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 2011-04-29T21:44:12-07:00 2013-05-24T14:33:15-07:00 Alan Tyson http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1299

The image won't show (probably Facebook's doing) but nevertheless, congratulations, Isaac! Be sure to toss up some pictures of young Elijah when he arrives!

There we go, got the picture to work this time. Thanks for the headsup, Alan! Oh yes, I'll be buying a camera specifically for baby pictures.
