Sleep and Poop

Well, it's funny that I mentioned Macy's sleeping habits last week because, of course, she threw us a curve ball right after that. She slept terribly the next two nights. So we have now decided that no matter what happens during the day, Macy is not allowed to take naps after 4:00. Probably a good idea for all babies, but up until this point it didn't matter. Once we started that, she's back to 6 to 8 hours at a time. No nap means more fuss, but I'll take it over waking up 3 times in the middle of the night!

**CAUTION - I'M ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT POOP. IF YOU ARE GROSSED OUT, SKIP THIS SECTION**

Up to this point, I don't think I've mentioned the diaper happenings in the Gebauer house, but I can't help myself. Macy has reached a new level of diaper grossness. She went 4 days without pooping last weekend, and once she did, it was a doozy. For other mothers of babies, you will appreciate this, because it was also a new kind of poop. Much more gooey and disgusting, and the smell is now much more prominent. I told Dan that I am worried that we will be known as the parents of the "Stinky Kid." It's so funny the conversations that I now get into with other moms. Who knew that poop would be a topic worthy of a 30 minute conversation?

**END POOP SECTION**

Still no progress on rolling over...we'll keep you posted. More pictures to come as well. Stay tuned!
