Another New Fieg Leaf

You would think that it is spring time, what with all the new babies in the Fieg family!  Here is the roster of the most recent descendants of Carl and Emilie Fieg, who planted the seed of the Fieg tree in America in 1900:

NUMBERS ONE AND TWO, PLAYING FIRST BASE
On July 7 at 2:38 a.m. Chance Michael Cross was born to parents Cory and Jessica Roman Cross.  The story was published in the FFN shortly thereafter, but little did your editor know that there was a contender for this position!

Also on July 7, 2015 Judah Mwebaze Kasibante entered the world at 4:16 a.m. at the Kennestone Hospital in Kennesaw, Ga.

The baby was delivered by C-section, and was just over 6 pounds in weight and 18.5 inches long.

Judah joins brother Maxwell Kasibante as the second child born to Laura and Chief Kasibante.  Laura is the great-granddaughter of Carl and Emilie, and her dad is Douglas Fieg. 

You can see how much big brother adores the baby!  These two gorgeous kids are a wonderful addition to our family tree.



NUMBER THREE, ON SECOND BASE
Jenny Bookhout (whose hubby, Dan, is also a great-grandchild of Carl and Emilie) went into labor on the afternoon of July 10 for a planned home delivery, but had to be transferred to Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine due to a low fetal heart rate.  The baby's heart rate recovered en route and, on July 11, Jenny gave birth at 5:38 a.m. to Arwen Charlotte June.

Arwen was immediately sent to Shands Hospital in Jacksonville for intensive treatment, including cooling her body temperature (a technique that is new to your editor!), to insure that she was ready to hurtle healthily into the world.

Eventually she was off the respirator, radiating her own body heat and beginning to nurse normally.  Once she can take 75 ml from a bottle she will be on her way home.  Nothing but the best thoughts and prayers go to the fledgling family!

Any more out there??
