It's a girl!


We are overjoyed with our precious little girl. We have decided to name her Abigail and call her Abbey for short. The meaning of the name is "Joy of the Father / Joy of her father". We think that is very special, because we certainly know that she will be the joy of her biological father and also her heavenly Father. They also changed our due date to December 23rd, we are praying she will be here in time for Christmas!
