Welcome to Oh SEAMUS

Many of my friends suggested I should start a blog because the lunacy in our house is too much for the standard Facebook Status.  I thought I'd give it a try but can't guarantee I can keep it up.  I've titled it "Oh SEAMUS" because I swear I say that more then any other phrase I have ever said. Sometimes in exasperation but mostly not.  Our Seamus is a funny, funny boy.  

We should have known what we were getting when we had Seamus.  It took a huge act of science to get us Liam.  We waited anxiously every month to see if we were pregnant and month after agonizing month we were not.  After nearly a year and a half we finally found ourselves expecting.  We walked on eggshells, followed every rule ever written about having a healthy baby and 3 weeks early, there's Liam.  Early yet huge.  

Seamus on the other hand was a poorly timed surprise, his sense of humor evident at conception. We had just closed the day before on a new house.  Twice the price of the house we were in.  The sale of our current house had fallen though.  We had two mortgages and no maternity insurance (thinking we would buy it when we though to try again).  Looking back this is very funny, then....not so much.  With my second pregnancy many of those precious rules were broken.  I lifted, drank coffee, took a sip or two of wine or beer, ate soft cheese and lunch meat.  Threw caution to the wind.....it shows.

Now I am not putting Seamus above Liam.  Liam is very funny in his own way, usually unintentionally.  This blog will address both of them but Seamus does provide a lot more material.  He loves to get a laugh out of people and is a born performer.  Where Liam is quiet and serious Seamus is a loud riot.  He laughed from the time he was a month old.  Don't try to tell me it's gas, it was a belly laugh.  I have had gas, it's not that funny.

They love each other beyond reason though which I love.  I laugh almost all the time.  Although their love for each other often has them teaming up against me....like today.   

Am off to my niece and nephew's Harambe so will post more another time.
