9 lb. (4100g) 23.5 inches (60cm)
Thoughts and Observations
- I was not remotely surprised to see how muscular his skinny legs are.
- Some babies are apparently born without eyebrows.
- Always after spending so much time looking at my own babies in the hospital I am shocked at how cute other people's infants are when I look at theirs. Our babies just aren't that cute (and are often quite the contrary: proof below). But they are OURS. (and plus they grow out of it).
- Spencer looks so much like all our other babies. I have not yet taken a picture that captures it, but they always look like wise old men. There is something in their eyes (and their bald and wrinkliness).
- The above fact is rather fitting, since Spencer is named after two wise old men (as I knew them): Spencer W. Kimball and my Grandpa (Spencer's great-grandpa) Joe.
- Spencer is sweet as can be.
- I am extremely grateful about so many things over the past few days.
- Greg and I thought bringing this baby home was the perfect gift for us to give each other on our anniversary today (12 years!).
- Baby and I really ARE both doing very well.
- For those with inquiring minds more details about the birth in an upcoming post.

Yeah!!! I am thrilled and thought you probably had him. Can't wait to hear more details and can't believe how big he already is! We hope that you are recording all of the exclamations of 'wow, mom!' coming from his nearest sibling!

Massive congratulations!! I think he's cute!

Nathan just pointed out how huge he is! WOW! Can't wait to hear the details.
Congratulations! I'm glad you are both home and well. Can't wait to hear more.
I KNEW he was big from your email pic! Wish i could be there sis! Congrats and i love his name! Mom and i want to skype you so try to stay on if u can.
Oh, I am so glad things went well! Congratulations to you and your family. I look forward to hearing more about the delivery.
I'm so glad you're doing well after delivering a 9-pound baby with no epidural. I would really like to meet you one day, just because of that fact alone :)
Oh my goodness, congratulations!! My mom gave birth to my little brother the day after Christmas and she took him home in a big, red stocking. :) Enjoy your beautiful, little christmas bundle of joy!
Oh! Congrats, Lisa! I think "wisdom" look very cute on this little guy.
Your kids will go nuts with this Christmas gift! Take care.
Lisa....love this little wise guy! He's absolutely adorable :) Have a speedy recovery and Merry Christmas!
Congratulations! He is adorable, no matter what you think. :) I love his name.
And, none of my kids had eyebrows for their first few months, which is odd as my husband and I have more than enough to go around. :)
Merry Christmas! (And Happy Anniversary!)
Congrats and Happy Anniversary! I'm so happy for you and your family, and that lucky guy that gets to be a part of it:)
So I already said congrats on your facebook page when I saw your mom post his pic, but can you ever say congratulations too many times?! NO! Congrats friends! And stop blogging and get some sleeeeeeep!
Wow, baby girl! He's a big boy! Good luck keeping up with him!
He is gorgeous! CONGRATS!
Congratulations! I think newborns are only cute because they are newborns and tiny... not because they are actually cute. And even my 5 and 7 year old don't have eyebrows (unless you look REALLY closely). Glad you are both doing well.
Yay!! I was talking about you just last night (the Disney what a life thing about your secret life as a circus acrobat was on) and I wondered if you had had the baby. And look, you DID!!!
Congratulations. I think he looks just like most newborns and while maybe not technically the cutest things ever they make up for it in sweetness and baby smell. (I do miss that smell, maybe... NO NO NO!!)
Congratulations!! And he really IS a beautiful baby. Even without eyebrows!
What are you talking about? He's ADORABLE!!! Even without the eyebrows.
I really hope they have epidurals in Poland...a 9 pounder needs one.
I think he's beautiful! Congratulations!
What a beautiful baby! Congratulations to you and the family!!!! God has blessed you richly! Love, Kathy, Bill and Jason in California.
Who says you don't have cute babies? He looks kinda like some of mine. Eyebrows are over-rated anyway.
What a beautiful name and a beautiful baby.
Congratulations to you and the family!!!! God bless....

Oh, BOY! Congratulations. I'm super envious that yours is on the outside now.
This kid is NOT bald! And he IS cute! Sweet is even better. My youngest was born sweet and eight years later, he is still the sweetest person I have ever met. What a wonderful gift. Love you!
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Wonderful news! Prayers and best wishes to the entire family.
Congrats on the new addition to your family. :)
You are hilarious! Of course he's cute!! I mean, mine were cuter, but that probably goes without saying. ;)
Congratulations.
Just popping in to say hi and I miss you!
Of course, I understand completely, and hope things are going well for all of you.
:)
I'm so bummed to have missed this. I thought you were on a blogging break!
Well, here I am now to finally wish you a congrats. He is so lovely and I love the name Spencer!
