Warning too much info here....
I was hoping it was a good thing...Serena pooped every day from Friday through Sunday...even twice on Sunday...extremely rare for her. Then we started with the 4 times on Monday the last two which were not her normal consistency (clearly after I posted yesterday). Then again this morning...diarrhea. It has to be her body getting rid of whatever was in her baby food. I am calling her pedi this morning, and a bunch of other people. I don't want it to take 2 weeks for the company to tell me it was nothing. I don't believe it. My little girl NEVER poops this much!

God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Our story
After 5 months of a healthy pregnancy with spontaneous twins, we found out at 23 weeks and 2 days gestation something was terribly wrong. For reasons still unknown, I was in preterm labor, 3 cms dilated and my membranes with baby A were funneling out of my cervix. I lasted only 3 days on bedrest with meds in the hospital, and on September 29, 2006, Serena and Edwin, Jr were born at only 23 weeks 5 days gestation. They weighed 1lb 3oz and were 12" long. They were in the NICU for 122 days and we encountered some of the most frightening times of our lives. We nearly lost Edwin many times, and it is truly a miracle that both survived.
Serena and Edwin, Jr are amazing and show us every day just how precious life is and how amazing it can be. We are humbled by the support and love we have found since entering this world of prematurity.
Currently, our preemie "struggles" involve Edwin's hypotonic cerebral palsy and need for a reverse walker and AFOs, Serena's paralyzed vocal cord, and their continued oxygen needs while sick.
We are passionate about issues related to prematurity and about sharing the very special lives of two amazing children.
I am first and foremost a mom, who works with "at-risk" youth in after-school settings. I am currently pursuing a masters in school counseling. Edwin, Sr is a professional boxer with a record of 10-0 with 7KOs. My email address is rapa.stephanie@gmail.com

Honestly - that sounds like she's picked up something...every time we've had diarrhea from food (gotta love intolerances...) it's happened a lot sooner than that.
Did you introduce anything new over the weekend?

Nothing new over the weekend, and I probably shouldn't have used the term diarrhea...it's just soft, and that is not typical of Serena. I asked the nurse the same thing...wouldn't she have gotten sick right away...she said not necessarily. Anyway we are doing stool samples and will have some results as soon as she goes enough to fill 7 containers....whoa this is going to be fun! Thankfully she has no fever and is her active smiley self. So who knows if her more pooping it related to the food or just because she is becomming more regular with age and with more baby food in her diet. Either way, I am anxious to find out what was in her baby food, and I hope it was only guava fruit skin...
Oh my goodness, that is so scary!!! I hope Serena didn't pick something up from that food! Please keep us updated. What is the brand of the food she ate?
