poop

Literally

Munchie's gone from her standard 1 poop a day that she had been doing for at least 2 months to 2-3 poops a day in the last week or so. And every day they've been getting just a little bit runnier. We thought it might just be the drool from the teething loosening it up, and the fact that she's spending so much time on her belly making effort now was working it out more quickly.

But now she's getting really fussy, really tired, and, in the last day, losing her appetite. She'd been eating 27 or 28 oz a day, and yesterday she only wanted 23. Today, she's only had 7 so far, when usually she's closer to 10.

On top of all of that, she's not making as many wet diapers. So now I'm concerned she might be dehydrated. And our thermometer broke, so I don't know if she has a temp or now.

Why yes, I am the mom who runs to the Dr at the drop of a hat. I make your medical insurance premiums soar. But gosh darn it, she's just a baby.

Try denying this face medical care when she's acting sicky.
I can't do it.
