Holy crap, we have a baby!

Cecelia Ann Merkel arrived today around 5:30. This has been, without a doubt, the most whirlwind 24 hours of our lives. Holly, our attorney, came to Jessica's office yesterday around 4:30 and said the girl who ripped our hearts out last month has changed her mind and would like to give the baby up for adoption. We decided to say yes, bought out Target at 9 PM last night, and spent today fretting about consent forms being actually, for real, signed by the birth-mother and a court order granting us guardianship signed by the judge. Around 4 today that was all wrapped up and Holly and Kevin were dispatched to pick up the baby.

And, here she is. And she's ours. And she's never going to leave us!
