Poop

Forgive me if the formatting or spelling in this post is wonky; I am attempting to blog from my iTouch which is not exactly easy.

Yes, you read right. The subject of this entry is poop. Before I became a mom, I never in my life imagined I would someday spend even half as much time as I do thinking and talking about feces. But for the past almost nine months, poop has not only become a daily topic of conversation between Chris and myself (and, for that matter, anyone else who will listen), but sometiMes we talk about it multiple times a day. Not our poop, of course, but our daughter's. Color, consistancy, frequency.... These are things that are discussed in detail on a regular basis. And something that is sometimes discussed and compared with other mom friends of mine. Most of the time I don't think twice about it; this is my life now. But sometimes, like tonight, I manage to get a different perspective and I can't help but laugh at how much things have changed in the past nine months. I mean, when's the last time you talked, in detail, about poop?

Well, I talk about poop, in detail, EVERYDAY!!!! haha. I love you Erica! Life has definitely changed, hasn't it? And Even though our conversations now revolve around bowel movements and not boys or parties anymore, I wouldn't change it for the world!!! Thanks for your blog on poop. It really made my day:-)

I'm not even a mother and I discuss poop all the time. Joe gets a little grossed out by it, but Im sure once/if we have a child that will change. Poop is healthy, everyone does it, why be shy over it?
