Joel William Spencer is here!!!




Hi everyone,

Heather is still in the hospital but I just wanted to let everyone know that our fourth son decided to make an appearance this morning.

He was 7 pounds and 19 1/2 inches. He was born at 0322 on 01AUG07 at Dewitt hospital on Ft Belvoir. Mom and Joel are doing well but Heather had a wet tap on her epidural so she is at risk for a very painful spinal headache. She asks that everyone prays that she won't have a headache (she had one for 10 days with Ethan).

I'm sure that she will write a better post when she is released from the hospital.

Yeah! Look at those pictures up already! Good job Greg! I checked just in case but thought we would have to wait for Heather to get home...

Congrats to the whole family- he is just beautiful! We can't wait to meet him.

Congratulations, Heather, Greg and boys! Joel's a little doll! I know his big brothers are anxiously waiting for him (and Mom)to return home. We look forward to meeting our newest little great-nephew. Hope you are able to avoid that headace--and remember to stay supine and drink plenty of fluids. (Your Nurse/Aunt had to get in just a few words of wisdom).

I agree with Aunt Mimi! Stay on your back and drink lots of fluids. Can they give you the blood patch anyway? And Joel is so HANDSOME. I love all the pictures of him. You guys always have such beautiful babies...
