We have our referral for our little man!!!!

I am proud to announce that we are the proud parents of a little boy! His name is "Y"(cant put his full name yet). But his name will be Miles (Y) Mastrella! (we can't put up any personal information on him until a court date goes through declaring him a mini Mastrella). He is a beautiful baby and we are soooooo ecstatic..... We would have posted this earlier but we wanted to make sure that everything was right. We got all the medical records checked by our good friend Dr. Laurie Kayaleh who has been an awesome resource and a great friend... We owe her big time. Now we are gearing up for our baby.... Our list of things to do is getting long, but we are sooooo excited. We cant wait to post pictures of our little man on our blog. We unfortuately cant post any till we get back. But trust me we will have tons of pictures. We made our announcement to our parents in grand fashion by sending them all flowers and ballons that said "Its a Boy".. Everyone was sooo excited and confused. They had just talked to us the day before and we didnt give even the slightest hint that we had gotten our referral. "Suprise" we have a baby boy..Now that we are glowing everyday we are just sooo eager to go to Ethiopia and absorb this beautiful country and culture. Every day will feel like a week until we get our baby.WooooHooooo
