Mrs. Erica and the boy

Well most of you know at this point (I hope that it's not a surprise for anyone) that Erica is 7 months pregnant with the newest addition to our just created mini family. She has been over all the nasty morning sickness that was a frequent visitor, at least 3-4 times a day every day, for the first 4 months of the pregnancy. She is definitely a trooper when it comes to handling the changes, exhaustion, and discomfort that accompanies her daily routine. I have to say that I rarely hear her complain about anything! As far as Devyn goes, she reminds us daily that the baby in her belly is making her tired!! She of course mimics everything that she sees her mother doing, it's rather amusing to experience. Anyways, Erica has gained only about 16 pounds during the entire pregnancy and remains as tiny as ever (if you were to see her from behind you would have no idea that she was with child)!

As for the baby, we are having a boy. We've decided to go with the name of Brancyn Rush (pronounced Branson), it's a combination of my name and my father's name, Rance. Erica came up with Rush, and it has nothing to do with the Band - she doesn't even know who the band Rush even is. Anyways we are excited to have him enter our lives, mind you we are also trying to figure out how financially we are going to make it work. As always though, the Lord will help us find a way so I'm not too concerned as things always seem to find a way to figure themselves out.

Brancyn is a very active boy. He is always on the move and as a first time father it's exciting to be a part of. I just know that this is simply a foreshadow of things to come, so I'm trying to prepare myself to be ready to do my part. All in all these are truely exciting times -
