So Blessed

He looks just like his daddy 🙂

Here are a few more pictures of Connor’s birthday. I am overwhelmed right now and so happy he is here and safe and healthy. God has given us the greatest gift and we are so thankful. Last night was quite challenging, we both didn’t get any sleep…but it’s all worth it! I’m still in recovery for the c section and things are slowly improving, the hardest thing is not being able to take care of my baby without assistance and getting up and down. I know it will get better though. Breastfeeding has been a challenge too, but it’s also getting a lot better as the days go by and Connor is a big ole boy so he’s always hungry! I’ll update again soon as we get settled….thank you all for your prayers and comments! Much love, Becky

It’s a Boy!

Well, here I am sitting in the hospital room writing my second post (I don’t think this time will take me 15 minutes since I definitely have something to write about 🙂 ).

Many of you have waited nine months for this moment — Drum Roll Please — I’m here to announce that Connor James Branch has officially been born. He’s a whopper at 9 pounds 14 ounces and is 20 ½ inches long.

Becky ended up having a c-section (expected) and everything went just fine. Connor is healthy and I’m sure there will be more to follow.

I ask you continue to pray and support Becky since she will be trying to breastfeed. This can often times be very demanding on the mother; however, Connor seems willing to try (and that’s a start given he’s never had to do this before!).


Thank you again for being part of our “family”.

Blessings to you all,
–Terence

40 weeks

40 week picture
My due date is tomorrow…I am soooo ready!!!

Last night my friend Nicole from high school was in Dallas visiting family and she stopped by with her baby Jack. He was SO cute! It was so nice to see a familiar face from home 🙂 Come back anytime you guys!

I’m fixing to go put my feet up so I don’t swell and explode! I’ve been extremely swollen, but I know that comes with the territory. I promise to get back into the blogosphere soon!

Game Plan

Bonnie & Becky babies (we look like gnomes) LOL!

Everyone asks me if I think Connor and Jarrett will look alike because Bonnie and I are twins. I don’t know if they will or not, but we DO have different husbands! LOL! We will see 🙂

FRIDAY: My last official day of work…woohoo!

MONDAY: My official due date

WEDNESDAY: If Connor hasn’t graced us with his presence my now I’ll go in to the hospital & if I have dilated then we’ll try for a natural labor, if not I go in for pre-op

THURSDAY: At the hospital at 10:00 am and a scheduled c section at 12:00 pm. Prayers please!!! I am not really that nervous I just want Connor to get here and be healthy and safe.

So at least we all know by this time next week at the latest Connor will be here! Getting so excited and anxious as the days pass by. I can’t wait!

We love you Auntie & Dr. update

Connor and I got a package from Aunt Bonnie today 🙂

She got him the cutest little Easter outfit (I LOVE those little footie’s!) and a bib that says “I love my Aunt” She also sent me some breast feeding supplies and some cute Easter kitchen towels. That is so sweet sister and it made my day when I came home! I love you and miss you so much! Move HERE….wahhhh!!!!

I also had my weekly Dr. appt today and STILL NO PROGRESS!!!! If I don’t go into labor by next Thursday we have an induction/c-section planned. At least I have a date that I know I can look forward to….apparently I have a horrible uterus and pelvic bones and this baby just won’t drop! The Dr. can’t even feel him…that’s because he’s in my rib cage yo! Until then I am going to work right up until I go into the hospital, trying to save those vacation/sick days for baby Connor the best I can! Everyone says “Your HUGE!” when they see me, and I am just like “I know…I know” What can a girl do???

Hope you all had a good Monday….XOXO Becky

Another Saturday

Terence and I just got home from the movies and a nice dinner with his friend Hyung from work. We saw Shutter Island, it was pretty good…not scary at all like I thought it would be. This morning I went to the chiropractor because I have been having back pains. My lower back does feel a lot better and I am hoping it stays like that. Right now I am just trying to get through day by day…my ribs are just killing me…other than that I am not doing too bad.

I can’t wait to meet you little guy & we love you so much already!
Oh-and I PROMISE never to take pictures like this of you….

Ha..ha..obviously I was potty training or something here…thanks MOM!

Terence will deal with more of that in the boy department I hope 😛

No Progress

Well, apparently I have a stubborn baby on my hands because he’s sitting SO high! He still hasn’t dropped down any and I haven’t dilated at all. I was so disappointed at the Dr’s office I almost started crying…don’t get me wrong…I am beyond excited about Connor and his arrival and the blessing he is to our lives….I am just literally in pain right now. His hands feel like they are on the sides of my belly and my ribs are just killing me with soreness. My ankles are so swollen that I can’t feel my feet. I have absolutely no more room to spread out! The Dr. said if I go past 40 wks we will talk about inducing, but the thought of waiting another week past my due date makes me want to scream! I hope I am not being too whiny about this…I am SO excited for this baby and I can’t wait to see him and give him kisses and hugs and all those beautiful things….it’s just really hard to function right now, not to mention I am still working every day…trying to hang in there!

Thank you for all your prayers and they are so loved and appreciated!
