Leslie Powell, Ottawa, holds her 5-week-old son, Heath Alexander Powell, Sunday afternoon at her home on South Cedar Street in Ottawa. Leslie and her husband, Jason Powell, decided to give birth to both of their sons at Ransom Memorial Hospital in Ottawa. “We loved our doctor, and didn’t want to go out of town,” Leslie Powell said. “Plus, it’s right down the street.”
