I noticed a difference in Leah's prayer/praise with her last child-Judah.

I was wondering if there might be anything to that?

I was almost srtuck with how she kept on thinking that yet another child was going to change Jacob's heart, but each time, it failed to do so.

Yes Monique, I remark on that in Genesis 30 (since it fits the context better). She finally finds joy in the love of the Lord towards her, rather than seeking it exclusively from Jacob (and being disappointed). The naming of Jacob's children reveals much about the heart of Leah and Rachel at the time each child is born.
