Arrival of Spencer

Spencer arrived on May 9th at 9:25 am. We are so excited to have him in our family. He weighed 7 lbs and 5 oz. We had a scheduled c/s at 37 weeks. He spent the first day in the NICU for respiratory problems, but was able to come be with us later that night. We feel so very blessed that everything went well with his birth and he is a healthy little boy.

Hadley could not be more excited for the arrival of her little brother. Can you tell by the look on her face?? Cooper tells me he loves his new little brother and will help take care of him, but he said he didn't want to help take care of Grant. I had to really laugh!!

Our sweet little boy... Spencer Alan
