We have a baby boy!
On Friday October 24th we received our referral for Samuel Meseret.
The meaning of the name Samuel is "asked or prayed for" "requested of God". We will probably keep this as his middle name, but we think it is just perfect. I feel like I have been praying for this to happen for so long and I can't believe that he is finally here. He is so tiny and very very adorable : )
His birth date is August 26th and he weighed 7 lbs. 2oz at his 15 day appointment with the doctor.
I still can't believe that he is our son. When we looked at the photos for the first time on Friday afternoon we were in total shock... as you can see from my face below!
Already though I feel more and more in love with this little guy. We got the photos developed today and they are already up in our house and it is finally starting to feel real. Sorry but I can't post them here until we pass court which is in 2-3 months!!! Please pray that we have a successful and fast court date!
More details of the entire referral story to come later.... I'm still spinning so I think I will wait.
(Grandma & Grandpa K seeing our sweet boy for the first time)
thanks for all the love and support! And congrats to Alicia who won the guessing game!!! Of course, waiting till Thursday to guess kinda helped ; )
love,
em & mike
ps: congrats to Nicky on her referral of twin girls!!! I so hope we can travel together!

Congratulations Emily! He sounds perfect and sweet! I hope that you have a speedy court decision!
Courtney
Congrats again! Such fantastic news. All the best for a speedy travel! :)
WAHOOOO!
HE IS SO CUTE!
And if you need a babysitter- call me!
Congratulations!!! That is so exciting and he has such a perfect name! A little guy too -- that's so nice! Traveling with Nicky and Jrock would be fun -- hope the court etc. goes smoothly, and you are all off to pick up your little ones soon.
Congratulations again!! I'm completely overjoyed for you! Keep up the blogging, Em. I want the joy of seeing you fall more and more in love with him with each day :)
Don't forget, in the Bible, Hannah was Samuel's mom. I think that means our Hana is already watching out for him!
(And I'm positive they're roomies - all signs point to it!!)
Here's to a swift and smooth process from here on!
oh emily the look on yours and mikes faces are absolutely priceless... i'm about near tears. you look so serene, and ready and you guys are going to be absolutely amazing parents. this journey is just starting!!
Congratulations to you both- that is great news!
Carolyn and Adam
CONGRATULATIONS!!! He sounds so sweet! VERY happy for you!
Congratulations! What a precious moment that must have been when you got the phone call and then saw the photos for the first time. I'm so happy for you guys!!
Love, Bonnie
thanks for letting me share in your special moment. I love you snookie! Happy Birthday :)
hee hee actually Thursday was the first time I had checked your blog last week, but yes kind of cheeky all the same.
We have the same computer, that we first saw Sofias pictures on. Love the shot of the Grandparents looking at the pictures! So special to be able to share the news with your family in person.
I'm so excited for you both. This is wonderful news. I hope everything happens quickly from now until you meet him in person
Congratuations! I am so thrilled for you. Words of advice from an adoptive mom - take it all in and try to remember all the feelings/emotions, you will want to reflect back on them in years to come.
Laura
what a cool idea to photograph yourself seeing the photos for the first time!
Congratualtions again!
So happy for you Emily and Mike. I'm already praying for speedy court dates. It won't be too long. I think you have already done some of your waiting time. Samual such a wnderful name. Jenny's Mom
Hi Emily,
I've congratulated you already on the yahoo group but seeing I've been stalking your blog ALL weekend waiting for an update...I think I should leave a comment don't you? lol!
Again, CONGRATULATIONS on your little boy! He is so young and so tiny! I pray for a quick and efficient court proceeding and can't wait to celebrate with you when he is legally yours.
Look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Congratulations!
Tammy
Oh, so excited for you still! What a wonderful birthday gift! Now here's hoping for a quick court date!
Thanks, Emily!
lol - Your "grandparents" seem pretty darn excited!
And you guys look almost as flabbergsted as we were :-)
We're so very happy for you! I remember the first time we exchanged emails - it seems so long ago! And here we are... :-) Maybe we'll travel together!
Nicky
I want to see your holding Samuel in the post(soon)!!!congratulations!!
I want to see your holding Samuel in the post(soon)!!!congratulations!!
da:)
So very excited! BTW... I like how that song now plays when you open your blog! You should put a warning up though saying something like, "Caution, song may cause teary eyes!" (... especially during the part, "...sweet dreams little man").
Great song choice!
Emily and Mike!!! Congratulations on your baby boy! We are so excited for what this means for your family. You should have seen how excited Dennis was to show me your post about your son while I slept in! I think it was the first time in my life I have wanted to wake up from sleeping in and for a mom of a new baby, that is CRAZY (you'll understand that phenomena soon!) We are praying for you for a quick court date.
ps. samuel is a fantastic name
pps. it's elijah's middle name!!
love the levesque family
This is such wonderful news - congratulations on your baby boy!
Have you come down off the ceiling yet? Laura
Congrats on your sweet baby boy!!! And wow so tiny! Enjoy the referral high...it's such an incredible feeling!
Ricki
Congratulations Emily and Mike. We are so excited for you and can't wait to see him in your arms.
