Marcus Spencer White



One week ago we were surprised by the early arival of our little Marcus Spencer White. I usually go late so two days early surprised all of us. I was not nearly ready...no bags packed or baby clothes organized or Nana present. Infact Wednesday was my day to do those things. I awoke Wed. morning to feeling my water break. I think I was in denial for a few hours since I wasn't have any signs of labor. Glenn stayed home from work and we got the girls off to different friends, packed my bags and headed for the hospital. I was induced around 2pm and had our little guy at 9:15 pm. He was 7lbs 9oz and 19.5 inches long. He came out looking just like Daddy all the way down to the ridges on his ears. Both Marcus and mommy are doing well, however it is taking us a while to get back on our feet. But, thanks to super Nana we are surviving well. More updates will come. Also, there were two other friends from the ward who were due around the same time. It was amazing that we all delivered within 15 hours of each other. So we all caught up in the hospital while the rest of the ward (it seemed like) was watching our kids. Most people have seen these pictures as Glenn did such a great job emailing right after our little guy was born...but he had some wrong addresses...and no addresses for some so I thought I would post pictures here too.

FYI - we are very much in love with this little guy. He has infused our lives with joy. There truly is nothing like a brand new baby directly from heaven to remind you of the sweetness of our Father in Heaven and of all our many blessings.

Congrats April! He looks just wonderful. I have wanted to call and check how things are going but wanted to give you some down time. Maybe I should call before Super Nana leaves and you are left to be Super Mom by yourself. Again, well done!

I love the name. Didn't Glenn have a close friend named Marcus? I bet Uncle Spencer is very proud. He is beautiful, you have a lot to look forward to, I wouldn't trade my little boy for anything.

YAY!!! He's is such a doll! I'm sure you're so glad to have him here. Congratulations! You're going to love having a boy...but probably not for a few months because boys and girls are pretty much the same for the first little while. Welcome to the world little Marcus!

He is a cutie...congrats, I'm so excited for you guys. I need to drink whatever you have been, because I'm really hoping that we have a boy next, although that won't be for a while. Bekah looks so cute with him, you can tell she loves her baby brother. Enjoy!!!
