Nathanial Gary Porter

Kim is still in the hospital getting sewed up as I speak so I won't write too much. The pertinent data is that at approximately 4:00 today Kimberly gave birth to a 5 lb 3 oz baby boy that we will name Nathanial Gary Porter. She needed a little help in the form of forceps, provided by knowledgeable staff here at the U of A. We're lucky to be here since forceps delivery is becoming a lost art, because of the medical-legal environment in obstetrics, and Nathan was too small to use a vacuum pump on. Here are some pictures, hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
