Porter 2 weeks old

Porter is 2 weeks old now, and at risk of completely jinxing myself, I have to say he is a really easy-going baby. He only cries when he's hungry for the most part, but when he's hungry, he lets me know it! He had his 2 week appointment with the pediatrician yesterday, and he's obviously been eating well, because he gained a pound since we left the hospital 9 days earlier, and now weighs 8lbs 6 1/2oz! Otherwise everything looked good. His umbilical cord was oozing a bit, so she put some silver nitrate on it to cauterize it. She also checked his platelet level because she said sometimes hemangiomas can eat up platelets, which could be causing the oozing from his cord. Porter was not happy at all about getting his heel poked, but luckily the platelet level was good, so no worries there. Next step is to see the pediatric surgeon on Dec 4th for a plan.

Here he is getting his weight checked:



And having a bottle (yeah! He takes a bottle well too!):



Here he is meeting his cousin "Big Nick". They are 22 years apart!:



We got together with some co-workers too, and Porter was very well-behaved.
Here he is with Janna:



And with Julie S:




Here are some cute photos of him today at 2 weeks:
