January 6, 2012

WELCOME dear little PORTER CHARLES GUTTORMSEN. Born on my brother, Budgie's birthday, January 6, 2012 at 7:38 AM, weighing in at 7lbs 9oz. and measuring 19 3/4 inches. He is our newest little angel sent from our loving Heavenly Father to enrich and bless our lives beyond measure!!! As you can see, Porter came with a small challenge of Cleft Lip/Cleft Palate. I'm so impressed with my son and daughter-in-law that have not shed one tear! He's perfectly ours! He will undergo surgery around 3 to 5 months to close the palate and repair his lip. We will see him very soon when we fly back to the US for his blessing on February 5th.
What a way to start the year off! Thanks Joshua and Chiree!

  1. Thanks Judi! I did shed some tears when they first told me but they only lasted for a few mins. Also, his lip will be fixed at 3-5 months, but his palate won't be fixed until he is 12-15 months. Not sure why this is, but that's just how they do it. We have an appointment with Seattle Children's Hospital this coming Monday and I will let you all know what the plan is. He is perfectly fabulous and I can't seem to put him down for one second! Love to all! I will give him kisses enough for everyone, ten folds!! LOL
