Healthy Baby Boy Born During Blizzard in North Stonington

NORTH STONINGTON, CT - Though Tuesday brought heavy amounts of snow to Connecticut, one North Stonington couple welcomed the arrival of something much more special that day.

Lisa Hardee gave birth to her new son, Harrison Everett Hardee, amid rapidly falling snow Tuesday morning at Backus Hospital, according to media reports.

The situation was made extra stressful for Ms. Hardee as her husband, Jack, is currently deployed in the Navy, according to NBC Connecticut. Luckily, hospital staff was able to rally together and accommodate all of the expectant mother’s needs.

The Hardees’ baby was born at 8:29 a.m. during the height of the blizzard, as reported by News 8. Once roads have cleared and doctors give their approval, Harrison can go home to meet his 4-year old and 6 year-old sisters.
