Monday night, around 2 a.m., Addison woke up and started screaming! It's unusual for her to wake up in the middle of the night because she's such a good sleeper. She had huge crocodile tears and everything. It was so sad. So, Eric and I tried playing detective, to figure out what was wrong with our typically smiley girl. We assumed she was teething, because Jackson now has two teeth, plus, when Eric put his finger in her mouth, she screamed even louder. So, we got out the baby Orajel and slathered that on, thinking she'd settle down....NOPE. So, Eric got some baby Tylenol and gave that to her and then we decided she must be hungry. So Eric fed her. That helped a bit, but she didn't drink the whole bottle. She eventually went back to bed.
Tuesday morning, I asked Eric if she had pooped. He thought about it and couldn't remember that she had. So, that afternoon he gave her a baby laxative and.....low and behold....that was the problem!
Poor baby girl.
She was so stopped up. Eric said she pooped out big, chicken-nugget-lookin chunks. Eric was so amazed by the poop, that he saved them for me to see after work....um, no need to save them sweetheart, I believe you.
And after that, we had our smiley daughter back.
