She also shared this adorable picture of her son James taking a bubble bath. (Isn’t he adorable?!) Some fans just couldn’t take their eyes off of the cuteness. “He’s got some beautiful eyes!” wrote reddit user Coleatemycereal. User -yasssss- wrote “That little baby comb-over is giving my ovaries a lot of feelings right now.” But others thought that this could be a dangerous shot.
“The water level is scary high ,” wrote user SarahJeanQueen. “Both her hands are on her phone I’m assuming, just takes one dip under and perhaps you can’t find him right away.. Ugh, too scary. When mine was a newborn the water was never this high. User Halem27 wrote, “That water is so high and it looks like soapy water that could easily go into his mouth.”
Others were concerned about this shot for different reasons.
“This will be so hard for Leah to see when she gets older,” theorized curlyq222. “Her mom is fawning over this new baby but barely gives her the time of day. She has all of these perfect pictures of James, and the photographic evidence of Leah’s babyhood is….bleak. Screaming in an empty apartment, her mom beating up her dad. Being in the same filthy diaper all the time.” But user ArtHistoryBarista wrote, “I hope this helps Amber develop a better relationship with Leah eventually too – it may help her grow as a mom and that would be great. Leah may feel jealous but she may also just be happy for her sibling that he had a better childhood than she did and grateful for her dad and stepmom for providing her with stability and love throughout.”
It looks like Amber may still have some learning to do when it comes to becoming a mother, but her fans are confident that she’ll do right by James in the long run. In the meantime, many viewers just want to know what the future holds for her relationship with Andrew! In fact, Amber has recently spoken out about the idea of marrying Andrew!
Wedding Bells?

It goes without saying that Amber and Andrew will be in one another’s lives for a long time. Since Amber had their baby, they’ll have to be partners in raising him whether they want to or not! But their relationship seems to be going stronger than ever, and now Amber is opening up about their thoughts on getting married.
“[Andrew has] been asked that many times,” Amber spilled to Ok! Magazine. “I don’t think what he’s thinking and he wouldn’t tell me anyways because I’m sure he would want it to be a surprise,” she explains.
But is marriage on the cards? Apparently the couple is too busy focusing on their baby coming to think about it! “We haven’t really been talking about [it],” Amber revealed.
“We are just living together, loving each other and waiting for this beautiful baby to come!” Amber said. “It’s up in the air, I don’t know!”
When Ok! asked Amber what she thought about having more kids with Andrew, she seemed open to the idea!
“That’s life…You never know what is going to happen,” Amber said. “I’m so happy to have my boo boo, little girl and my little boy, it’s perfect. I am open to anything in the future, if it happens if we decide to have another baby, we will see, but we are going to focus on little James and boo boo right now and really just be happy as a family together and build a life together.”
Unfortunately, someone with a lot of insight about Amber recently theorized that her relationship with Andrew was doomed!
Dr. Ish Major and Dr. Venus Nicolino watched Amber’s relationship with Matt dissolve firsthand as they hosted Marriage Boot Camp. Now Dr. Ish is speaking out about Amber’s new relationship.
“The issues with [her new relationship] is the impulsivity of it,” Dr. Ish told In Touch Weekly. “You are in a program designed to get you some closure and move forward in your life, in wherever direction that takes you — but while you’re in the program, the guy you came with doesn’t work out, so you end up with another guy, and you ended up getting pregnant — it’s a mess.” He added that Amber’s “personality issue” may have contributed to her inability to be alone.
“I certainly don’t like the fact that it happened while she was there, and it speaks to me that there might be more of the same in store for her with [Andrew],” Dr. Ish went on. “The thing that’s the same in every dysfunctional relationship she’s had is her. She’s the common link. That makes me worry for her in this relationship also.”
Dr. Venus chimed in to agree, “While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, we shouldn’t find stability in our children or in our relationships. Stability needs to come from within us.”
Now someone very close to Amber is defending her choice to stay with Andrew: her brother, Shawn.
“When I said that Andrew ‘contains her’ in a sense, I mean it,” Shawn spilled to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup . “Her mood and her behavior has chilled out a lot since they’ve been together. I have never shied away from the fact that I believe she moves really quickly, but I think this is one move that she made that has benefited her health and her family situation.”
He revealed that now that Amber’s with Andrew, she’s doing very well. “I have seen her ups and her downs and I have seen her at her worst,” he said. “Because of that I can honestly say, without a doubt, that she is doing better now than she has in 15 years.”
And Amber is far from the only one who has been facing heat for her parenting decisions. Recently, Leah Messer came under fire for what she let her daughters do!
