Bumbo and corn syrup

We had a hard day today. Gracie had a poopy problem. As in, she hadn't gone since Friday. So she was cranky all day, and finally managed a poop that any grown man would have been proud of- but it was pretty painful for her! Poor thing. She cried harder for that than she did for her shots! I ended up calling the pediatrician's nurse line to get some advice because I KNOW there is more poo backed up in there. They said to put corn syrup in her bottle once or twice a day or give her diluted prune juice. We're going to try the corn syrup. I sure hope it helps. Bless her heart!
We also got her a Bumbo seat today. She's been doing really well with holding her head up consistently so we went ahead and got it to let her sit in for a few minutes. Those things are pretty cool! She's so cute in it!
Not much else going on. I have less than 2 weeks of maternity leave left!!! =(

You'll have to let me know how she likes the Bumbo. I'm debating registering for one of those.
