I woke up at 5:30 for my overnight bottle and man (or should I say, “baby”) was I hungry. I downed 4.5 ounces of the good stuff and then fell back asleep until 8:00. Mom and Dad decided to get off to a super-productive beginning and we went straight to Whole Foods for our weekly grocery trip. But, when Mom got my stroller ready she lined it with a water-proof pad. Why? I hadn’t pooped in over three and a half days. (It’s officially a poop watch after three full days have passed with a back-door expulsion.) She was in fear that I would have a blow-out at the store and explode all over my stroller. But not to fear, the trip to the store went off without a hitch.
After we were home safe and sound, I finally let loose and let out an avalanche of bowel movement. Dad was so happy – he even made up a cheer for me. After eating lunch around 11:30, Aunt Isabelle came by and the four of us went out for brunch. First we tried to go to Le Pain Quotidien, but there wasn’t much room for me (with stroller). Then we tried to go to Alice’s Teacup, but didn’t want to wait an hour for a table. Finally, we made it to Josie’s — the same place we had Mother’s Day brunch last weekend. On our way to brunch, we ran into Mom’s old friend from Stanford, (and Olympic gold medalist) Sarah. I don’t know much about probability, but running into a very close friend who lives in Minneapolis on the Upper West Side of Manhattan seems crazy.
Brunch was fun and uneventful and we headed back home in a sprinkling rain (but I was covered up, of course). I ate a snack and before long, Uncle Mac came by to visit. He held me like a pro! I look even smaller than I am compared to him. After he left, Dad got a pretty bad headache (again!). He wanted to give Mom a break from taking care of me, so he took me into the bed with him and curled up next to me. I was wide awake, butI knew that Mom and Dad could really use some peace and quiet, so I just hung out in the dark and made little noises. After about half an hour, Mom fed me and we hopped in bed for the night, around 9:00.
