Peas!

I have written about this before, but Ava doesn't poop very much.  Ever since she was born it has only been about once a week.  From what I've read, and what Ava's pediatrician says that is pretty normal for some babies.  As of last Sunday she had gone 15 days without pooping!!  Rafael and I were getting really worried about her.  We called the hospital on Sunday morning and the on call nurse told us to go to the emergency room!!!  We were SO freaked out!  The doctor felt her stomach and said it felt soft which is good.  They did some x-rays and said there was a lot of poop in there, it just needed to find it's way out.  They told us to give her a teaspoon of Karo syrup.  Two hours later, she pooped! YAY!!  We called the gastroenterologist on Monday and got an appointment for today.  That doctor suggested we continue the karo syrup daily, do baby suppositories once a week, AND...... start giving her vegetables!!!!  Ava has never has anything but breast milk, so it was kinda fun! :)  The Doc didn't think there was anything seriously wrong, but just thought we might need to regulate things and get her digestion working right.  Here are some photos of her first veggies!  She liked them!!
