Our good friends, Andy and Jill Paullus, are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl, Olivia Jaida Paullus!!! (Her birth mom named her Olivia; Andy and Jill gave her the middle name, Jaida. They will call her Jaida.)
Thank you, Jesus, THANK YOU for this amazing gift!
Jaida was born this past Monday, September 21st at 3:41p. She was several weeks early, weighing 4 lbs, 6 oz, and measuring 18 inches. She is doing so well, eating well and growing. The doctor gave her a "gold star" today. 
Here is a little more of the story from Jill, "We talked with our birthmom for the first time on Sunday. We knew that she wasn't due till Nov. 4, but that her water had broken and so she'd most likely be induced the next day. So, we just waited to hear more and found out that she chose us on Monday! She then had the baby at 3:41 on Monday afternoon and we flew out on Wednesday to be there."They were able to spend time with Jaida's birthparents as soon as they got there and they all signed the paperwork shortly after.
Again, from Jill, "Jaida's birthparents are great people and we enjoy being with them. Our interactions with them have been a true blessing and we are sure that God gave them to us and us to them."
Jaida is half hispanic and half African American. Is she an absolute doll or what?
And look at all of that hair!!
Oh, the tears of joy I've cried this week! God is faithful. Thank you, Lord, THANK YOU!
