early to take her into the doctor. She has to get shots and a laundry list of signed notes for daycare. One for the stuffy/runny nose and cough she has had for the last week that we assume is a cold. They require a note now before she can come back to make sure she has a clean bill of health and not an allergy to something at the facility. Second note for the daycare to allow them to keep her asleep in the swing. She falls asleep all the time in the swing but they are not allowed to keep her in there for more then 15 minutes after she has fallen asleep. Third note is like the second but for the bouncy chair, but for some reason the daycare said it has to be a total separate note. hmm.
Wish us luck - tonight could be rough with the shots. I packed Tylenol with me so I hope that she will be ok.
On a "lighter" note..... she finally pooed! For those that I had told she had not gone for over 10 days and we knew it was going to be massive and she delivered. I picked her up from daycare last Thursday and went directly to the store to get Karo syrup that the pediatrician recommended for us to put into her formula bottle that night. Apparently this is sweet tasting so most babies don't mind the taste and it helps loosen things up in there. If she had not pooed by morning we were going to have to do the ugly procedure... i will spare you details but just note it required rubber gloves, Vaseline and a steel stomach.
She fell asleep as soon as we left daycare and was totally knocked out when we went to the store. I ran in with her to get the syrup and we waited in the check out line when i noticed "something" on her pants. Well this something started to grow and grow and I knew at that moment what it was and wholly crap! LITERALLY CRAP! I had already purchased the syrup and ran out with her to the car. Now I was caught in this strange moment of, do I wait it out and change her in the parking lot or do i just keep it in the car?
I chose the latter and cruised home hoping that it was not spilling out all over the car. Luckily i did not hit any red lights and got home in enough time to make sure it did not leak all over the car. whew.

Her car seat though was not so lucky - it was covered from the middle to the bottom and "it" was pooling at the bottom. Good god.
Needless to say for the next hour I was cleaning her, the car seat and me not to mention all the laundry I had to do. Andy got home just after the massive blow out so he missed it all, but he will get his chance I am sure later in her life. :)
Besides the poo updates she has been rolling and rolling! She turns all the way over now and rolls and rolls, not fast but she is able to roll to and fro. Yesterday Andy was drinking a beer and put it way out of her reach, she rolled over and started to lift her butt and scoot up towards it! I was like oh great - she is going to start crawling for beer!!! HA! :)
I am posting a few videos and pics below for you all to see; have a great holiday weekend all!

I am sure my mom can concur this is a face I use to make all the time. We gingerly refer to this face as her "piss" face.
