Day 47 - Jan 16

After another long night with Shane, today we had a good run with a happy baby. So I think I figured the reason for his fussy-ness. He is just trying to fart / poop, and is having a lot of difficulty with letting the gas out. Once he let his one big time fart out and did a whole big poopy diaper (never seen so much poop in the last 47 days), he was fine.

He was smiling and laying quietly on the bed entertaining himself (yes it means swinging his arms and legs in the air and playing with himself). Everyone recommends that we should swaddle him. No, he hates being swaddled. So yea, we let him have his flying hands and legs.

So the gas started building up again this afternoon and he got cranky again. And again he let out a big fart, and then self soothed himself to sleep on the bed.

The question now is… how do I control the gas. Something that I haven't yet figured out yet.
