Another fine mess we've got ourselves into. This afternoon the wife wanted to have Chipotle for lunch. She got her normal burrito bowl with pork, mild (tomato) salsa, rice, black beans and guacamole. I got something similar. We like the bowl because we can mix up the ingredients so we don't take a bite of the normal burrito and have a mouth full of nothing but rice.
Anyway....
We had a good afternoon, after the baby's feeding he was alert and just looking around. We enjoy this because we can see just how he's pulling everything in. It was time for another feeding and the wife just got through eating a meatless taco soup we like. It has various ingredients including tomatoes, beans, refried beans, corn, etc.
We head off to church and we're thinking the car ride will knock him out so we can attend class without baby interference. Nope, this was not to happen, he just looked around. The people at church were amazed that 1) the wife was moving around so soon after a C-section (just 6 days ago) and 2) the baby was alert and quiet. He did start to get a little fussy at about 45 minutes into the class so I went to the back of the classroom to bounce and hold him so he wouldn't disturb the class. He did go to sleep.
When we got home it was time for his 9 o'clock feeding. The feeding went well as they have been lately (see previous post). After the feeding, we put him down and his eyes opened up. No big deal, I watched his little eyelids start to and finally close. About 15 minutes later I pass the bassinet and it looks like his eyes are open. I take a closer look and sure enough, they're open. Now I'm a bit concerned as he hasn't had more than 2 "awake and alert" times in a day.
The wife gets him up and he is VERY gassy. Painfully gassy. "Why is this?" we're wondering. She holds the baby and I go and start to clean the kitchen. This is when I throw away the Chipotle bowl. Crud!! We had BEANS for lunch today. Now we remember that we were told that broccoli can make a baby gassy if mom eats it and is nursing. We let slip that beans are a gassy food. We're in for a long night and it's all our fault. As the writing of this (12:41 am) we're about to put him back to sleep after his midnight feeding. It looks like we might be out of the woods, but I don't want to jinx ourselves. So much for my previous post about getting 2 hours of sleep between feedings.
Live and learn.
God is good.
