It's a Boy!

Bring on the cigars.
Lewis Freeman Tompkins (99% sure of his name) is waiting for his Momma and Daddy to PICK HIM UP in Can Tho City, Vietnam. We are ready to go. 4-6 months and he's here. Thank you, thank you for your prayers & encouragement. We will still need them to get through the wait and to keep him as healthy and as loved as he can be.
We have not actually officially "accepted" his referral as ours yet. We are encouraged to meet with a pediatrician in order to review his stats. So far all looks great, and we are filled with great hope for our family. Lewis is 4.5 months old, born July 21.
