Uncorked

This past weekend was a tough one. My sweet little guy had been eating rice cereal and oatmeal like a champ. I was so proud of him. Unfortunately, I had no idea it was jamming him up big time! Full on constipation. It was the saddest thing to watch the little guy strain and strain, tears in his eyes, red faced till he cried. It was awful. The pediatrician told me to give him some Karo syrup, friends said prunes, Internet said a warm bath. I tried everything and finally on Sunday morning (Grayson and I skipped church) it was over. It was the most horrible thing to watch him go through, since there was nothing I could do. I am so glad he was able to get it all out. Afterword, we had the sweetest moment. I carried him around for about 10 minutes hugging him until he stopped crying. When I sat down he leaned against my chest and didn't want to move for about a half hour. He just wanted to snuggle in his mommy's arms and let me rub his back. I got tears in my eyes, it was such a tender time. He eventually went to sleep and was back to normal after his little nap. I love my little boy.
