Happy Birthday Porter

Porter finally arrives, April 8th at 10:35 am after a long, often miserable and heart renching, 41 week pregnancy for Rach. But, as you can see, he looks as health as a horse, despite the bruised face (that's why his face is purplish). He was a good size boy, weighing a whopping 8 lbs 9.6 oz. and 21 in. in length. No wonder Rach was all belly by the end. Even the doctor last night kept saying "Wow" every time she saw Rach. Good job hun! I hope seeing Porter healthy and strong made all the misery worth it. I love you and I'm proud of you! And, I'll always think you're cute, even with a big baby belly.
