Shoshanah Marie Geise

Monday started off with Gwen and I going to Bloemfontein for me to have two wisdom teeth surgically removed.  I rested quite a bit on Tuesday, thankfully without much pain.  Then that evening we realized it might not be long before our baby came.  Sure enough about 2am Wednesday morning we left the house to drive back to Bloemfontein for the birth of our little girl.  The hospital kept Gwen and the baby one day, although they normally keep them in for two. After getting out of the hospital we had to go by the Department of Home Affairs to get a birth certificate - no such thing as getting one in the mail. After four hours of waiting we received the certificate.  The boys are really enjoying their little sister.

When Shoshanah was born she weighed 6lbs 9oz.  She was 16 inches long. (All the boys were over twenty inches.) Gwen and Shoshanah are both doing well.

So sweet! I am sure the boys will love having a baby sister. Congratulations to all of you! She looks adorable! I wonder if she will be a little shortie like Alaina! Alaina was 18 in. when she was born. Love to you all! the Bumps
