Long night last night

Sorry for the lack of updates. We're all doing fine, but dad did jinx himself with the monitor talk. It went off incessantly last night. Not because there was something wrong with Isaiah, mainly because the cord is screwed up so it likes to beep real long and loud. Its having 'communication issues' We tried calling their on call staff, but no one picked up, so his monitors are off right now which is a bit scary, but he's doing fine.

He's got diaper rash something fierce right now and some wicked gas to go along with it. The doc says its all normal due to his little GI tract just getting going and that eventually he should grow past it. It probably doesn't help that Mommy ate broccoli and pinto beans with her meals the last few days. We didn't realize the gas passes through Rachel's milk to the baby, but now we know!

Anyways, because of the alarms last night we're super exhausted and we're on our own tonight for the first time. Rachel's Mom was here the last three nights, but we've got to do this on our own once before I head back to work Monday. I think we can handle it, but the extra pair of hands always helps.

More to come later.

Shame on lacatation at the hospital not explaining that almost everything excretes into breast milk. Stay away from mexican and anything spicy. Hope they can get that monitor fixed soon so you all an rest more comfortably without worrying .
