Wyatt Charles Powell

Born December 8th, 11:35 pm
7lb 5 oz, 20 inches long

I started having occasional contractions during a quick trip to the zoo that afternoon with Stephanie, Carson, and Steven Richard. Around 7pm, while I was volunteering at church, they started becoming more regular, so I left early and Erik and I headed to the hospital. When I got there, I was 5-6cm dilated. I got the epidural (amazing!) and Wyatt was born at 11:35. I couldn't believe his full head of dark brown hair. He is such an adorable little guy and I fell in love immediately!

Carson was so excited to meet his baby brother and has done better with him than I ever could have imagined!! He just loves this little guy and is so proud of his baby brother!

Unfortunately, he developed jaundice and had to spend a day getting phototherapy so we were stuck in the hospital for four nights. But finally, he was ready to go home on December 11th. What a blessing he has been!
