*if poop grosses you out quit reading, lol.
brandon got super "backed up" yesterday. he had the urge to go, but, for some reason, decided to hold it in. we've had these issues all his life, but it's NEVER been this bad. he was screaming for me to help him and shaking so bad. i called the pedi to see if there was anything i could do for him (he's on regular meds but apparently they need to be increased), she suggested doing an enema. my mom, the best grammy in the world, ran to walgreens and said she'd help me hold him down while i gave it to him. yeah, right. first of all, dear grammy, was in near tears the entire time. i told her to get a grip and be supportive. she loves brandon so much, i know it was hard for her to see him like that. i have to laugh, now, thinking back at that, it's so typical mom. second, the kid was clenched so tight i could not get the thing to work. we decided it was best to go to the ER. i was scared he couldn't get it out himself. anyway, we got there and they gave him the enema. he was terrified but got it done. afterwards he was a totally different person. i've never seen him so happy! he must have been miserable for days. the ER doctor gave us a few options to help him over the next few days and lets just say he's refusing to cooperate. i may just up his meds and deal with it that way. as you can see he's back to his normal two-year-old self.
*jack's news is that he tried a new vegetable tonight. last week it was sweet potatoes (he did n
ot like) and today we tried carrots. he seems to enjoy those much more although he doesn't look very thrilled about it in the picture.
ot like) and today we tried carrots. he seems to enjoy those much more although he doesn't look very thrilled about it in the picture. i weighed him tonight and he was 16lbs 3oz! a huge difference from brandon at this age. jack has his 6mo check up next week and i'm *trying* to get him to what brandon weighed at his 1 YEAR check up, 16lbs 10oz. we'll see if it happens!
he's still the sweetest, most huggable baby in the world. i rocked him to sleep tonight and cherished every breath i felt on my neck. i am so blessed to be their mommy.

That is so sad about Brandon's poop situation! I can't imagine how scary and painful that must have been for him. I'm glad he is doing better. And Jack is so cute, you seriously could enter him in a baby contest and he would probably win!
thanks, sherrie!
i hope brandon is doing ok today. jax and jacob loved carrots-still do, actually.
they are so cute, your boys!
