New Foster Baby!

We got a call from the state last week telling us that Marcus's birthmom had a baby girl and they asked if we were interested in being screened, which of course we said YES! They screened us along with 2 other families this week and we were chosen! She was teeny tiny weighing in at 4 lbs, 10 oz on Christmas Day! Her name right now is Jasenya. It looks like we will probably be able to adopt her so we'll be changing the name, but we're not sure to what yet. So if you know any cute girls names, let us know! She is still at the hospital but it looks like we will be bringing her home this weekend sometime. I do get to go see her at the hospital in the meantime so here are a couple pictures. Keep in mind the nurse did a terrible job of taking a picture of me AND the baby so sorry they are not the best pictures!
I got looking through pictures of Marcus as a newborn and noticed that they do have a lot of similiarites, we think Marcus is pretty cute so I'm sure she will be pretty cute too! Here is Marcus at 3 wks old:
And here is the baby:

SOOO CUTE!!! Holy Hair. She's got more than Halle- but who doesn't. You're going to be one busy lady the next four years- (then you have school!) How exciting!
