Hey all!
Wanted to “officially” introduce you to the newest member of our family, Kaden John-Conley Marcum.
Kaden was born in to the world on March 11, 2010 at 5:35pm. He weighed in at 8 pounds and 14.7 ounces and is 21.5 inches long. We couldn’t be more excited to have our beautiful baby boy! We are still undecided as to whom he favors in the looks department, but I think I see more and more of Lance in him everyday. Size wise he seems to take a little more after the male genetics in the Yokum family, sporting some sizable hands and feet. We were told he was the biggest baby born at the hospital on 3/11/10.
Needless to say it has been a long few days. We were admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 so that the doctors could start the process of inducing labor. By Thursday morning, labor had begun and by around 12pm that same day Mommy was full of “happy juice” and fully dilated. It looked like Kaden would be born at any time. Unfortunately God and Kaden had other plans. After an afternoon of labor that I’m sure all of the participants would like to have missed, the doctors provided the option of a c-section. Within 16 minutes of starting the procedure Daddy and Mommy finally got to see their beautiful baby boy. Hearing him cry for the first time and seeing him for the first time was an amazing moment neither of us will ever forget and worth every bit of the day’s prior events. The first notable comments in the operating room were regarding the impressiveness of his size and everything after that was a blur of tears and happiness.
I’ve posted lots of pictures to my shutterfly page, which you should be able to access via the following link and you are not required to be a member to do so. If you have any problems, let me know. It’s something new I’m trying out, so feedback welcome.

It’s really amazing to think that this time last week we were writing to share stories about all the activities we were undertaking with hopes of inspiring our little guy to come out, and this week we are sitting here with an amazing baby boy and our life has completely changed. I am positive this is just the start of some amazing times for us all!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our lives and particularly this most important part. We are blessed to have such an amazing collection of family and friends.
Love,
Lance, Amanda and Kaden
