Lol...I have named my Almanzo cuz my surgeon was Dr Almanza and Almanso was that guy I liked on "Little House on the Praire" as a child. You know, the one Laura had a crush on and later married. I never did figure their age gap out?? Lol. I also pretend they mine is speaking Spanish when its making noises. I'm such a dork!

Bwahahaha! That made me laugh and being a dork myself, I googled it and there was a 10 year age gap lol.

Yep, the age gap was 10-12 years.. He was 25 when they met (I believe)...

This is cracking me up. I haven't named my sleeve, but I will tell you that my little tiny pillow that I've carried around to protect my tummy from kids and dogs post-op and to push against me when I'm achy, I named him. I have a history of naming essential pillows. My body pillow during my pregnancies was Phil. And this little pillow is called Bobby B. Said like the person who does the Whitney Houston parody on SNL.

Now, to think of a name for my sleeve. Hmmm.. It better be unique.

Mine is sleevie :) I love HIM :)

Ever since surgery I call my tummy my "baby tummy" because I literally easy like a baby lol. Even at work when I say I'm hungry, my Co workers say it's time to feed your"baby tummy" :)

I'm still pondering a name but nothing has come up and hit me in the head (or tummy).

It's darn hard to hold your own with Sleevie Wonder, which I adore.

And I had thought of Sleeve McQueen, which probably only about 10 of you have even heard of the reference. Steve McQueen was a hunky actor who died too young. I wouldn't mind having him mess with my tummy however, if I wasn't very happily married.

This thread is HILARIOUS. Loving it.

I'm not naming my little Sleevie anything else until I'm hit with a bolt of lightning. Maybe in the middle of the night. Look forward to a post at 3 a.m. or so.

For some reason Hubby and I have always referred to my sleeve as "my gullet" so I guess that's the nickname. Not very creative and charming but it is what it is...

Here's to loving my gullet!!!

Living the dream!!,

Laura

I'm thinking something like Rum Tum Tum, sorta like Rin Tin Tin and both even growl the same. And call it Rummy for short.
