He's here!!!!

Hey everybody! Much to our surprise our son was born this morning! We found out at 2am last night that the birthmother was in labor (almost 3 weeks sooner than we expected) and Andrew Michael was born this morning at 8:48am. He weighs 7 pounds and is healthy (have not seen any pictures yet). We are frantically getting ready to leave town later today and we have a 12-14 hour drive ahead of us to get to North Dakota. We will probably take our laptop with us, and if we do, we will do our best to post to our blog. What a day!!!! And I thought getting ready for Vietnam in 2 weeks time was challenging! :)

Can Tho Mommies - Congratulations on your upcoming travel. Can't wait to watch your blogs in Vietnam!

Congratulations! I've been checking your blog pretty often because you just never know when those babies are going to show up earlier than expected. Praying for your travel safety and for your adjustments as a family. Also praying for the birthmother as she entrusts Andrew Michael into your hands.
