Shoshana Aleza

March 6, 2002 !


The Birth
Shoshana was due on February 22nd - but that day came and went with no birth. So did the next 13 days !
Natalie went into labor one Tuesday around 11:45 pm, but we didn't know it. Around 1:30 am on Wednesday, Natalie knew something was up, but we still weren't sure it was labor. We finally left for the hospital around 3 am, already in active labor. The whole process lasted about 7 hours, and Natalie was absolutely awesome throughout it all. 
Our adorable daughter was born just before 7 am in Austin on March 6 (22nd Adar on the Jewish calendar).
