'Gas wakes up baby'

One of the joys of parenthood is the added dimension to everyday conversation. Potty talk in particular - if you're not talking about it now, you will once darling boy or girl is born. I subscribe to Mamasource for the Monterey area, a free listserv resource for moms to share and exchange information and to help each other. I just got my daily e-update. This made me smile, despite my sympathy for baby, so I just had to share it:

gas wakes up baby in the night
I have been noticing my son waking up more frequently at night and i thought it could be a number of things...teething, learned something new, growth spurt, etc...then i noticed he was waking up a little fussing and then having gas. i am guessing the gas must be painful otherwise why would it wake him up right? his poop is normal.
about me: I am first time mom to a baby boy

Only from a first time mom, and only a baby boy. ;)
Sorry, I really don't mean to poke fun of this mom, I just see the humor in the situation. Especially as someone in my household finds it a point of pride every time Myer breaks wind or goes #2, and particularly if this occurs between the hours of 2 and 5 in the morning.
