W. Dean Eastman’s Birth

Lawrence (MA) General Hospital
8 lbs 13 ozs
Doctor: Leonard B. Ainsworth
Nurses: Miss Blouin, Miss Rizzo
Mother’s Message:
It snowed all day the day the baby was born, but I didn’t even know what day it was until after I delivered.
Father’s Message:
He’s glad that it is all over with, and that we’re all fine!
Our Trip Home:
Weston came for me at 3 o’clock with his mother and dad. Nurse Barbara Blouin dressed our little son. Nurses Dot Smerdon, Anne Wojnar, Miss Rizzo watched the baby getting dressed. Anne Wojnar carried the baby down to teh car and Grampa Eastman took movies of Anne and the baby.
The trip home was quite exciting for me for it was the first time out in 12 days and it was the baby’s very first time.
When we got home we had to start in sterilizing the bottles and getting things ready for ‘his nibs’.
