The first two weeks

I'm not sure I can put into words what the last two weeks of my life have been like. Motherhood is truely amazing and utterly exhausting! I couldn't be happier! Here are some pictures from Naomi's first two weeks of life. I'm warning you though....pictures do not do her cuteness justice.

Coming home from the hospital.

Worked like a charm.

She has arrived!

It's been an amazing weekend for the Porter family! I'm sitting in the hospital for the best reason there is; we just had a daughter born this weekend! She was born late Friday night and she is very healthy and her Mom is doing great as well! We named her Naomi Anne Porter and she is already made our lives more "pleasant." I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it is to be a father, so I won't even try here, but it is definitely the most incredible thing I've ever witnessed. I know Allyson agrees... I'll ask her again after she wakes up. :-) So here are some highlight photos of the weekend. They don't do the experience justice but they do give you an idea of what our little Naomi looks like.

Beautiful Mom, Beautiful Baby!

There's her eyes :-)

Just a good sleeping shot.

Proud Father.



A much deserved Sunday afternoon nap.
