Baby Powell, we love you! I found out at my 38week appointment that the baby was in breach position. After much prayer and fasting we went to my 39 week appointment to see what the baby was up to. He has been a wiggly baby the whole pregnancy so I was hopeful that he had turned so I would not have to have another c-section. I was hoping for a vbac. The doctor and my brother-in-law were pretty certain that this baby would not turn because #1 he was big(my doctor was thinking around 9 lbs), and #2 after a certain point in pregnancy the baby settles into their final position and doesn't move. Our prayers were answered and my doctor was stunned, Powell had turned and was head down. We were extremely grateful. So, fast forward to my next appointment at 40 weeks and no baby. So, we scheduled a date for inducement.
Powell Douglas arrived to greet the world on Friday. He weighed a svelte 11 pounds and is 22 inches long. We are so excited to have such a sweet new little baby in our family. His brothers and sister love to sing to him, give him kisses, and feel his tiny feet and hands. We love him and are very, very grateful for his safe arrival.
