Warning: System Critical and miscellany

It has been quite some time since we've mentioned anything about poop. Additionally, it has been quite some time since Genevieve has pooped. Tomorrow will be seven days without any bowel movements. The doctor told us not to worry about it but that we could give her some prune juice if we had an occasion we wished to accommodate for. We were planning on giving her some before we flew down to Georgia next week but if she hasn't soiled any diapers by tomorrow she'll be getting some juice then too.

On an unrelated note, I noticed something about the passage of time. Our lives are so busy now with the day to day tribulations of taking care of Genevieve that small periods of time seem much longer. It seems so long ago that we were waking up every 3 hours in the middle of the night. It seems like months since she would go through 4 diapers during a single diaper change. I know they say that kids seem to grow up so quickly that the next thing you know they are walking out the door but it seems like just the opposite right now. The past 3 months feel like ages ago. It isn't like every moment seems to crawl but just that so many things happen so quickly that my normal perception of passing time seems off.

Finally, another non-sequitur, pouting. Genevieve seems to have learned to pout on her own. Just before she is about to cry she will often push her lower lip out as far as it can go before she lets off a wail. It is incredible. We never taught her this facial expression yet, there it is. It is really cool to see some of these hardwired human features. I would never have guessed that pouting was one of them.
