It's a Girl !

Today we picked up another baby and it’s an 8 month old little girl named Siphiwe (Sip-E-way).  As you can imagine my nannies are very happy that we have another girl as she is going in the room that Leya was in.  I have to admit that it was fun to pick out girl clothes for her to wear from all our donated clothes.  We are now at 7 babies with room for a few more.

Her mother died a few months ago and her father is from Zimbabwe and currently living there.  Her grandmother had been caring for her but is sick herself due to being HIV positive.  She is still adjusting to the nursery and not too happy about it.  Her cry isn’t the soft cry of the young babies we get but the scream of a frightened baby.
