First Pictures
Well, much has happened since my last post. We went to Nashville for the ATI conference. That was really very refreshing spiritually, while being very draining physically. Anna and I enjoyed being with our family (even if Dad did give me a cold) and also seeing many good friends. And the speakers were excellent this year, and very challenging and encouraging. But I’ll have to talk about that another time if I have a chance.
On Monday we had a rather emotionally difficult day. 
Something happened that caused us to seriously be concerned that we might be losing the baby. So, on the advice of our midwife, we arranged for an ultrasound the next day, Tuesday. The ultrasound went well, and we were relieved to hear that the baby looks great and the heart beat is strong and everything is fine. We didn’t know for sure until we heard the heart beat that the baby was alive. 
Talk about a relief! (Though it was probably the most expensive 15 minutes of my life!) 
Any way, without further adieu, the first pictures of our BABY!!! 
You’ll notice a duplicate picture. That’s because I haven’t gotten to cropping it yet. And check out that little foot! Most especially cool I must say! Of course the young’un has the typical big Hinton head. 
Thanks for all your prayers. God is truly more wonderful than I will ever understand!

That foot looks exactly like mine…only…uh…smaller ha ha ha. :<)
Well for some reason it will not show my name. It just says that it’s by “site” not by “Caleb”. Oh well, It’s me.
Remembering our N’ville conversation, I will be praying for you guys. Isn’t it absolutely amazing to see that we truly are wonderfully and fearfully made! Love to you both, Momma D

Jarod, so good to hear the baby is alive and well – and you and Anna too! I’m hoping to give Anna a call or email soon. Please tell her “hello” for me.
Really enjoyed seeing you two in Nashville! Thanks for sharing about your baby. I’ll be praying for the remainder of the pregnancy. “He who began . . . will be faithful to complete . . . “
So glad that all is well.
Oh my, difficult day indeed. Very grateful and rejoicing with you in the outcome; cool pictures!
So glad all has turned out well. 
I am sure that must have been a very frightening couple of days – I’m so glad he/she and the two of you are doing well and everything is fine. I always loved those sonograms, seeing the baby moving around – watching the heart beating, the legs and arms moving, etc. made it seem all the more real and exciting…even after four kids it never got old! I always wished I could take the machine home with me, I’d be using that thing all the time. It’s also wonderful to have those pictures to look at time and again – a great keepsake. “-)
I was so grateful you were with me that day…and the rest of the week… and next week, too.
…not to mention next month, next year or the next major event or quiet moment…
