It's a BOY!!!

Monday October 4th was a VERY exciting day for the husband and I!  Clay took the entire day off and took the dogs to the vet and then treated them to a trip to the beach.  Lets just say... they were in heaven!  The rest of the day revolved around baby!  The ultrasound tech was wonderful and very patient with baby Austin.  He did not want to show his face at all!  He held atleast one of his fists up by his face the entire time!  Finally he revealed that sweet face just in time for her to snap a picture!  PRECIOUS!

haha this one looks like he is holding a rattle 

this one you can see his fingers balled up in a fist!  It's the 4 dots in a row :)

The second obstacle the patient tech had to deal with was the fact that Austin would NOT uncross his ankles... with made it pretty difficult to see if he was a boy or not!  After lots of patience she finally was able to get a picture with the proof we were waiting for!  A BOY!  Austin Paul Hicks!!!

those sweet feet crossed!

Our third obstacle was as much as he was moving around we could not get him to give her a good picture of his spine!  So the Dr. asked if we would mind coming back in two weeks to see if we could get a good picture of the spine!  Seriously???  Did she even have to ask us?  I think not... i was so excited just knowing that on the 18th i get to see his precious face again!  Hopefully Clay will be able to go too!  We are so excited to start registering and getting ready for Austin to arrive!  I cant believe we are half way to holding him in our arms! We are truly blessed!
