It seemed as if the first few months of the pregnancy flew by, but this 20 week visit was torture. It seemed like it had been "a week" away for months. So Anne called the office and spun some bull about me not being able to come with her at her scheduled appointment and got it moved to the 21. I just so happened to have taken the 21 off after a busy weekend at the climbing wall and on the river.
To our absolute surprise "Poppyseed" was actually Conner Douglas White! As soon as the ultra sound began there were two distinct legs with a little something else in the middle. I could easily tell before the nurse had a chance to say "Its a boy!" I thought for sure that it couldn't be that easy to tell but there you have it. Anne's response was typical Anne..."But how can that be? Girls are supose to have girl babies!!"
Thoughout the sonogram, Anne was having a little trouble orienting herself to the image on the screen. It was like she was looking at one of the pictures that looks like random dots and then all of a sudden rainbows and unicorns jump out at you.
After looking at Conner from every angle and using the computer to measure all of his vital organs; we got the news we had waited for ..."Everything looks great. Congratulations!"
Without further ado, introducing the soon to be member of Team Mzungu:
Conner Douglas White
Now obviously Conner will be enjoying the confines of his one bedwomb apartment until March, so he isn't out of the woods yet. With your prayers and best wishes we are hoping he makes an appearance in person on or about St. Patrick's Day!!!
