Congratulations Christy!
I have been feeling sorry for myself for the past 12 hours with the small referal numbers for this round. I must say when I saw your photos my heart was lifted and I am so happy for you! I no longer feel depressed or sorry for myself! I have been following your blog for several months (I also did the quilt exchange with you!) and think your little one is getting the best mommy!

WOOOOHOOOOIEEE! I'm so EXCITED for you! Oh my, she is so beautiful! Congratulations (please forgive me if some words are garbled, I'm typing through tears of joy for you! GOd is so good! Her weight would be about 18.5 lbs. Pretty tiny. Oh, I can't wait until I get to see her in person in YOUR arms! Praise God for His faithfulness to you and to Abby. She is no longer an orphan, but has her mommy and family. God puts the lonely in famiiies. He is sovereign and He made the decision to put her in her family and used the CCAA as His hands.
Congratulations again. I am in North Carolina right now, but I'll be home on Monday afternoon and I will talk to you when I get home (although I still check my email every day)
Love to you and Abby!
