Hunter is over his diarrhea. The Doc said it could have been a few different things. His poop test came back negative but they don't test for everything. We are pretty sure he got some kind of bug. I can't remember if it had a name or not, Bobbie knows all about that stuff but she is sleeping from work last night. But he had it for about 8 or 9 days total, he lost about 5 ounces and got a wicked rash. But now he is eating more than he did before, he seems to have gained all his weight back plus some, and is a healthy, happy baby.

Hunter's diapers
Hunter's innards have out-grown his perfect fit diapers. What I mean is that his diapers fit him well but about every three to four days he will pee so much that the diaper cannot contain it. I think his 12 lb. baby-body has a 20 lb. baby bladder. Sometimes it will only be his normal three or four hour period during the day between changes and that thing gets so full it weighs as much as he does. And since he sleeps through the night, when we get up in the morning and he has had one of these fire-hydrant episodes in his pants, his whole outfit is soaked on the back. So far this has not been accompanied by poop, except when he had the runs, but you could hardly tell the difference anyway.

You sound super informed to me Bryan. WHat a good dad
Thank goodness, something other than the bug-eyed coyote! We miss you guys...move closer!
Have you tried the Huggies overnight diapers? They are supposed to hold more. Maybe your little guy could wear them during the day too! :) How is the cute little guy doing anyway?
Hunter and I have a lot in common.
Brandi says if he's chunky, go with Huggies for less pee leakage. If he's skinny, go with Pampers. I say stick a sponge in there. It will become like a teddy bear that he can carry around...a nice comfort sponge.
Welcome back to the blog! Very informative update.
