Joshua was born this morning at 0902 after 10 hrs of labor. It had a few challenges, including the anesthesiologist bopping Sarah in the head with an IV pole, but overall went well through birth. I informed Sarah that we had a new baby boy, and she was able to hold him. He has dark hair, and is MUCH bigger than we expected. He looks nothing like Daniel or either of us that we can tell yet. Thank the Lord, he has no crooked features like Daniel did at birth.
We have had a bigger challenge though, and we welcome your prayers. Joshua began having a little trouble breathing soon after birth, and he is in the incubator requiring a little oxygen right now, 3 hrs later. We think it probably is just extra fluid in the lungs, which 37week babies are prone to, and is usually a very temporary condition. However, he is being watched closely, and may require transfer to the NICU soon. We have peace and no anxiety about this (Philippians 4:6-7), and we trust God to be glorified whatever the outcome. Thank you for lifting us up.
