Hello From baby Lydia Alice Powell


Yesterday, Heather had a doctor appt. They said that she was dialated to a 3 and the doctor stripped her membrain. He then told her to go to hospital to take a non stress test and to get some other tests done. During the tests at the hospital the nurse was worried about how little the baby was moving. They determined that we were not going to go home.
They started her on antibiotics for the baby and then later started the pit. By the time they started the antibotice she was dialated to a 4. When they started the pit about an hour or so later she was to a 6. They said that even without being enduced that she would have been comming to the hospital in the middle of the night anyway. She proceded from a 6 to a 10 in about 20 min.
Heather had mentioned that she felt like she should push only moments before the nurse came in to check on her. When the nurse saw her she said DON'T PUSH! I NEED TO GET THE DOCTOR! Lydia Alice Powell was born at 11:20 pm on Jan 5, 2010. She weighed 7lb 5 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long.
She has a lot of hair and we are excited to have her as a part of our family. We love her soo much.
