Introducing Levi Elijah Binh Senior

It's a boy!!!! Yesterday I was working at school trying to get my classroom in order for the start of a new school year. With VBS next week and school only 2 weeks away from starting, I knew I had to work this week. The phone rang in my room. It was our school secretary. She told me there was a Mary Anne on the phone and asked if I knew a Mary Anne. Well, of course I know two Mary Annes. I couldn't imagine that either one had my number or would call me at school but I told her I would take the call. Well, it was Mary Anne from Dillon asking if I had a minute to talk. I had my daughter turn down the radio and whispered to her why. Mary Anne told me she had a little guy and asked if I wanted to hear more. Of course I did!!!That's when she introduced me to Binh Thanh(Levi Elijah Binh). He was born in Can Tho on June 14th. He was 6 lbs. at birth and is now 9 lbs. and 21 in. long. His mother relinquished him on July 1st.

I couldn't believe my ears!! I didn't think that I was going to get a referral before the September 1st cutoff. I had prepared myself to wait longer. I was completely at peace with it. But we serve an amazing God!!! Not only did He spare my daughter from death and serious injury, He has blessed me with the most adorable little son!!! Needless to say, even though I stayed at school for about another hour, I didn't get anything accomplished. Let's just say, I didn't get much accomplished the rest of the day. Nor did I sleep much last night!

I know you are all wondering why I didn't post yesterday. Well, I didn't officially accept until today because I was waiting to hear back from the pediatrician I had asked to look over his test results. Although she had promised to get back to me before she left yesterday, she didn't. It wasn't until about 2:30 this afternoon, after calling several times, that I got word that everything looked good. Actually, I was too impatient to wait for her and called Mary Anne back before hearing from the doctor. I believed that everything would be alright because I know that this is the little guy that God has chosen to bring into our family. He is the one we have been praying for for sometime.
