This Memorial Day was extremely "memorable" for our family. Wendell Spencer Wagstaff joined our family at 12:15 am. Naomi woke up Sunday morning at 6:20 am with contractions. The contractions continued for 16 hours, ranging from 2 to 23 minutes apart. Since we were told that we should stay at home until the contractions were consistently 2-5 minutes apart, we stayed at home until 10:00 pm when Naomi's water broke. Luckily, Naomi's mom decided to come down to help out when she heard Naomi was having contractions. She arrived at 8:00 pm with Dad, Katie, and Cruizer (the family dog). We arrived at the hospital at 10:15 pm and Naomi was dilated to a 6. Her contractions after her water broke were extremely intense, and Naomi had an epidural at 10:45 pm. By that time, she had dilated to an 8. The epidural worked great, and she could hardly feel the contractions. At 11:20, she had completely dilated and began pushing. Spencer was born at 12:15 am at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo UT, weighing 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 20 in.
Naomi's mom, dad, and sister Katie were at the hospital. Kallista also showed up at the hospital to help deliver the baby even though she had to work at 6 am the next day. We were thrilled to have her there too. Devin's parents drove all night long from Sacramento to see Spencer. Thanks Mom & Dad. We had several other friends and family drop in to see us while we were at the hospital. It was great to share our new baby with them.
Wendell is a family name that goes back five successive generations in Devin's family (Devin, his dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa).
We will post more pictures soon, but we wanted to get something up as soon as possible for everyone to see.
We love you all and are so excited for each of you to meet baby Spencer.
