Ch-ch-ch-changes....

Well, I had every intent of writing a book review.  That will not be happening.  Instead I will share a whirlwind of life changes.
About three weeks ago we finished our home study.  Abigail had the stomach flu, twice after that, I had it once, and Jason and I spent last weekend on the couch with food poisoning.  Monday around noon we found out we had been chosen by a birth mom due November 25.  Monday around four we got a phone call that birth mom had given birth on Friday (11/11). 
Tuesday morning we arrived at the hospital to meet our BEAUTIFUL little girl.  Without further ado,

Shilo Jendaya. 4lbs15oz 18-1/2" long.



 She will be having surgery tomorrow morning to repair a coartation of the aorta.  Or....her aorta is too small and they are going to fix that.  It will be a closed heart surgery.  I will *try* to update when I get the chance, but I would love if you would all be praying for our sweet Shilo.



Celebrating changes,
