Introducing Zachary Scott Spengler!

Zachary Scott Spengler was born at 8:55pm on Wednesday, June 7th, 2006. Zachary was born 9 lbs, 8.7 oz, a full 2 lbs + heavier than his older brother, Chase! And he was 20" long, a 1/2" shorter than Chase was.

Karen's water broke around midnight, but she wasn't completely sure. Since we had a dr. appt in the morning, she waited till then to say anything. The dr. sent us directly to the hospital and they started contractions with pitossin (sp?) around 2:30. At 8:30 Karen was allowed to start pushing and by 8:55, Zachary was born. Less than half the time Chase took.


Everyone is doing well! Thanks for your prayers. Chase was able to meet Zach this morning and things went very well... I don't think he totally gets it yet, but didn't seem to mind sharing his momma just yet. Karen and Zach are expected to come home sometime Saturday morning (since she delivered after 8pm, she gets an extra night).
