PORTER JEFFREY PHILLIPS


Well for those of you who don't know my water broke Sunday morning (september 21) and we raced to the hospital. Our newest little son was born at noon by C-section. He was 3 weeks early but was a big, big boy. He weighed 7 pound 8 ounces and was 20 inches long. By far my biggest baby. We named him Porter Jeffrey.

He had a little bit of lung problems and so he was in the NICU until we were both discharged Wednesday night.

We are both doing well, glad to be home and trying to transition to our new life!!!

My mom got here sunday to be with the girls and she is staying for another week or so. She is great help!

WELCOME HOME PORTER!!!

Congrats! What a little surprise to come early huh? I love his name and he sure is a big boy for how early he came. Good luck on your recovery and enjoy your mom helping out. And watch out for the squirt action!
