Here's the newest addition to the Foster family. After a 48 hour labor (yes, 2 days, and with only 650mg tylenol mind you) Linda had to have a C-section (failure to progress). On 1/22/08 at 12:06 am, Ellie Foster was born. She weighed in at 7 pounds 14oz, is 20.75inches long, and looks nothing like her father, which is probably a good thing. Mom was up and walking 6 hours after surgery--she must be crazy or immune to pain.
Mom and baby were just discharged today, after 3 sleepless nights at Hotel New Hanover in Wilmington, NC. Ellie's a little jaundiced right now, but nothing we're are overly concerned with.
I'll stop writing now and just post some pics. And check out the picture of our little snaggle-toed Tarheel!

I love you Ellie, welcome to the family!

Way to go Ellie and Linda! Ryan, I hear you did OK as well.
Ellie, you might just be the best looking baby in all of the south, and certainly the smartest. Good luck with your new parents, and tell Ryan to drive his hot-rod carefully. Call me if you need anything.

Hi,Linda,Ryan and Ellie, Congratulations, we are so happy to hear baby and mom are both doing fine. and baby Ellie looks very healthy and very cute. I think she looks like lot of "baby Linda" Of course Ryan's handsome feature will come out as she grows up. And I am trying to comprehend the fact- I am a grandma- because Linda call me auntie. Anyway, Welcome to PAK family, Baby ELLIE! from auntie Lee
Congrats you guys!!! She is precious:) I've been waiting for Hannah to give me the link to your blog!!
Congrats! Looks like the next generation is getting bigger and bigger. Can't wait to see her.
Sanders and family!
She is beautiful! I am so happy for you both. Ellie is a beautiful name. Samuel was going to be Sarah Elizabeth,if he was a girl, so I love the name. Wow, I thought 17 hours with Mary was hard - 48 hrs ahhhhh! Trust me you will forget all about it looking at your precious blessing. I can hardly wait to hold her! Mary and I both think she looks a lot like Linda right now anyway!

With love,
Tina, Brian, Bailey and Griffin
