It's A......

WE WILL JUST HAVE TO KEEP EVERYONE IN SUSPENSE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER! Last night as I was arrived at work, I noticed that I had a message on my cell phone. It was Julie asking us to give her a call back! And what a fun surprise the call was! We officially received our referral last evening...it was a bit surreal and awkward to be looking at the picture of our little one without having Dave to share that moment with. Actually, I so very wanted to wait to look with Dave, although Julie needed to verify that we had indeed received the attachments she had sent. (And I must say that our little one is just perfect and beautiful! Ok, ok, so maybe as a soon-to-be parent, I am a bit biased, but I will stand guilty as charged!)

Later Dave and I had the opportunity (over the phone, since he was also on an evening duty at work) to share in a moment together before I had to go back to work...(THOUGH YOU CAN BET WE WILL BE CELEBRATING TOMORROW NIGHT TOGETHER!)...both of our families have now received phone calls and emails to share in the news! Tomorrow (err today) we need to call Julie back to go over the "what next" details and when we can actually share photos with all of our blog stalking and CHI family friends. Hee-hee!

Until then, we invite your prayers as we move forward with the next part of our journey! Holy Canolies, I can hardly believe it!
