Welcome, Leah Joy Hoffland!
It's done! Tarah and I went in on Monday afternoon about 4:30 PM and at 10:00PM Leah Joy was born! Tarah did great..the best delivery yet. Leah was 7 pds, 31/2 ounces and 20 inches long. I haven't figured out how to do the whole picture thing on here yet, but if I do, I will post a pic of her. After watching the whole ordeal, it's astounding to me that people actually still think this all happened by time and chance. I was asking my wife, "How do they breathe in there?"
"They don't. They get all their oxygen through the umbilical cord and it goes directly to their blood. There's a valve that keeps it going to the lungs. They don't even use their lungs at all until they are born. Then, when they take that breath, the valve opens never to close again."
So if this was all developed by chance, did all those babies suffocate until that valve thing evolved? Ok, I'll get off of my soap box now. I'm just amazed at God's creation.
We all came home yesterday and had a fairly ok night, my wife was up a bit in the early morning hours feeding the little bugger. The other kids have really taken to her. Thanks for all the prayers!
