Drum Roll please.....................................




Today @ 4:16 p.m. I GOT THE CALL TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Horray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH........................................... and IT'S ANOTHER GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's a little over 4 months old. Her birth mother named her Meretech Admassu. Her name means "She' Chooses." She's 10.8 pounds and is 24 inches long. We've learned that she has a beautiful personality to match, too! She is beyond beautiful and has the most amazing eyes that I have ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have decided to name this beautiful baby Ahnya Leigh Meretech. We chose the name Ahnya because I wanted to pass down my name sake. Leigh because it's her godmother's (my best friend Kirstie's) middle name, and we wanted to keep her birth name Meretech because her birth mother named her that-and it's beautiful! (pronounced Mer e TeSH)

I will post more later after I catch my breath....and stop screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for the prayers and support. Kirstie, Angie and Terese I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so much more than friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
