Day 155: Mommy Tales

Thank goodness I've read a lot about poop during the first months that when Ren stopped pooping everyday, we didn't go on complete panic mode at the house. Everyone got really worried. He stopped pooping for 3 days and the last, 6 days. I had to recheck the sites I've read and got back the same message, as long as it's not over a week and he doesn't look like he's having any tummy aches and is healthy and happy, there is no problem at all. As long as he's eating well and when his poop comes out, they're as creamy as ever, then he doesn't have constipation and everything is just fine.

His cradle cap is mostly gone now. I haven't been on any medication for a while and that helps. JR got rid of the scaly stuff on the top of Ren's head and baby was bald for a while. The hair has grown back up now. A bit more of the cap has grown but with a little baby oil (sunflower and grape seed oil based), it was easy enough to get rid of without his getting bald once again.

My father-in-law has been taking care of baby. They have been getting along quite well. I'm glad to have good in-law relationships. It's better this way but it's embarrassing to be so dependent on a guy. I wish I can be supermom again but I'm so sleepy these days.

Ren and I went to the office last week. I'm such a proud mom. He was so well-behaved. Not my words but my officemates'. Such a cute baby, really.

I hate going back to work after a weekend. There's the rush and the feeling of how no one in the office really knows just how guilty it feels for a nursing mother not to be there and nurse her child. I wish, really, I just wish that I could have the luxury of quitting and staying at home and just feed little Ren all the time.
