Little Georgia made her appearance a bit earlier than expected, but just in time to be the first baby born in 2023 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm.

Georgia was born Monday, Jan. 2 at 9:28 p.m. to parents Jen Morley and Garick Gray. She is a sibling to Harper, who is four-and-a-half and thrilled to be a big sister to wee Georgia.

Mom Jen explained her baby was due on Jan. 10, but then Jen got sick with a cold and ended up with a fever, headache and other symptoms. Because of the baby, she came to the hospital to be checked.

Jen91裸聊视频檚 heart rate was up as was the baby91裸聊视频檚, so the hospital gave her intravenous fluids for about an hour. Although their heart rates dropped, medical staff were considering inducing her the next day to stay on top of the situation.

Jen and the baby will stay in hospital one more night, until Jan. 4, just to make sure everything is okay.
