Ella Diana Carlin was born February 3rd, 2009 at 11:51 a.m. Lisa was induced late on February 2nd. Around 9 a.m. the doctor broke her water. Within a few minutes she was dilated to 4 cm and was having strong contractions that were coming a minute apart. The nurse noticed t-cells (reduction of babies heart rate) and said that the contractions were coming to hard and fast. The doctor insisted Lisa have an epidural to help reduce pain which could cause the heart rate to stay more stable. When this did not work she was given tributaline (sp could be really wrong!) to slow the contractions down, this also did not work. Dr. Hemmelgarn came in around 11:20 and said that she didn't like how the baby was doing so Lisa was taken to the OR. At 11:51 Ella came to this world with a full head of hair. She weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and was 20 inches long. Lisa recovered well and we are looking forward to spending time with our new little girl!
