Sonogram says... It's a BOY !!

Dear Friends, 

We have news!!  While I was in Dallas for my brother's wedding, I met with the doctor that will be delivering our new baby in November. She is great and I really liked her! On Friday June 24th, I had the normal 20 week pregnancy check-up which included a sonogram to check the growth and health of the baby. The sonogram room was packed with my parents, Lane's parents, Abigail, Caleb, and my sister Clara. We had Lane on the phone to Africa but were told to take the phone in the hallway. Bummer, I was really hoping to have Lane on the phone in the room with me.

Anyways, the sonogram went great and the baby looks healthy and is growing just fine. Thank you Lord! Then, came the big moment, we found out that ...IT'S A BOY!!  So, we are excited and now we will have 3 boys and a girl in our family.


After the sonogram, the kids and I packed up and boarded a plane on Saturday June 25th. It was hard to say good-bye to our families in Dallas and our friends in Austin, but it was time to go. The kids did great on the plane ride. We had a few rough moments, but I think they are getting more and more used to overseas travel. Late Sunday night, we arrived in Rwanda with Lane greeting us at the airport. It was a sweet reunion, the kids with their daddy and me with my husband. 

Thanks for walking with us in this journey of life. I really appreciate each of you, your friendship, and your prayers. Since we landed, it has actually been a pretty tough week. The kids have been getting up at random times during the night due to the time difference, making me exhausted. Plus other random things that have come up. I appreciate your prayers for readjusting to life in Rwanda. But, we are thankful for a great trip and glad to be back home with Lane!


Blessings, 

Anna
