Oh Baby




Well friends our little one is teaching us patience already!! We received over 20 images of our little bundle of joy but that baby would not show us if it is a boy or a girl. I will keep your votes ready and should hopefully have some news for you soon. The important part is that the images were so clear that we now know that our little one has all fingers and toes, a beautifully formed heart, and knows how to give a high 5. The baby kept sticking his/her thumb in their mouth which made me cry. Seeing our little one flip and turn was one of the biggest blessings in my life. What a joy!! The instructor said that she thought she could see something sticking out (possibly a boy) but she wasn't willing to confirm since we didn't get a clear picture.
I feel so blessed to have found Virginia College in Austin which offers free ultrasounds from students who are in school to be ultrasound techs. Since we are self employed my insurance only covers 2 ultrasounds and any others would have had to be paid for out of pocket. Since Virginia college offers FREE ultrasounds on Wednesdays from 4-6 for their students lab work I would recommend going there to any expecting mom. You can call them at 512-371-3500 EXT 2814. Again the only lab time available is from 4-6 on Wednesdays but it is a very private and intimate where 2 hours will be spent on you.
I am thankful for all of your kind words, well wishes, and prayers. Please continue to pray for our little one as it grows and grows. It can now hear our voices! How neat is that!

  2. It's amazing how fast they grow isn't it :) From merely seeing a heartbeat on the first ultrasound to being able to see fingers and toes at this ultrasound... I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear if Baby Childress is a boy or girl!!
