While the late-season blizzard has been a pain for most of us, it will be remembered with great joy by the Hardee family of North Stonington.
The Hardees welcomed the birth of their third child, Harrison Everett Hardee, born at Backus Tuesday at 8:29 a.m. during the height of the storm.
The hours leading up to the birth were a bit stressful for mom Lisa Hardee, though. Her husband Joseph, who is in the Navy, is out to sea. Lisa had a planned C-section scheduled during the storm.
“I was stressed out a bit watching all of the hype on the news,” she said.
Her father, who lives nearby, drove Lisa to Backus on Monday evening, and Harrison arrived right on schedule.
“The staff was wonderful,” says Hardee. “Everyone was so accommodating.”
