For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

Baby Alina!


She is such a beautiful baby!  Last night I found out that she is a night owl, but not at all a fussy baby.  To get Alina to eat I usually have to change her and get her really awake  She weighed in at 6 lbs 2 oz last night so she is quite a little bit.

Yesterday it did not look like we would even have a chance to hold baby Alina, but God has miraculously allowed placement papers to be signed today and we are snuggling at the hotel!  We still need to wait the 10 days out and there is a risk, but we are enjoying each day God gives us with little Alina!

Tears of joy and prayers that baby Alina becomes an official Gilchrist by next week. What a glorious thanksgiving blessing that would be!

Oh, Jamie . . . how precious! I am loving going through my day and having you all come to mind over there and thinking of what special days these are right now for you guys. We're praying for all of you and can't wait to hear more stories and meet Miss Alina. (How exactly are you pronouncing it? I like an e? Long i?)
