A Week with Porter

We are now a family of 4!! I am absolutely in love with my little man Porter. He's so tiny and looks better than I could have imagined. Totally smitten. So is Patrick. And Reesa.


Main details: Went in Thursday at 4pm. Delivered at 7:30pm with no drugs and luckily only 2 pushes. Went home Friday night once Porter cleared his 24 hour test. He's nursing well and I'm recovering just fine.

Reesa couldn't wait to meet Porter and she brought him a toy during her first visit. Adorable. She is doing well with Porter. She loves him. She wants to help with everything we do and gets a bit wound up and over excited. She crashes so hard in the evenings from the over stimulation. In time the novelty will wear off.

This is the best shot where he looks just like Patrick but with dark features. So crazy!!

Do you think they look like siblings?


Our first trip to REI as a family of 4. Testing out the double BOB. We strolled the Pearl, stopped in at a cafe, and watched Reesa run around Jamison Square.

Reesa jumping in puddles our first Monday morning all together.

Today we tackled the Zoo. I think we all got worn out with that one. A more casual weekend is now in order. We've taken him to church and celebrated with our small group drinking Black Butte Porter. Not much left on our list of intros for baby Porter.

For being our first full week as a family of four we are adjusting well. Now, Patrick is home for 2 weeks so I know it will not be this smooth when he goes back. Praying for patience and a sense of humor as I get adjusted to being a stay at home mom of 2!!
