Things have been crazy, but lots of fun! The official name at this point is Alina Danielle. The birth mother's middle name was Daniella, and we both were teary when we realized that we had almost exactly the same middle name and wanted to give it to the baby. Alina (pronounced with the short u sound for the a), is a night owl and has kept mommy in a state of extreme sleepy brain each day. Alina had a check up yesterday and looks very good. We changed hotels yesterday and have now decided to move back to our other one tomorrow. Hotels are filling up quickly with the holiday weekend next week. We are thankful to have a place to sleep. All of us are loving this precious little one so much! She is a delight! Alina loves sounds. She enjoys it when we talk or sing to her and will often quit fussing to stare and listen. We may have yet another extrovert in the family. We are sending daily pictures and updates to the birth mother and are praying that God is giving her comfort and peace. Last we heard, she is telling the case worker she is staying with the adoption. We continue to pray and are thankful for every minute with this incredible baby girl!
