She could talk na, hehe... of course Lolo and Lola

guessed girl

Dear Abigail, we don't know if our guess is correct... But if it is, then we believe that the LORD's will is for you to be beautiful in His eyes and full of wisdom. There's only one way for one to be wise in this world, and that is to have a "fear of the LORD," which is the beginning of wisdom. Diligently and prayerfully search for wisdom in the Psalms and Proverbs in the Scriptures, and God will honor that and give it to you, and even much more in His name... We want to welcome you to this world, but you'll find out soon enough if the world is... Many people choose to lose when they could win, but only in Jesus Christ... We love you apo... Now a blessing especially to you and your parents, and the entire family: “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’ (Numbers 6:24-26)

Name idea: Abigail, “my father’s joy” (wise & beautiful wife of David)

Hi Mini Cams/Mini David, You are so so precious, little one, you are your mom and dad’s, and their families and friends’ answered prayer. 🤗 At the moment, while I type this, baka nagcicircus ka pa sa tummy ni Camille 😁 But by the time na mababasa mo na to, remember na nag cram si Tita Ja na masubmit to.. haha joke lang. 😂 I pray na you grow up healthy, always happy, and God fearing.. Blessing ka sa life namin especially to your parents because I know you made their marriage/relationship much more complete. ❤️ You will have your own personality, and will surely achieve great things in life, but always make sure to give honor to your parents no matter how great you become 🤗 We love you and I hope na makapunta kami sa Canada and playdate kayo ni Ate Lucia while mga bata pa kayo. 😁 Wag magmadaling lumaki hihihi.
