Christine went into labor Valentine's day at 2:00AM. It snowed on the way driving to the hospital. After fifteen hours of labor (including one hour and five minutes of pushing), our baby was born, Elea Jane Corrigan.At birth, Elea weighed 6 lbs. 11.6 oz. and was 20 1/2 in. long. She was (and still is) perfectly healthy. After less than an hour, she stopped looking so much like an alien. Within a day or two, she became absolutely beautiful.
The process and product is such a miracle that I don't question God's existence; but because of the design of how it works, I am tempted to question God's sanity. (I think I'm joking.)
At this point I don't have any profound
spiritual reflections to make even though I am sure that Elea will have profound spiritual and political implications for us--as far as living Christian spirituality, living in the present moment, living out the fruit of the spirit.Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.
