Welcome Spencer Wayne Foster!



Spencer Wayne Foster joined our family on Tuesday, November 23rd--just in time for Thanksgiving. A few weeks ago I had some signs of decreased liver function due to the hormones of pregnancy which worsened as due date neared. So on Monday it was decided that being induced a little early would be the best choice for the baby. That night I checked into the hospital to prepare for induction the next morning. 4 hours after receiving pitocin (and just a few minutes after the epidural kicked in) baby Spencer was born. He was 8 pounds 10 ounces and 21 inches long. His head was 14 inches around--lots of brains! We were discharged a day early so we could be home for Thanksgiving. Spencer is a beautiful baby boy who looks just like his Dad. He has a broad chest and long feet and toes. We think he'll be another blondy. He is a cuddly little guy who just likes to be held and has a hearty appetite. We love him!
