had Ben drive us all to lunch next.\u00a0 Our first outing with Sam was fittingly to Chick-Fil-A.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t get many pregnancy cravings.\u00a0 But with Sam I wanted to eat at Chick-Fil-A a couple times a week.\u00a0 We didn&#8217;t go quite that often, but I definitely put a lot of fried chicken sandwiches into making that kid.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\"

normal cycle of eating, pooping, and sleeping.\u00a0 Ben mustered through our mountains of laundry.\u00a0 Side note, the storms made all our water taste and smell muddy.\u00a0 We called the water company and they say everything is safe to use.\u00a0 It made laundry a bit swampy, showers smell like camping in the woods, and Ben is sticking to prepackaged beverages.\u00a0 A weird result from all the rain this week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rachelsmason\/9793319873\/\"

didn&#8217;t let up until we were discharged on Sunday.\u00a0 We had another middle name in mind, but it wasn&#8217;t clicking completely for me.\u00a0 While laboring Friday morning I suggested Storm and Ben loved it.\u00a0 Kind of superhero sounding, and meaningful to his week.\u00a0 I kind of miss the other name we were going to give him, but Storm is so great I wouldn&#8217;t go
