Abigail Elizabeth Powell
Dear All,
In the Lord's great grace and providence, Abigail Elizabeth Powell was born at 11:57 AM, May 5th 2009 weighing in at 9lbs. 14 oz. Mom and baby are doing well. Because of the speed with which Val responded to the oxytocin there was no time for an epidural - it was all natural. Val did very well and I'm so thankful for her and our new daughter.
Please join us in giving thanks to God for His grace in preserving and bringing this beautiful baby girl into the world. Pictures will follow when a better internet connection is possible.
Psalm 113:1,9
"Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!"
In His amazing grace,
Chris, Val, Hannah, Noah and Abigail Elizabeth.

We're here....
Just a quick update as we wait for the next stage. We arrived and all has gone according to schedule. We are now in the birthing ward on the fourth floor. Val's veins are being stubborn as usual and so we are waiting for the special IV nurse (after two other nurses had trouble) to get her IV hooked up. Val's doctor broke her membranes at 8 AM and now we're waiting for the next stage of early labour. She's about 3-4 cm dilated and 50% effaced for those who know what that means.

She's coming.... soon
Just one more day till she's here. We're eagerly anticipating the arrival of baby Abby tomorrow. Today the family is going to spend some time together. We're going to go and buy Hannah an inflatable pool! She's VERY excited. For Noah we're going to spend some time outside which is pretty much what he loves - running around outside. The joys of being two. We hope to visit the Rouge Park with the children and enjoy a nice family lunch together.
Tomorrow we go in at 7 AM to the Hospital for the induction. We appreciate your prayers.
Love,
Chris on behalf of the family.
