On Saturday, August 4, the day of my Chicago shower, Seth's brother Nate and his wife Dana received news that the baby boy they were adopting was born. In fact, Dana got word in the middle of present opening after many attempts by Nate, Seth, and Jim to get hold of anyone attending the shower to alert Dana. Nate finally got through to Maria, and as soon as Maria relayed the news, Dana was on the phone with Nate and running out of the shower to cheers and clapping!
That evening, Nate and Dana flew to Houston. They met their new son the next morning. Here are some of the first pictures of the new family.
On Monday, the papers were signed. Then, the paperwork processing waiting game began. Everyone prayed for quick, and quick they received. What could have taken up to three weeks only took about five days; the new family of three was on their way back to Chicago the very next Saturday.
Seth and I were knocking on their door on Sunday to meet our new baby nephew.
We are so ecstatic to welcome the first nephew/grandbaby on the Pietrini side to the family. And we love that our babies will be so close in age!
