After 24 hours of labor, Porter Killian Wright was born at 1:17am on Monday, April 14th.
Weighing a whopping 8 pounds, 10 ounces and being 20 inches long, he is by far my largest baby!
He shares a birthday with his cousin, Charlie Ruth. Yes – my sister and I gave birth on the same day!
We’re totally and completely enamored.

You guys both gave birth on the same day?! That is really cool! I love the pictures of your kids holding their little brother. I have a picture on my wall of me holding one of my brothers (I was 5 when he was born), and it is one of my favorite pictures ever. I’m really happy for you all!

AND of course that it’s a palindrome. also, it’s national pecan day, so there’s that. i need that elephant gown! where?! (obviously the only thing i have bought for my baby so far is clothes…)

Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says:
I’m not sure if it’s pregnancy hormones or not, but I am in tears… this is so beautiful! He is perfect!! And wow, 24 hours of labor with your 3rd- go super mama!
Natalie @ Free Range Human says:
That is insanely cool that you gave birth on the same day! How lucky!
Ok, full disclosure, I am not a kid person and even less of a baby person so I think you can trust my honesty when I tell you that I think Porter is one of the most beautiful babies I’ve seen. Congratulations again! I know you must be over the moon!
Calee says:
You look pretty miserable in the first few photos. I am so glad to hear that your sister gave birth the same day! That’s the coolest thing ever. Those two are going to be best friends for sure. Congrats over and over.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says:
So precious!! Congrats again on your beautiful family, my friend!
I’m guessing when your sister showed up she didn’t realize she’d be having a baby in just a few more hours? ;)
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says:
I am so incredibly happy for y’all. What beautiful pictures!! I still can’t believe your sister had her baby on the same day !
Haley says:
What gorgeous, gorgeous photos! You have such sweet kiddos. Though, my favorite photo is the one of you laboring in bed and your sister on the recliner next to you!!

Shawnna says:
Absolutely precious!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful family experience with us :)
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says:
Congratulations! He is such a cute little baby and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures of Henry and Clara with Porter! I have a few of my older brother and I with our little brother after he was born and they are some of my favorites! I think your children and myself and my siblings are similar – Boy and Girl about 2 years apart, then another boy 4 years later. If Clara ever wants to vent about being the middle child and only girl, she can give me a call. Haha
Brittany @ run, read, repeat says:
Porter is so precious!! I love the pictures of all your children together … Adorable! And how fitting that Charlie and Porter share a birthday!! So neat :)
Aimee says:
He is absolutely adorable and you have a beautiful family! Congrats!

Porter looks so much like Henry! I am so happy for your family!

The dimple picture! – so precious. Love the one of you and Katy laboring side by side.

Congratulations again! That’s so sweet of Porter to wait for his cousin. ;)
Amelia @i_heart_kale says:
Such a blessing, Lindsay. :) Thank you for sharing your journey and such personal family photos with us. Is that your mom in the photos? I think Clara has many of her features.
Congratulations!!!!!
