This is a link to a picture taken this last thursday, just after the 20 week mark. In addition to the normal ultrasound screens to make sure the baby is healthy (and to confirm gender, a boy), the doctor gave us a little surprise in the form of this image. His name will be Elijah Nathaniel Sher, and he's due on Sept. 12th. We're hoping to raise him as a fellow geek, but knowing rebellious kids, he might turn out to be a stockbroker or jock for all we know. :)

I'm really excited about this, especially now that we know that the boy is healthy and free of any obvious issues, and while I've posted about this elsewhere, I realized I hadn't mentioned it here yet, so... here we are!

- Isaac! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292413#Comment_292413 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292413#Comment_292413 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 21:44:12 -0700 Alan Tyson http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292414#Comment_292414 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292414#Comment_292414 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 21:46:02 -0700 RenThing http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292417#Comment_292417 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292417#Comment_292417 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 22:49:08 -0700 IsaacSher http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292423#Comment_292423 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292423#Comment_292423 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 00:42:35 -0700 Ryan S Thomason http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292424#Comment_292424 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292424#Comment_292424 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 00:56:37 -0700 shining_lion http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292432#Comment_292432 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292432#Comment_292432 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 03:29:08 -0700 government spy

You should get to as many live gigs, have sleep ins and all the things you take for granted in the next 20 weeks as you will not be able to after September.

You never realise just how precious a commodity sleep is until a baby arrives.

It is all worth it. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292636#Comment_292636 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292636#Comment_292636 Sun, 01 May 2011 14:21:45 -0700 jackcrowder http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292651#Comment_292651 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292651#Comment_292651 Sun, 01 May 2011 16:12:43 -0700 icelandbob

I have a 7 month old and I am doubtful anything could be greater. Get sleep, the first four months are a climb. And hum every song you know when the little one needs to sleep. I've hummed nieces and nephews and my own to sleep many times. It is the secret no one thought to tell me. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292700#Comment_292700 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292700#Comment_292700 Sun, 01 May 2011 21:28:35 -0700 Neila http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292724#Comment_292724 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292724#Comment_292724 Sun, 01 May 2011 22:50:48 -0700 government spy http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292728#Comment_292728 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292728#Comment_292728 Sun, 01 May 2011 23:08:02 -0700 trini_naenae http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292860#Comment_292860 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292860#Comment_292860 Mon, 02 May 2011 16:15:36 -0700 Darkest http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292904#Comment_292904 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292904#Comment_292904 Tue, 03 May 2011 02:12:27 -0700 razrangel http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292950#Comment_292950 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292950#Comment_292950 Tue, 03 May 2011 11:25:50 -0700 hmobius http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292954#Comment_292954 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=292954#Comment_292954 Tue, 03 May 2011 11:49:53 -0700 sellmeyoursoul http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293121#Comment_293121 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293121#Comment_293121 Wed, 04 May 2011 03:48:16 -0700 Dan Kelly
Like Ryan ours is 7 months (today in fact) and yes sleep is interesting. According to "the books" he should be able to sleep through the night. These books seem to take no account of things like teething, stomach aches, nightmares from going on holiday (related to changing numbers of people or changing environments) etc...

But anyhoo. Well done. And enjoy it. The good stuff sticks. The rubbish bits fade quickly ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293131#Comment_293131 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293131#Comment_293131 Wed, 04 May 2011 04:21:12 -0700 IsaacSher
On the other hand, I wish like hell that either Gretchen or I made enough money that one of us could afford to be a stay-at-home parent, but that's a pipedream at best right now. Gretchen's going to get about 7 weeks of paid maternity leave, but after that, we're pretty much going to have to put Elijah into day care when he's two months old, and I *hate* that. But I don't see a way around it. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293151#Comment_293151 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293151#Comment_293151 Wed, 04 May 2011 06:53:48 -0700 sellmeyoursoul http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293152#Comment_293152 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9816&Focus=293152#Comment_293152 Wed, 04 May 2011 06:56:16 -0700 Kradlum
You should either get as much sleep between now and the birth as you can (actually a few weeks before the birth as a tossing and turning mother-to-be will keep you awake anyway), or practice living on very little sleep at all. My youngest has just turned 3 months and my eyes are about ready to drop out of their sockets which will allow my liquified brain to seep out, but a smile from the baby soon makes up for the exhaustion. ]]>
