Okay sorry guys that this post is so late in coming but things have been crazy here. Noah David Spencer was born on June 24, 2009 at 12:49pm. He was 8 lbs 7 ozs and 20 inches. Funny story though in the delivery room he weighed 8 lbs 5 ozs, but when they got him to the nursery he was 8lbs 7 ozs and they say that is the official weight. LOL Anyway we both came thru well. He is adorable has a wonderful head of hair. Katie absolutely adores him!! Of course, did anyone doubt that. She wants to be a little mother to him. Arabella loves him and is so sweet to him, but is insecure about his arrival and is just upset with everyone else in the world. Although she is begining to get better with this. All of his brothers adore him too. Arabella hates for him to cry. She runs around saying "crying, crying, baby crying" in her cute little girl voice. Daddy has all of a sudden become "HER" daddy. She understands that she must share me with Noah, but daddy is off limits to the baby. Cedric was able to take off from both jobs at the same time for two weeks. It was nice to have him here during this transition, something that we haven't had before. He went back to work yesterday. I was in the hospital from Wed until Sat and then came home. I enjoyed the bonding time alone with Noah in the hospital but was so glad to be home with my husband and other children. Noah had to be in a bilirubin "blanket" (more like a belt) and pluged in all day except for feedings for a week. We just got him off the blanket yesterday. My aunt nicknamed him "glow worm" since the blanket glowed under his clothes. So it has kind of stuck. LOL Well I need to go feed Noah, he is calling. Here are some photos of our first few days with Noah. Will have to add more later.

Okay my friend KimC. over at Life in a Shoe has been doing this so I finally signed up for it also.  You earn "swagbucks" and them redeem them for prizes.  KimC. is going for a serger.  So go ahead and sign up.  

Okay I know I am late, but I have been busy not to mention very pregnant. So today is the last day to enter so head over there right away and read the directions on how to enter and go enter all these wonderful contests. There are lots of wonderful prizes.

Well I got a call this morning from my ob's office stating that the June 22 was unavailable for my delivery. So it has been scheduled officially now for June 24. Now I hope this doesn't change. As hubby only has a week off from the one job. So Noah will now be born on a Wed.

This is the closest thing to a family photo as I could get. Katie decided it was time for church and was in the van ready to go.















Well here are some bows I made to match the girls dresses. First Katie's...
then Arabella's
Now Arabella wouldn't stand still so I had to hold her, but she had to make a face in every photo. Silly girl.
Of course Katie needs no help. She loves to pose for the camera. Only problem is to get her to be still long enough to snap the picture. She always wants to jump or repose herself. Unfortunately the sun was also a problem as it was shining right in her face.

Well it has been a while since I have updated the blog. January saw two birthdays in our family. Nathan who turned nine and Steven who turned 14. Yes 14! It is hard to believe. In February we had a new addition come into the family (no not the baby) but a big blue 15 passenger van. It is so nice to drive in a vehicle that everyone fits in and with plenty of room to move around in. March 12 Cedric and I celebrated our 15 wedding anniversary.
Well I know that I told everybody I was expecting back in Nov. Well we are having a BOY! We were a little surprised that it was a boy are happy and excited. Since I am having a scheduled c-section our dr set the day today. So our little boy will be born on June 22. We are praying that everything will work our for the best and the baby will have no problems in being born before his due date. Most of my babies have run almost 3 weeks late so for him to be born early worries me a little. Although I am trying to place it in God's hands that he will be healthy and well at birth.

Sassyfrazz is having a cyber shower.

We are having some party games.
First a first photo of Daddy with the baby. This is Cedric and Arabella.


Second party game to guess the weight of her second child. My guess 9 lbs.

3. Cushie Pushie
4. My mommy's bracelet gift certificate
5. AhGooBaby

My BBM (Blogging By Mail) partner was Courtney at Cooking Up a Family. She sent a lovely package. She sent me 3 votive candles, a box of Stash decafe Vanilla Chai Tea, some halloween colored sprinkles, a bag of Apple Pancake mix, M&M Christmas Cookies in a Jar and Halloween Smores in a Jar. Those jar look so wonderful! Can wait to cook them up. I love the idea of the Apple Pancakes. I know the tea will be well enjoyed can't wait to try it out. She send a lovely card with a short note. Thank yo so much Courtney it is a very nice package and it will be enjoyed.

There are babies everywhere, no at least pregnant mommies everywhere. Several woman from church, friends, family and even some blog friends. Well it must be very contaigious because I am pregnant too. It appears the baby should be due somewhere around the 4th of July. We are truly excited and thankful to God for this new little blessing.
