you know you're a mom when...

you know you're a mom when you are telling everyone about your baby's pooping habits. last sunday i think i kind of freaked out a couple of our child-free friends when i was telling them about makenzie's latest pooping woes. as a mother of three, not much bothers me about poop these days. i've seen it all- diarrea, seeds, whole raisins, all of those newborn baby textures and colors. but makenzie gave me another of those poopy experiences... constipation! audrey and zach have never been constipated. i haven't ever seen a baby cry and be so uncomfortable as she was the other day. she just was crying and crying, and i smelled poop, so i was going to change her diaper. but when i opened it up,the poop was sticking half way out of her little patootie. i didn't know what to do. it wasn't coming out, so i grabbed a wet wipe, and tried to grab it and pull it out, but it went back in instead. i just thought great! now she'll have to go through all of that again. and of course, late that night she did. poor baby, it just got stuck. anyways, to make a long story short, i ended up having to put some ky jelly around the area so the little turd would slip out! i know that's gross. the doctor told us to give her benefiber every day, so now i make sure to give it to her, but sometime she still gets seriously constipated. i don't know what causes it.

anyways, now that you are grossed out, you can look at a few pictures to remind you of how cute and precious the kiddos are. today was a beautiful day (a bit cold for the beginning of may, however). we put a blanket outside and the kiddos played around. i got this swing for kenzie this morning at a garage sale for 2 dollars.
we were doing superman with the kids, and i thought this may be a cute little picture with the blue sky and green trees above. they are different but cute!
