Word of the day....

And the word is...gastrocolic reflex, oh okay so it's two words. Anyhow if you want the definiton here it is: Gastrocolic reflex causes the digestive system to be active whenever the stomach is full. Okay question...why did you need to know this you ask? Well the answer explains what I do for a great deal of my day. Mia is the sweetest most addicting little baby ever, I love having her around, but she has, as I was reading in my book, this reflex. So, here's how our feedings go. She wakes up with a big diaper, I used to change her first, then I feed her, burp her, she poops, I change her diaper again--after I have waited for a good amount of time thinking she is done right? Wrong. Then she decides she isn't done eating or just needs to go to sleep (bad habit I know) so I feed her again, she is almost asleep to where I could easily move her without her waking up. What happens next you might ask? Yep she poops. So I wake her up, change her, and then wrap her in her blanket, bounce her, pop the binky in her mouth, hold her close, change holding positions a few times all in the attempt to get her back to sleep as quickly as possible before she gets dirty again. That was the routine until I read my book and figured this out. Now she wakes up with a nice big wet diaper I then feed her as much as I can, burp her, she poos, then I change her diaper and her clothes because we just had a blowout, and then either play with her or do the getting-her-to-sleep routine all over again. Each time her feedings/diaper changes end up taking a nice hour (at least) out of my day. This is my life, I'm not complaining by any means just giving ya'll a glimpse of the fun that goes on in my house. This is my life and I happen to just love it, dirty diapers/diaper rash and all!!!
