A Whole Week?

I can’t believe it’s been a whole week since this kid’s been born. We had a brit for him, this morning. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. I still winced.
I took this picture to see how much he’s changed. In the photos, I can’t see much of a difference. However, we can see changes in him, every day.
We’re home (and more pics, by request)

We came home, today. Everybody’s doing great! Thanks to everyone who has emailed, called, etc. We appreciate all the support we’ve been given.
Right now, we’re just enjoying parenthood. The balance of taking care of everything and trying make sure everyone has the rest they need has been… interesting. A friend of mine said it will all become second nature. I sure hope so 
Baby Seth has arrived!

I don’t have much time to write this. Our son is now just over an hour old. He was born at 2:56 Central. His weight is 6 pounds, 14 ounces. He’s 18 and 3/4 inches long. His pic is above. Click on it for a larger version. I’ll write/post more later.

Apparently, I can’t count. When I was told that the bris should occur on the 8th day of life, I took that as 8 days after birth. So, I made all arrangements with my family to come in for a Friday ceremony.
Then, the Mohel corrected me. If a boy is born on a Thursday, his circumcision takes place on the following Thursday.
So, the situation was that we could either ask my family to try to change their plane tickets, hotel reservations, etc, with less than a week’s notice, or we could try to move the birth back one day. After much discussion, we decided to talk to the doctor.
The doctor was very gracious and made all arrangements to move back one day. So, ignore my last post. Our son will be born on March 2nd.

So, we’re down to one week. We’re checking in on the evening of January 28 and our son should be born on March 1st. The nursery is half-done. The house is mostly rearranged. We’re winding up. I looked back at all my posts for the past several months. I realized how little I wrote about the impending addition to our family. At first, I couldn’t believe I didn’t have more to put forth. Then, I realized that this is actually a good thing.
As little material as it gave me, my wife’s pregnancy was pretty uneventful. Our son has developed well and there have been little to no issues. As our paranatologist said, “A boring pregnancy is a good pregnancy.”

So, I’m back to not being able to write too often. Hopefully, this will keep you entertained, until I do.

At least, that’s what the doctor said, yesterday. His estimated weight was 5 pounds, 3 ounces. That’s up from the 2 pounds, 13 ounces he weighed just a month, prior. The doc said that the amount of growth is normal. At this rate, we figure he’ll be just a bit above 8 pounds at the end of the term.
We’ll be sending birth announcements to NFL recruiters…

Comment Spammers!

So I haven’t written, in a while. Things have been really busy with getting ready for the baby and work and the Theater (I’m running sound for a production of Angels in America). I planned on writing some stuff, today, but, to my surprise, my little blog was the target of a SPAM attack.
For some reason, SPAMMERS think that posting their ads for porn, casinos, and “Canadian Medications” on blogs will increase their snake-oil traffic. I remember when the Internet was friendly, honest place.
I spent all morning removing those SPAM comments and trying to set up some filters. Hopefully, things will get better and I can return to writing comments that don’t explain why I haven’t been writing comments…

This is a picture from our front door. It’s hard to believe that it was 70 degrees on Tuesday. That’s local weather for you. So far, we’ve had over 3 inches in just a few hours and it’s not letting up. Crazy….
A Womb — but, no view

So, we really expected to know the gender of our baby by the time we were finished with our appointment. But, it was not to be so. The conclusion from the doctor was, “I’m inclined to think it’s a girl, but it’s still a 50/50 shot.”
On the very bright side, the baby appears to be completely healthy. The heart is beating well. All the organs are there — in the right spot. All appendages are there.
The picture, above, shows a side view, with the hand up to the head, near the mouth.
22 weeks, down. 18 weeks to go.
