Rowie Bowie...
So for the past 2 weeks Rowan has been a pill...whether it was her cold, or teething...she has just been unhappy. Well her cold is gone, her teeth still arent through, but oh well...Sunday night, I noticed that she was extra whiney...for no apparent reason (well at that time...) until later on in the evening when I was changing her diaper...she smelled like she pooped, but no poop...so just farty...then I thought to myself, maybe she is constipated...I felt around her stomach and it was rock hard, and you could feel the poop in her stomach, all around. I felt so bad for her. Anyhow, I gave her one of those baby laxative dissolvable strips, gave her a bottle, and put her to bed. Then comes Monday...just a little poop in her diaper...not much, just a few rabbit turd type balls. Anyhow, I called the doctor, and they put her on a baby version of Miralax, because she has had constipation issues before a few times...so I go pick it up about 2 hours later. She got her first dose monday afternoon. Then before she went to bed, I gave her her 2nd dose. I figured an awesome poop would be all over by morning. Well this morning rolls around (Its Tuesday about 11:30pm right now) and just a couple little rabbit turds again. I figure it has to be coming soon. She eats breakfast and lunch really well, which for a couple days she hasnt been eating much at all. I cant get her to drink any juice or water, but she has 3 5oz bottles throughout the day. I noticed when it was time to put her down for her nap, her diaper wasnt wet...odd but nothing that I really worried about too much...well when she woke up, she had a couple little hard turds again, but nothing to be excited about. Not too wet, but maybe a pee in it. Anyhow, then I gave the kids their baths and changed dipes again around 6pm. At 9pm when I was putting the kids to bed, Rowan still hasnt peed. I am a little worried, but she did eat dinner and hasnt been acting too whiney today compared to the past couple days. She wouldnt drink her bottle before bed though. Anyhow, I am calling the doctor tomorrow morning if she hasnt pooped yet, and definitely calling if she hasnt peed still. I dont want to take her to the ER just yet (unless she wakes up and things have changed attitude wise), because she is acting ok and doesnt seem dehydrated, still has tears when she cries...and her disposition is ok. But first thing in the morning is the docs...and from there maybe he will have us take her to the ER for an IV since I cant get her to drink any liquids. Anyhow...I guess thats it for now...a weird not pooping not peeing update on Rowan. Cross your fingers that she wets at least a little through the night!! I'll update you guys on anything that happens.

Poor little Rowan. I hope she feels better and poops and pees soon.
Bless her heart. I can't imagine that's very comfortable for her. I sure hope she poops soon (ok, sounds kind of weird).
Hey, any updates? I just read this and I hope all is well in the poo and pee department.
