Named him Samuel Michael. For his nickname, we’re going to call him “quits”. [Think about it for a minute.]
Yep, I’m almost a month late in posting this . . . many apologies. If I listed out our month you would call me a liar. A friend quipped that we need our own personal intercessors for the family; she wasn’t kidding.
Back to Samuel. He’s been awake every night from about 11PM to 5AM. I think it’s called colic. It sure ain’t called “a good night's rest”. Amy and I have switched every few hours so we get at least a little sleep. It’s my shift right now.
You see this in sitcoms: ugly baby and nobody wants to break the news to the happy parents. Can I just say we’re not like that. We had two cute babies and two “precious” babies (that’s code for “take it back now, I just can't stand to look”).
Samuel didn’t start out so well, but he’s working out his issues. One thing in his favor is that he has had a full head of ultra-soft hair since day one; we’re talking jealous silkworms and stuff. And he eats like a champ, thus the colic-ish-iness.

Hi, just checked your blog and hurrah, a new post!
Congratulations on the birth of your son!
My new baby had a bit of trouble with colic at the beginning, but I've been taking an herbal drink that has really helped her a lot. It's worth trying out. You can get a little info about it here There should be some contact info at www.gnld.com to order it if you want. It's called Aloe Vera Plus. It's definitely worth a try! The first night we tried it, my Piper was so calm, I thought something was wrong with her!
Kelly,
Nothing like a four month hiatus to confuse people. :o)
Yeah, we've tried the Zantac, now we're on to Prevacid. We also ordered an all-natural remedy of our own . . . but I can't decide if there's any real difference at all. Thank goodness for that money-back guarantee. We might be using it.
Aw ... he's cute!
P.S. I've started doing some freelance editing and would like your advice on one or two things; do you have an email address I could reach you at?
Josh , Amy & Clan...
Congratulations on the new addition of Samuel Michael! He is a doll! :) Then again all your kiddos are doll-like! :)
We love and miss you lots! Our family is expecting another addition any day now. So now Brennan will have a baby sister (Layla Grace) . Take care and the Lord Bless you and your quiver!
