Introducing grandchild #8 -- Daxson Allred

Carly had an ultrasound Tuesday to verify the reason she has been nauseated and gaining weight. These photos show the result along with mommy's comments....

This is his belly and heartbeat. His little head is still lodged quite low, so his legs and arms have a lot more room to wiggle than his head, but maybe one day he'll get bored down there and move. The larger spikes in the heartbeat (shown toward the bottom of the picture) are actually hiccups. Seems like he's taking after mommy on that one!

This is a 4-D picture of his face. It's not as clear as it could be, again because he insists on being squashed so far down, but you can see the eyes, nose and mouth pretty clearly. It looks like his little hand is up by his face, and you can see his belly toward the bottom (he's right in the middle of the picture).

Pretty clear shot that he is indeed a "he." Robbie and Uncle Matt both wanted Machel, my midwife, to measure it..... Anyway, that's our little baby! It's starting to get more exciting, but still slightly surreal. Though it's been a rough pregnancy for me so far, my heart aches for the people I know that have had struggles to get or stay pregnant. You are in our prayers! Love, Carly
