Samuel Gray Dugmore Bishop
On the morning of 30 April 2009, I went into hospital for an elective caesarean – the baby was not growing particularly well, so it was decided that he/she would be better off out than in. All went well, and at 08:28 our little boy was born with Apgars of 9 and 10. He is smallish – with a birth weight of 2.7kg – but he’s a champion eater so we expect he’ll catch up soon.
Samuel means “God hears”, Gray is David’s second name (and a family name on his mom’s side) and Dugmore is my maiden name (for those who can’t remember that far back).
Matthew has taken it all rather well considering. He has mostly ignored Sam, though he did spend some time throwing him imaginary cheese to eat. He also says “Goodbye” and “See you later” to him very enthusiastically.
We are well aware that challenging times lie ahead, but feel very blessed to have two beautiful, healthy little boys.

Deafening silence
The sad truth behind the deafening silence on our blog lies in the fact that our camera has died – it had been ailing for a over a year and has finally thrown in the towel. It was about five years old, so I guess we can’t really complain… Since my posts are usually nothing more imaginative than a picture with little more than a caption, I have felt paralysed by the lack of photos to talk about.
But suffice to say that our boy remains an absolute delight. In fact, he’s becoming progressively more so(though I’d not have thought that possible a few months ago - each stage is better than the last...).
Of far more interest than what we get up to, however, are the goings on at

PS My husband keeps nagging me to update “our” blog, which is what prompted me to write this. Why he doesn’t do it himself I don’t know…
