Lia Kate Stone

Lia Kate Stone was born yesterday morning at 11:02 am. She weighed 7lbs 1 oz and was 19 inches long. Her delivery could not have gone more smoothly. She is more beautiful than we could ever have imagined. Corey and I got to hold her and love on her for several minutes after she was born. She was pink and screaming...we've never heard a sweeter sound.
She was greeted by several of my good friends at work who took great care of her during her delivery and then afterwards in the NICU. I was able to sit in the NICU and hold her until the Children's Transport Team came to get her. They were awesome...so sweet to our baby. Corey got to ride over to Children's with the team. I stayed the night at Baylor and got some good rest before going to Children's this morning.
We had an uneventful day today in the CVICU. Lia looked good all day just resting and looking cute. We plan to visit with and enjoy our new baby girl for the next few days until they do her first surgery. She continues to be stable on her medication and we got to feed her a bottle this evening. Corey and I came home tonight to see the boys and get some rest while my mom stayed with Lia.
If things stay the same, we're planning on the surgery being Saturday or Monday. It's obviously up to the surgeon and Lia as far as when it will be for sure. As long as she continues to look good, we're fine with either day. To look at her, it's hard to imagine anything at all is wrong with her little heart.
Thank You all for the messages in the guestbook, calls, emails, and visits. We continue to ask for prayers for our baby girl. So far, things have gone great. We feel so blessed by all the positive things that have happened up to this point. We love you all....
Corey, Lisa, Colby, Jace, and Lia
