On Tuesday at 2:55 p.m., Pearl River County welcomed its newest citizen to the community, Easton Case Brown.
Stacey Brown of Carriere gave birth to her son at Highland Community Hospital on Jan. 2, making Easton the first baby to be delivered in Picayune in 2018.
As the first baby born in the New Year, Stacey and her husband, Erick Brown, were presented with a large basket of presents on behalf of the staff at Highland Community Hospital.
Misty Toruno, Highland Community Hospital executive assistant, shops for the items that are placed in the basket each year and said the basket has everything a newborn will need.
Both parents were thrilled to bring their first child as a couple into this world and said that they couldn’t have asked for a better way to step into the New Year.
“It feels like a blessing to give birth to a healthy child and we are beyond happy,” Erick said.
Dr. James Blount was the attending physician and Paige Jordan and Jordan Pharr, RNs in Highland Community Hospital’s Obstetrics, were the attending nurses at the time of Easton Case Brown’s birth.
