Lauryn Brooke Stone

Our new grand daughter arrived April 22nd 2011 on Good Friday. Hayley and Eric went to the hospital that morning and things got started with the doctor about 10:30 a.m.. Twelve hours later Lauryn Brooke was born. Thirty seconds later, Jean, Emily, and I entered the maternity waiting room and were greeted by Cory Duckworth, Hayley's dad, who told us the baby was just born! She and Hayley snuggled "skin to skin" for about 45 minutes then we got our first peek at her. Her eyes were wide open and she was adorable with deep blue eyes and curly, light brown hair. Her cute little nose and mouth resembled her mother and her ears and eyes resembled her father. As I write this, Lauryn is getting the blue light treatment for a little jaundice. She is scheduled to leave with her parents some time this evening. What an amazing Easter gift to the Stone and Duckworth families!
