Good to hear from you!!

I love hearing details about your summer break! A lot of you are in school for at least part of the day and I enjoy hearing what you're learning or what classes you're taking. Valerie, it sounds like some tough classes and lots of work! Doris, sounds fun to get to swim every day! Melissa, how cool you found out a friend of yours is also related to you. I wonder if she'll be there again this year? Angel, wow!! I am sooooo glad you enjoyed your D.C. trip! That makes me so happy to hear! I would love to know more. I emailed your parents a letter (all parents got the same letter) at the end of the year and they have my email address so please write me more details,k? Otherwise, email me your phone number and I'd love to call and hear about it. William, I'm glad you're having some fun while in school! Sounds like you're already feeling comfortable with the campus and will feel much better about your first day of school with already having been there a lot. Good for you!

I can't comment about everyone, or I'd be here awhile, but I love ALL your updates!
Shmu is doing great! At first the doctor was concerned that Shmu was too small. Tell that to Stephen Chien!! :) I haven't gained any weight in over a month and my belly is measuring too small. So, we had a bunch of tests for Shmu on Friday, and Shmu passed! I was hooked up to a couple of monitors that measured Shmu's heartbeat and we had to get Shmu moving to see if his/her heart rate would accelerate. The test was designed to see if the baby is getting enough oxygen. Well, Shmu was sleeping at first but then Rudy spoke to it, and the heart rate went up instantly!! It was so cool! Then, Ru picked and poked at it and Shmu started squirming. We can't figure out if Shmu likes daddy "playing" with him/her or if Shmu's annoyed by it and tries to get away. Either way, it got Shmu moving and he/she passed the test! :)
Then we got to see a picture of Shmu on an ultrasound. Shmu was big to us! The picture was pretty funny looking though. They measured how much fluid I had in Shmu's home. You remember how dehydrated I always was? Well, there was enough liquid in there! Yeah!! :)

Now we are home, waiting to find out from the doctor what all the tests say to us. We hope Shmu is growing well and doesn't have any complications. I am 37 weeks pregnant and have only 3 more to go!! :)

Ok, I'd better go now! Take care everyone. I'll post updates on Monday if Shmu is ok or not!
Love,
Mrs. Martin

Hi Mrs. Martin! Today I went to AMC 20 to watch a movie with my summer school. But since we were watching G-Force in 3D and imax, we had an hour before going into the theatre. So we decided to go to Tilt, my favorite arcade. It was so fun. I got tickets and then traded them in for prizes. then we went to watch G-Force. It was a great movie!
I'm happy shmu is doing well! Congrats on making it through 37 weeks!
