We got our call around 12:30 today. Mr. A had just brought us lunch, so we were all here together.
It is a girl! Her name means bright and clever. We can tell already she is bright and clever, so it seems appropriate.
There is some disagreement about the pinyin spelling of her name. My agency claims it is one thing, but we know this isn’t a real word in chinese. We also asked a friend from china who confirmed it.
She is an April fools baby, born 4/1/06.
On October 18th she weighed 15.62 lbs and was 25.3 inches long. I think this is about the 25th %tile on the US charts.
This is pretty much all the info we have so far. We should get more by fedex tomorrow.
When we showed her picture to M, we said “You have a little sister! What do you think about that?”
“Oh good, that is what I wanted.” she said. Then she wandered off to eat her lunch.
congratulations!!! she is absolutely adorable. i can’t wait to meet her!
Ridiculously cute! We’re sooo excited for all of you.
Congratulations. She’s beautiful. Also, I’m sure smart and charming, but I can’t honestly say that from a picture alone.

Congratulations! What wonderful news. Now on to the excitement and waiting and anxiousness until you hold her in your arms. Thank you for sharing such a joyous moment.
Once again, many congrats on your long awaited but surprise referral. I love the conversation you had with the agency. Totally the way I would have handled it. In fact I’m pretty sure I cried on the phone at least twice with the agency. Honestly, you’d think they would be used to it…
You’re going to be one busy parent-to-be! Get crackin! Bright and clever means you’ll need to be on your toes.
CONGRATS!
