It's a GIRL!!!

I'm going to be a mom in about 3 hours to the world's sweetest baby girl!

Our case worker called this afternoon and said, "Karen, are you sitting down?  You've been identified by a birth parent again, the baby was born a week ago, and she signed surrenders this morning!!!" 

And then I bawled hysterically for like an hour!

Meanwhile, I talked to our caseworker about 15 times, talked with Jeremy about 20 times, called my mom, and basically spun in circles!

I've talked with the newborn care foster care people more than once and have been told repeatedly that she's the sweetest baby in the world.  She sleeps great, eats great, and is overall a happy baby. 

The coolest part... We prayed a Novena to St. Anne starting a few weeks ago... and ended like Monday, the day she was born (Monday, Feb. 28 is her birthday!) No coincidence for sure. 

We haven't officially decided on a name yet, but have a pretty solid choice.  (Since my hubby's not home yet to confirm, I'll post it later...)

So basically in 3 hours I get to pick up my daughter!  After the last month of emotional rollercoasters, this is the greatest surprise I could ever ask for!
