I can't believe I haven't posted in so long. Production schedule at school has been grueling and will be so until just before Thanksgiving. Much to report and most of it good, but I'm afraid the post drought will go on until next Wednesday.

Anyway. Had a great birthday today because we got to find out the sex of our baby! And it is a boy. We were worried that the baby would not cooperate but no sooner had the nurse put the ultrasound on than the baby started obligingly wriggling around as my eyes burst casually out of their sockets. Up until now the baby had looked like a sort of formless humanlike creature kinda hanging out in there, but it is recognizably a child now. Almost immediately he turned his rump to us, parted his legs, and proudly displayed his sexuality for all to see, then immediately relaxed and went back to chillin'. G and I hit the deli for delicious sandwiches and then I dropped her home and went off to school. Stopped for a birthday drink on the way home and now a little relaxing before bed.

Proposed name is Jack Robert Sheehan. Or J. Robert Sheehan if you're into the whole brevity thing. But he'll go by Jack. Unless he doesn't "look like a Jack," as G puts it.
