Morning Has Broken

Unexpectedly.


Spencer Dee Truman

Monday morning
6lb 14oz, 17.5 inches.

(So much for "just the girls," eh, Lucy?)
Big sister was beaming all day.
"Oh! He moved!" "Oh! He sticked his tongue out!" "He touched me!!" "Guys, let me see his eyes! If they are blue!" "He's so, so precious!"




Little baby, lots of love.

Congratulations! He is beautiful! We are so excited for you and so glad all is well with mom and baby. Can't wait to meet him. Give him a kiss from all of us. Love you all.

Grandma lu said...

Thank you, thank you!!! We've just been holding our breath waiting for the pictures! Can't wait to see Spencer and his big sister and both of you! He IS precious Lucy, just like you!

heath said...

Yay!!! What a great event. Thanks for letting us know. Please, let me know if you need a break. I'm sure Lucy's a great helper, but if you need us to take her off your hands for an hour or two, we would love to. Or if you need the baby held I could do that too . . . and this offer is good for at least the next year.

Love you guys.

So glad your baby is safely here!

Carrie said...

Wahoo! What a cute addition to a cute family!!!! Hope everyone is doing well!

Phoebe said...

He is absolutely beautiful! Been patiently waiting for his first photos! Lori you look beautiful as does Lucy! and Wes you look like your father! Thought it was Phil for a half second! So thrilled and thankful he is here! Love you all!

suzy said...

SO glad he's here...so sad I can't hold him!!! Look at that hair-Grey wishes :)! Love that our kids have cousins the same age! Lori- you look FABULOUS!

Heather said...

Yeah!!! He is adorable and I love the chubby cheeks!

Sad that he wasn't born on Friday :) but love the name that was chosen (yes I remember that Wes' first name is Spencer, but still love the name:) ).

You look wonderful, I must say I am jealous, I never look that good after giving birth. And Lucy looks so excited to have baby brother here. We shall have to make a trip down to see you, hopefully next weekend perhaps.

Julie said...

Precious is an understatement. What a joy. Tears are running down my face. Thank goodness for the web and for you guys being on the ball to post photos so quickly. Lori, you look amazing and beautiful. I can't believe you just gave birth. Love you all to pieces. Can't believe I have to wait a year to see the little guy who won't be so little any more.

Wendy said...

Lori, you look beautiful! And Spencer is just adorable. So glad that Lucy is loving having her baby brother! YEA!!! Love you Trumans.

And I'm remembering a day long ago. Sitting in the Creamery on Ninth. Discussing baby names. (Why? Who knows? Perhaps we were talking about "our" missionaries?) Both agreeing that the name Spencer is a keeper.
Remembering hearing you say that it was Wes's name--even better. Aaahhhh... the memories :) Love you dear!
