Ivy-Elizabeth Storm Smith was born sleeping, but still born, on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 4:14 AM at Three Rivers Hospital.
She was born perfect, a beautiful girl with porcelain white skin, black hair and the most perfect red lips. Weighing in at 7 pounds and 04 ounces. With a length of 20 inches.
She was born to Doren Smith and Hannah Smith of Three Rivers.
Her parents spent a little over 24 hours with her, watching the sunrise, reading to her and holding her close.
While in the womb she loved having poke wars with her parents and moved the most on gamedays. Especially the Bears, during one of the Bears games was the first time Mom and Dad felt her move. She loved the water and every time Mom got into the water she danced around. Her Dad would tease her with his cold hands on Mom’s belly and Ivy-Elizabeth would move away from the coldness. She loved to snack and had Mom having special cravings, like Mug Root Beer, Swiss Rolls, and Meijer’s glazed donuts. Ivy-Elizabeth’s parents were so happy to be pregnant during the holidays, with hopes that next Christmas Ivy-Elizabeth would be there. She was already very particular on what she liked including music.
