Alone again

This is the first time since I brought Gabriel home from the hospital that I have been alone. Well, okay, not really alone; Gabriel is here, and so is the cat. I am, however, completely without adult supervision. J. went back to work today, and it is so quiet, it kinda freaks me out a little. I have always cherished my alone time, because I get it so seldom. I kinda miss having J. home with me, though.

I think I may have figured out part of the reason Gabriel has been so fussy in the late afternoon/early evening for the last few days. Yes, I know "happy hour" fussing is perfectly normal. I think we may have a milk imbalance contributing to it. After spending an hour or so following links and reading at kellymom and asking for input from the ladies on PAL, I am trying block nursing to see if that makes any difference. So far, the change seems to have helped---even though he was still fussy this evening, it wasn't nearly as bad as the last few evenings have been, and he was more easily soothed. Also, the apparent "gassiness" was almost non-existent today. Here's hoping the nursing change continues to work!
