I admit that I have a problem. That's the first step, right? So here goes: I admit that I am obsessed with searching the internet for answers to life's questions. Its 2 am. I should be asleep. What have I been doing for the last hour and a half: researching. I have now worked myself into a complete froth because the internet told me that my son has reflux and that Northwest Airlines is the worst to fly with babies. It must be true because Google says so. After searching exhaustively for information about why my son is such a miserable wee soul and specifically how miserable I am going to be on my upcoming flight, I decided it was time to go to bed. I am sure you won't be surprised that my head was filled with thoughts of my baby puking on the person in the seat next to me on the plane, while exposing my breast to the entire cabin, both of us crying hysterically and then getting kicked off the plane. Ok ok. Thats probably not going to happen. Even I know that. However, it doesn't stop me from worrying and feeling guilty. The internet is a magical thing...all of that information at your fingertips. However, I think I should ban myself! The whole reflux thing is particularly bothering me as E does seem to have some of the symptoms--lots of vomit, crying after a feed. But then other things make me think is not that as he NEVER vomits at night and sleeps really well. It could be other things like he over eats and just a grumpy fella. Honestly, all I want is for him to be happy... and good looking and smart and to survive being raised by us and to be a liberal and to start playing with toys and to sleep through the night and not to get us kicked off the plane and to learn how to get a beer out of the fridge and to decide whether or not he is teething and to try and tolerate his pram for more than 5 minutes and to stop getting nappy rash and... So no pressure there! I should try and go to bed...I have to admit its not very enticing as I can hear Ellis and Kevin snoring in chorus through the baby monitor. Why do boys have to be so icky?
