Little Spencer David Ernstrom was born tonight!
We came to the hospital around 4:30 this afternoon, and Spencer was delivered via c-section at 6:47 pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and was 19.5″ long.
Being nearly 3 weeks early he is having a bit of trouble keeping his breathing steady so he’ll be in the NICU overnight. We are hopeful that he’ll be able to move up to the regular nursery by morning though. Otherwise everything looks good!
We are excited to have him as part of our family and can’t wait to take him home in a few days! I apologize for the lack of pictures, I’m writing this from my iPod at the hospital and don’t have the means of uploading pictures at this time. We’ll share some soon though!

Visiting hours are from 12-2:00 and 6-8:00… so assuming he’s out of NICU, anytime. Or we’ll be home in a few days.

So. . .I guess it’s a good thing that we switched babysitting nights, right?! Congratulations! We are excited to meet him.

Wahoo! I’m so glad he’s here. He shares the same birthday as my Miranda. What a sweet baby. I’m jealous, nothing in the world beats holding your own newborn. Please give us details when you’re up to it!

It looks like he came in his own time! I hope the C-section went well! Congrads! He looks like a handsome guy. Let me know if I need to assist with Bridget or Christmas!

Well, I was hoping he’d come on December 15th – I’m a little partial because that’s my birthday 😉 Really, though – He’s adorable, Congratulations!! I hope you have an easy recovery and that he gets to come home with you soon!
