The post you've all been waiting for...

Hello, Magnify the Lord readers! This is Lisa from Cheerfully Chaotic, hijacking Lauren's blog for a VERY IMPORTANT announcement!

If you're anything like me, you've been clicking away at the Refresh button all day, waiting for more pictures and a name. Well...

You'll have to keep waiting.

But only for the pictures-- those will come tomorrow after Lauren and her husband sign their side of the paperwork. I've got the baby's name. I bet you want to know, huh? This truly is cruel of me to keep you in suspense. Don't worry; I'll go to Confession later.

Here's the scoop:

- The wonderfully amazing Birth Mom signed her paperwork today!

- Lauren and her handsome husband will sign their paperwork tomorrow afternoon.

- Lauren and J are finally alone their sweet girl now, for the first time. In fact, when I got off the phone with her, Lauren was all alone with baby girl and about to feed her. 

- The proud new parents will be taking their beautiful girl home tomorrow afternoon!

- Lauren and J are so thankful for all of your prayers and encouraging words. They are so in love with this little girl!

Well, I guess that's all the news for now!

Oh, you wanted to know something else? Hmm... Let's see...

How about that sweet Baby Girl's NAME?

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to:
Abigail Chiara

*Baby Gift Registry*
Lauren, I am sure I am not alone in my wish to send a gift for you and Abigail...as you have lots of friends here in blog land. I am hoping that you will create a registry for Abigial at either Target.com or Babiesrus.com. Maybe list it under Lauren Magnify so that it does not have your last name and we can all order gifts off of it online to be shipped directly to your house (without us finding out your address). We would love if you had posted a blog with a link to the registry!!

I know that when we brought home our Isabella a few months ago, I was in need of a lot of baby stuff and it was so nice to get gifts.

Never commented before, but I can't resist. I am teary-eyed with joy for you. God bless you.

Congratulations!!!!!

Sunshine said...

Lauren-

What a gift and blessing! I am overjoyed for you and your husband.

Mrs. B said...

Abigail - perfect name :) (It's mine).
Father's Joy and I know she will be!

BTW- "Abi" is a perfect nickname too. ;)

Enjoy the time with your new daughter. Many blessings to the new family.

Love,
Abi

Thankful said...

Congratulations - beautiful name!!!

Lauren, I am the anonymous commentator who does not agree with your stance on marriage equality. However, I do want to congratulate you on this adoption and I wish you much happiness going forward.
