Tonight during dinner a young woman came in labor.  Our Sudanese clinic staff had gone home so I offered to assist our Kenyan nurse/midwife Linda with the delivery.  When I got to the clinic, Linda explained that the mother was telling her she was 7 months pregnant and even she looked about that or even less.  She was in labor though and dilated 8cm so we knew it wasn’t going to be a long time before delivery.  At just 18 years old, this was Awien’s first child.  As she progressed we prepared ourselves for another difficult birth, where this premature baby might not survive and we prayed with and for the mother and the baby.  Without an incubator, we had blankets and cloths ready to try and keep the baby warm.  Sabet came and prayed with the Dad as he waited outside.  Awien was struggling to push and we couldn’t understand it as the baby was supposed to be small.  Well little Laht finally popped out and weighted 4 kg (8.8 lbs).  We were both in shock as the mother’s stomach was tiny.  But we praise Jesus that once again the mother’s dates were wrong and this time it was in our favor!!  He was a full term baby boy, healthy and so cute.  Because it was now midnight, we cleaned up mummy and baby and put them to bed in the clinic (though we technically are outpatient only).  I’ll be glad when we have a proper facility to better care for these newborn babies.  I got lots of cuddles as I cleaned him, wrapped him and snuggled with him.  In the morning Hannah and Jed both came to see him and Jed asked “is that our baby?”  I was tempted to say yes!!  The LORD really helped us and this family.  We give HIM all the glory.
