Porter Mark Hardcastle

Porter Mark Hardcastle joined our family on Friday September 21 at 8:06 am.  He weighed in at a hefty 9 lb 4 oz (now I know why I was so miserable those last few weeks months), and measured 19 1/2 inches long.

He is a cutie!  We have had so much fun comparing all of his features to Owen's and seeing who he looks like.  So far he is pretty mellow... which is great for balancing out a wild 2 year old!

We love him and are so happy he's here!!

 
Hooked up and ready to get the show on the road. 

 They couldn't switch the weight to lb, but if it was it would say: 9 lb, 4 oz.  Big boy!
 
 He was pretty swollen... and had some bruising on his face.  :(  Guess both of us were pretty uncomfortable towards the end!
 
 Look at the rolls!
 

 He was having a little trouble breathing, so they monitored him for about 45 minutes... all was well, so they got to bring him back to me. 
 
 All my boys!

 

 Family of 4... wow!
 
Notice the apple in the previous picture and Cheetos in this one... a certain 2-year-old was more interested in the hospital food than his new little brother!
 

Swollen (Porter & me) and tired (Brad & me), but happy to be heading home (all!)

I can't believe you, such a teeny little person, delivered over 9 pounds worth of baby!!! Props, girl. I can respect that. My girls were 7 pounders and I was such a whiner by the end.

CUTE BABY too! CONGRATS!
