I'm so excited that I can't go back to sleep! Ashley's water broke around 4 pm last night. I was so excited that I couldn't wait to hear the news and see his picture so I stayed up till midnight and now I'm too excited to go back to sleep. My new grandson is named Spencer Romney Tanner. He is almost 3 weeks early so it was a surprise! Just 6 days after little Elijah! Spencer is 6 lb 2 oz. These two will be almost like twins!
I have to tell you about his name because I just love his name. "Spencer" is from Spencer W. Kimball. "Romney" is from Ashley's mother's maiden name and also after Marion G. Romney. (Ashley's maternal family line is related to Mitt Romney - a bit distant.) And of course, Tanner is his last name. When President Kimball was the prophet, his counselors were Marion G. Romney and N. Eldon Tanner so all three from that First Presidency are in baby Spencer's name. I thought that was so clever and so cute. Little Spencer is named after one prophet, two apostles, and the Romney maternal family line!
I can hardly wait to see him and hold him. I won't be in California until the day after Thanksgiving so I have a long wait ahead of me! I'm so happy that Spencer and Ashley are both doing well.
One more grandson on the way - March 2010 when Jenna and Casey have their next baby. Then I don't think I'll have another grandchild for about two years! (but I could be wrong......)
