Today's the Day!!!!!!

Today was the BIG day for the Watson family! We got our referral today and got the first 3 pictures of our new son!!!! I can't post his Ethiopian name, but the nickname for him for now is T**. He is 25 days old today! YIKES!!! This really is a miracle that he is so young, it is really unheard of to get a baby that young! He is soooo cute, very newborn looking, but with HUGE brown eyes and fluffy hair! We are over the moon right now and beyond excited!!! He is healthy and good size, about 7 punds, and all of his medical reports look very good. Thank you to everyone for praying! But don't stop now! The next step is that we will get a court date (I'm thinking our court date will be maybe late March/early April). We all need to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY for this! We are asking God to allow us to pass court the first time, then, he will leagally be ours and we can go get him! We are just so happy to have a face now, and to know that THIS IS THE ONE that we have prayed so long and hard for! God is good to us!!

Is a pund an Ethiopian measurement. I'm having a hard time finding out how much a pund would be in America. But seriously, Noah won't stop talking about how excited he is.

Congrats!! This is awesome news! Can't wait until you bring your little one home and share pics with the world! By the way, i'm Kelli Jo's friend in Oregon and she shared your blog with me since we are just starting our adoption journey. We'll be praying!
