Baby Larson

Well, I just talked with April Steed and Zion-Grace was born at 3:52 this morning. Liz was induced yesterday but because Zion-Grace's head was not pushing against the cervix to soften it up it took a very long time. Zion-Grace was very small (April didn't know how much she weighed) but she lived for 50 minutes!! Parents, siblings and the grandparents all got to hold her while she was alive and then the rest of Liz and Aaron's siblings that were there got to hold her after she passed away. April said she was beautiful, typical absence of the skull but that with the hat on that she looked normal. Elizabeth is doing well, resting right now, the doctor had to literally reach up and pull the baby down so I am sure that she is sore and tired.
What a blessing and answer to prayers that she was born alive and that she lived for so long. They are all resting now because of the late night but when I talk to Liz later this week I will let everyone know any other details. Just thought everyone would want to know.

I'm glad their prayers were answered and that they were able to be with her for a little bit. It's humbling to see others trials and to realize mine are petty in comparison.
