Pictures of Christopher Allen

Here are a few images we have of our son. I ask that anyone choosing to look please remember that Chris was just barely 1/2 way through a normal full term pregnancy. Christopher is very small and is bruised from the delivery. These pictures may be upsetting for some people to look at, even if you feel that you were prepared to look at them.

The first set of images are of the things that were in the memory box provided to us by the hospital. There will be a large break between the memory box items and the photographs of Kelley, Christopher, and I.

You can also view all the photo's at:
(You can also view every image we have of him there including tummy shots and the ultrasounds)

  2. Tammy,
    I want to let you know that Christopher is absolutely beautiful. He's perfect in every way and this must be why God chose him to be with Him now rather than with us here. Many blessings to you and Kelley as you grieve for your son; blessings to a beautiful baby that is sure to be watching over you and your future children.

  3. Tammy and Kelley-I am so sorry for your loss. I'm a friend from SC and wanted you to know that I was nervous about your warnings for pictures of Christopher. I didn't need to in the least....he is absolutely beautiful.....I pray that the thoughts of meeting him again someday keeps you going. Many hugs and prayers for your continued efforts for a another sibling for Christopher.
