More Pictures!

Here are some pictures from the last two weeks of Spencer. I've been meaning to post for a while but it seems like everytime I sit down to do it the baby will wake up from his nap or want to eat or something. Anyway, he is now three weeks old! My dad, little sisters (jenny and sarah), and older sister Jessica and her daughter Sabrina drove out here a few weeks ago to see all of the babies (my mom was already here). It was great to have so many people to hold Spencer for me while I cleaned or ate or showered or went to the bathroom! It is more of a challenge being alone all day with the baby to get everything done. Maybe I just hold him too much or something...but I would much rather hold him than clean the house anyway. =) While my family was out here my brother Paul blessed his two little girls. We were really glad we could go and made it on time so we didn't miss it! I am glad that for now we have 1:00pm church because getting everyone ready by 9:00am is a little difficult for us. Well, enough talk...here are the pictures!


This turned out a lot smaller than I wanted...oh well. Here is Spencer with my dad, Jenny, Sarah, Jessica, and my mom.


Sabrina giving her cousin Spencer kisses.


Molly, Aislee, Sabrina, Olivia, and Paul on the twins blessing day. They looked so cute in their dresses and with their headbands!


Mom and dad with the new grandkids. Spencer wasn't very happy at this point but still a cute picture.


Bryce trying to talk Spencer into burping for him...actually I am really not sure what he was doing but thought it would make a cute pic.


Spencer ready to go out in his car seat.



This is an outfit that his Grandma Stacey gave him and he looked so cute in it.


Bryce thought he looked like a thug in it...that is why he is making a mean looking face. He was trying to look thug like Spencer.


He was also trying to get Spencer to make a peace sign but obviously he wasn't very interested in doing so.

So there are some new pictures of our adorable little baby! We also had a cousin party/birthday party for me this past Saturday (I turned 23 on the 23rd!). I forgot to bring my camera and take pictures though...but it was a lot of fun. Matt's family (my sister Chelsea's husband) has a cabin up in the canyon and so we went there with all our cousins from my mom's side that are out here and ate some food and played games. Even with the dead squirrel on the couch we still had a good time! We will for sure have to do cousin parties more often and I'll be sure to take pictures next time.

One Week Old!

It is hard to believe that our baby was born a week ago! It seems like we've had him around forever. He is such a sweet little boy and although we get a lot less sleep now we absolutely love having him here. So here are a few pictures of our baby Spencer.


Dad and Spencer taking a nap in the hospital. So cute huh? I couldn't really get in a good position to take a better picture of this because I was in the bed and still not moving around very well.




Spencer had quite a few visitors!
1. Uncle Paul and Spencer 2. Aunt Chelsea squishing Spencer's chubby cheeks together 3. Grandma Barbara 4. Grandma Gaisford 5. Grandpa Glen 6. The Packham's (Bryce's sisters family) 7. Dad with baby Spencer 8. The Wright's (Bryce's brothers family) 9. Avery holding her new cousin


I thought this was such a cute video. Kelton was so excited to see his new baby cousin!

Getting ready to leave the hospital. He's crying because he hated the hospital and was ready to be home!

Hanging out on the couch with mom. I later had to change him into another outfit because I am apparently not fast enough yet at changing his diapers...

One week old! We had a little photo shoot this morning and I got one of him sneezing.

Eating his hand...he was getting a little hungry.

Pictures of Spencer

"Hello Everybody!" These were Spencer's first words to all of you.

He set a Guiness Book World Record by speaking on his first day!

Here are some long awaited (one day) pictures of Spencer. (Finally got his name) He's so cute and we are very excited to have him here. He was born officially at 10:54 AM and was 7lbs 7oz and 18 and 1/2 in. long. It is quite an experience to see your very own child enter the world. I recommend it to anyone! Kathleen will be able to go home on Thursday. Enjoy the pictures!

Kathleen just after she got her epidural. Believe it or not, she's really "happy" in this picture. The epidural was a good relief.

Moments after birth. You might be able to tell that he just did a chest pump with his arms! He's pretty excited for the BYU game on Saturday.

Spencer weighs 7lbs and 7ozs and is 18 1/2 in. long. You can see his cone head pretty well here. This is evidence that the aliens on Indiana Jones might just be underdeveloped baby's. His head has rounded out since.

The first bath. He wasn't too excited about this. But one thing is for sure, he's got really good lungs. He's ready to rise and shout!

This is a perfect view of Spencers cleft chin. He got that from Daddy! You can also see that they have tagged and branded him so he goes home with us.

No, Kathleen did not have triplets. This is a Spencer sandwich with Olivia and Aislee Bread. Spencer weighs about the same as his twin cousins at one day as they are at 6 weeks.

Spencer and his great-grandpa. Grandpa Gaisford was excited to meet his 11th great-grandchild and Spencer is excited to meet all his new friends here on earth.

Baby's Here

So our baby is here! Kathleen woke up having contractions at about 3:00AM this morning and the contractions were about 5 minutes apart. She got up and moving and they got closer together (2-3 min.) but were half as long. We weren't sure what it meant but Kathleen was in a lot of pain during the contractions. So we got all ready and left at about 7:15AM. We were admitted in the hospital at about 7:45AM and She was dialated to a 4+. Her contractions were getting really painful and she got the epidural at about 9:00AM. We were getting ready for a day long of contractions. But an hour later they checked Kathleen again and she was dialated to a 10! The doctor came in and broke her water. The nurses started to have her push at that time. She pushed for about 5 contractions (around 15 minutes) and then the baby was about out and the doctor wasn't even there yet. We had to tell her not to push but the contractions started to push his head out. Luckily the Doctor got there and everything went well, but we were glad to have a quick labor. There isn't a name yet, but we'll get it on the next update.
