Tired, drained and out of tears, we are still as happy as can be! We thank God for giving us the strength to get through these wonderful nine months and for giving Carla the extraordinary courage she had! Good job babe!!! Posted by Picasa

Carla's mother, a seasoned grandmother, fell in love with this one too! Posted by Picasa

Tanna and Nancy our OB Tech and Nurse, who by pure chance, happen to be the best at what they do!!! Thank you two for all that you did for us!!! Posted by Picasa

And last but not least, here is the man who helped us through the nine months!! Dr. Hickox was the best doctor we could have wished for for this special event in our life! Thanks Doc!!! Posted by Picasa

Ok, so we were lucky enough to be the very first patient ever that Dr. Hicox performed a 3-D ultrasound on! Aren't we lucky! Test subject Carla was very patient...The following baby mugshots are now on file at the police department...just in case... Posted by Picasa

This looks a little wierd because the baby's face is actually smashed against the uterus....Dont worry, no matter what happens it won't look like daddy.....whewww..... Posted by Picasa

The baby's posing already..... Posted by Picasa
