Her name is pronounced Lid-duh (like Lydia but with an extra "d" instead of an "i"). Lydda is a town that we read about in Acts Chapter 9. Peter visited Lydda on his travels and all who lived there "turned to the LORD." It is our prayer that like the people in this town our daughter will turn to the Lord to love and serve Him. We're planning on calling her by both names, "Lydda Grace."
Below are some pictures of the past 15 hours... it is crazy to think that she isn't even one day old!
