The Porters: Welcome Dillon Benjamin Porter!!!

February 4, 2012 started as a normal Saturday but I felt different. I just didn't feel too well. Little did we know little Dillon would be entering the world early the next morning! We were eating dinner at Las Agaves when the contractions started. Since I was still 7 days away from the due date I decided to ignore them and get some Whiteys! They got harder to ignore and Ben decided to track them on his phone. We went into the hospital around 1 am in disbelief that we were having a baby. We were expecting to be induced like we were for Caleb. I didn't know what it was like to go into labor by myself so I don't really have anything to compare it to but I feel like this labor was not as hard as the first time. Things just happened quicker and easier. I pushed maybe 3 times and Dillon Benjamin was born at 8:30 am on February 5th. He came out a beautiful baby boy! He had brown hair (also different from Caleb) but looked very much like Caleb did as a newborn. What a blessing to give birth with so much family around! My mom was there the whole time, well except when I was pushing...no thanks! And shortly after he was born we were joined by my dad and Ben's parents. Dillon was welcomed with love!
