I got jinxed
Amber, I think you jinxed me. So much for a sleeping baby today. :P He took one longer (an hour at the most) nap today. Other than that, he's been dozing off for 10-15 minutes at a time, only to be woken by gas. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes colicky. I've been trying to prepare myself for the possibility. My brother had really bad colic. Mom tells me he cried from 8am to 9pm (for 3 months) but only woke up for one feeding at night. She also said that it didn't start until he was 9 or 10 days old. Well, Elias is 10 days old today. For now it's just gas since colic is defined as screaming for 3 straight hours at least 3 days a week.
I bought some gripe water online in hopes that it might help with the gas. That should arrive next week. Mom bought some from Canada when she went to buy her Zyrtec (Reactin) today, but it's a different brand than what I ordered and has sucrose in it. Apparently it was the only brand (Life) Shopper's Drugmart had. I'd just rather not feed Elias something with sucrose. :\
Here's to hoping he'll sleep tonight...as I jinx myself
