I'm glad I'm not the only one with the name thing. I'm starting to force myself to call him Samuel more often so I get used to it.
Raych, I think of Eden as a girl's name-- and I do think it's beautiful. If I didn't, I wouldn't say so.
Although squishy face would've been a nice choice too!
Andrea, I remember learning about Samuel Gompers in school, now that you mention it. Cool.
So I had to google Samuel Hamrick, and apparently he was a former government official of some sort (forgot already!
) and then became a spy novelist. He died four years ago.
If you google Samuel Nicholas Hamrick, first thing that comes up is my blog!
Andrea, hope your ankle feels better... glad you were able to get on... missed you around here! A month and a half feels so soon...
I love that Josie is grabbing things and found her feet!! It's so cute when they start doing more stuff!! Can't wait for that with Sam...
Isabel, I did read something about that a long time ago... I think what I read was gluten-related infertility? Or maybe lactose? Anyway, it's certainly worth looking into, if a simple change in diet could bring you the bfp you've been waiting for.
Stacey, when is your shower? Can't believe how close we are getting to meeting baby Ava!!
Logan, hope it was just a one off... probably was... unless it's maybe growth spurt related? Idk... these babies do funny things when they have a growth spurt... Or is he already done with that first one? I keep forgetting he's a whole week older than Sam... so he's almost a month old!! Wow.
It's going too fast!
Sarah-- love to hear about darragh wanting to talk to you... so cute!! and good that he's putting on weight in spite of all the spit up and poo. They're amazing in that way.
AFM... wrote about it in my journal, but basically DH was ridiculous night before last, letting Sam cry because he was coughing while he was eating and DH didn't know what to do. So he got all defensive about it and was just letting him cry.
(I'm starting to think the problem is using old rings with new bottles-- they look like they fit, but I think they're just slightly different and so are causing him to have to suck differently and that's the problem... so I've taken those old rings out and we'll see if that fixes it.)
So I finished that feeding and then later I wake up and DH is playing a video game and Sam is next to him crying and hasn't eaten in four hours. I said, why don't you feed him? He says, that's woman's work.
Seriously?
I wanted to hit him.
It's just his stupid ego and he feels like Sam is a momma's boy and that's why the whole choking thing was happening in the first place, which is stupid because he was doing it for me earlier that day. But anyway. It made me really mad and I haven't spoken to him since. He'll come around eventually, but right now... frankly, I don't want him to do anything for his children that isn't done out of love. So if he feels like it's not his job and so he's going to ignore them, that's fine with me.
Sorry for the rant.
In good news, we ordered our swingset Sunday night and then last night I ordered my ergo-- same one Rachel has.
I can't wait.
I think its gorgeous. Though I do know a little boy named that (but to me it seems more girlie then boyish). So eden is 25.2 inches?? Thats crazy!! Taller then Josie (by an inch).
