Clark Alden Porter is Here!

Coming in at 8 pounds, 12 ounces and 21 inches, Clark was born last night at 10:22 P.M. He was totally healthy. Alli is also doing great and is healing up nicely. We're all so glad that he is here and thank all of you so much for the prayers and support you have and are still giving us. Special thanks to Travis and Beth, who hung in there and waited in the waiting room to support us and help us welcome Clark. (The steaks were awesome!) Even the staff was super awesome! Those ladies (and the dude who gave Alli her epidural) knew what they were doing. Here are some pics of Clark and us at the hospital when he was first born, his first bath, his hearing test (with the cool baby ear phones), and more.








We love Clark. He's super!
(Someone had to make the joke sooner or later so I guess I should be the first.)

Great looking kid. Glad everything went well. Congrats to you both. Can't wait to meet him. I think you need to rename your cat 'Streaky.'
