Weston Richard Brannock

Sue's post inspired me to announce our baby's birth, too! Except - I'm really late at posting this.

Weston Richard Brannock was born on May 14, 2009 at 6:40pm. He was 6 lbs 12 oz, 19 inches long. I actually had to have a c-section, because my blood pressure spiked up at my last doctor's appointment. My pressure and labs had been fine all throughout the pregnancy, but then at 37 weeks 6 days, my BP jumped up to ... 170/120! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?! I am just so grateful to Heavenly Father that both me and Weston are healthy. I don't know how long my pressure was elevated, but after observation in the hospital for a few hours, it just wasn't coming down below 140/90, so we went ahead with the c-section (Weston was also breech).

We just celebrated Weston's 2-month b-day, and just blessed him at church. He is a WONDERFUL baby! We just love him so much!

I head back to work on Monday night. I'm going back night-shift-part-time at the CVICU at Methodist Hospital.

I'm going to try to keep our blog updated with pics of our cute little guy, so since it's a private blog, email me at amanda dot brannock at gmail dot com if you want an invite.

Hope everyone's doing GREAT! Love you all!!!

Benson Reed McKnight

I'm a little late in posting this but here it is anyway. Benson Reed McKnight was born on June 18th at 7:47pm. He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 19.5 inches long. I was induced at 37 weeks and 3 days because his heart rate didn't have a lot of variability, lacked many accels, and had numerous variables on repeated NST's. My labor and delivery went well and our little boy was born healthy. They think the NST results were due to the positioning of his cord. Benson and I are both doing well now.

You can read more about my delivery and Benson on my own blog. We are planning on going private soon so send me your email address to suzydahle at gmail dot com or leave it in a comment on my blog if you'd like an invite.

Specific Date for Reunion

There were many requests that we name a specific date so people can request off, but I don't know how far ahead you do schedule requests. How does Friday May 8th work? I am just kind of throwing that out there for no specific reason (besides the fact I know I am not working that day), so let me know if it works or not.

Reunion?

I am thinking (along with several others I have spoken with) that a reunion is in order. How does sometime beginning to mid May, potluck BBQ somewhere up Provo Canyon sound? Babies, spouses, and significant others are of course a must. Let me know what you all think!

Moving to Detroit

Hey Everyone- some of you know that my husband was applying to doctoral programs for this next fall and he decided to go to Wayne State University in Detroit. I have never been there, but it should be interesting. Everyone has told me there is a great nursing shortage there- so bring on inner city ICU!

Walking in April?

Hey everyone! I hope you all have adjusted to civilian life well. I just had a quick question... I'm wondering how many of you are planning on walking in April? I think I know of a few who did not walk in August, but I am wondering who is going to physically be at the ceremony in a month and a half, as I really do not want to be the only one there from our semester. If you don't mind, leave a comment if you will be there in April. Thanks!
