Saving it...just for me!

So I never thought I would be one of those moms talking about my child's poopy diapers, but here I am....about to do it!  hehe!  It's just one of those stories!  So Addison has decided to try and make an appearance in the Guinness book of World records for going the longest time without going #2.  Or so that's what I think she was trying to do!  So on Father's day, it had been four days since she had a dirty diaper, I was a bit worried, but she didn't seem in pain or anything.  That afternoon, it finally came...all four days of it.  Kody was there and was able to help me.  Thankfully I was already in the process of changing her, so it didn't get everywhere.  After that day, days and days went by and still no poop.  I finally called her doc at day 7 and I told her she wasn't extra fussy, her tummy wasn't hard and she didn't seem to be in pain or anything.  Doc said she could just be absorbing it all and may not have extra waste.  She told me I could put some prune juice in her bottle (YUCK!) and see if that helps.  So I did and still noting.  ugghh!  Day 8, 9, 10, 11, 12....still nothing!  Who goes 12 days without going!  That has to be painful!  So day 13 comes and she finally has a dirty diaper, (YAY!) but it is definitely not 2 weeks worth.  So Sunday comes, which is day 14th.  (July 3rd)  I got her ready for church and feed her so that we can get to church a little early. At the end of feeding her, I hear her go to the restroom!  I'm all excited that she went.  So I go and change her, wait a sec to see if she's finished, nothing more comes, so I put the new diaper on, put her bloomers on and pick her up.  As soon as I pick her up I hear her going again!  My thoughts were like "REALLY???"  So I put her down, put a new diaper under her and wait!  This one was a doozy!  YA'LL, she filled FOUR diapers!  I was a crazy person trying to keep it from getting everywhere.  Everytime she would stop and I would think she was finished, I would put a new diaper under her and she would go some more.  Not a little but a lot!  I stood there for 15 mins. watching her go to the restroom and cleaning her up!  I definitely needed more hands.  Needless to say we were not early to church!  BUT  I did keep her cute outfit from getting dirty!  :-)  I'm just hoping this is not going to be a recurring event!    So far, Sundays for her have not only been a day of rest but a day of relief!  HAHA!  If this happens again, I'm definitely calling her doctor, because this is so not normal!  So that's my story and hopefully the last about her saving it all up for an explosion!
