He's Here!

I feel like I have been pregnant forever! My sister informed me that I was like an elephant. I don't think she meant my appearance so much, although I felt that way. She quickly noted that an elephant is pregnant for two years. I almost made it that long. 2 pregnancies in 2 years. What a ride!

After 10 hours of labor this second time around, feeling everything no thanks to the epidural that didn't work, I am happy to present Porter Rigby Armstrong!


Porter weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He was born on Monday, January 25th (four days after Kadence's first birthday). We were surprised by his blond hair and big lips. Both of which have changed over time. He is so precious and a good baby. We love him so much. Kadence is even affectionate with him as she gives him kisses, hugs and pokes him in the eye!
