My son is almost 2 and sleeps beside me in his cot. He starts to stir around 5am and says “morning” or “hi mama” but if I show him Im still “asleep” he drifts back off… the other morning he said “Hi Niamh”, I started to laugh so now that’s what I’m waking up to every day since🤣

After we got married the odd person would ask when we were going to have kids. Personally, it never bothered me. HOWEVER since having a child I’m constantly being asked when are we having another and it would be “cruel” to only have one. Drives me insane!

@catherineburnsx @jenbren1976 It’s because Niamh is an Irish name but there’s no “V” in the Irish language. However the “mh” together gives you the “V” sound, hence the pronunciation “Neve”. 🙅🏼‍♀️
