For those readers who are still pre-child, one of the “healthy baby” signs that the hospital looks for in the first 24 hours is a healthy poop (which is black and tarry). So you can imagine our unreasonably jubilant delight, which would look strange to the uninitiated, when Avi produced a gallon of the black tarry stuff at about 6 pm tonight. Apparently, Avi got excited too, for he nearly shot out Holly’s eye with an equally impressive stream of pee. Holly dodged it as expertly as Bush dodges shoes, but the geyser of pee shot two full body lengths over Avi’s head and onto some hospital forms that, we’ve now decided, weren’t important. Our boy has mad flow.
No picture on this one, all. You’re welcome.
