Nathan has a little sister!!!

I received my referral this afternoon!!!

I shared the news with Nathan and showed him the pictures. He gave me raspberries!!

She is absolutely precious and I will post her pictures soon.

She weighed in at 6 pounds and was born on Jan 9. I can't wait to hold her in my arms!!!

For now, her name is Baby Girl. I want to name her after my uncle who passed away shortly before Nathan came home, and also after a dear family friend who also recently passed. So, I am looking for names that start with a B or an I. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because my mom fears that I will continue calling her Baby Girl until she is 3!!

Congrats!! How exciting for you and Nathan!

For some reason Bethany comes to my mind as a cute "B" name.

Oh, congratulations!!! I too am partial to Isabella, that is what we are naming our daughter! I also love the name Bailey, but with the last name Beasley...that would be too cruel. LOL

Thanks for all the great suggestions - I should have told you in the original e-mail that the names Isabel and Iliana are already taken in our family!!

And, I am actually looking for names with a B, I or M.

Thanks again.

I believe that there is no such thing as an unwanted child, just unfound families.

"They came to realize family need not be defined merely as those with whom they share blood, but as those for whom they would give their blood." - D!ckens

Birth is an act of nature. Adoption is an act of God.

Yay, Rena! So happy for you and big-brother-to-be Nathan.

I like Brady and I also like Bailey and I have a good friend named India, but not sure how appropriate that is for someone born in Guate!
