Shmu has arrived!!!!!!

Rudy and I proudly introduce....

Kyle Dakota Martin


Born July 22, 2009 at 7:08am
5 lbs 7 oz and 19 3/4 inches long

I'm so sorry it has taken me soo long to let you know. We were in the hospital from Tuesday evening until Friday evening and it's been so busy here at home trying to take care of everything. I keep trying to sit down and blog but something or someone :) always interrupts me! So, I can hear Shmu stirring and soon he will want to eat, but I'll write as much as I can now.

I think I mentioned the doctors were worried that he might be a little small and not getting enough nutrients or oxygen. We went in for a test and Shmu did well, but had one heart deceleration (that means that the heart rate dropped too low). They sent us to Labor and Delivery to monitor Shmu. We stayed there for 7 hours hooked up to machines. It was a long and tiring night. Shmu passed the test, but had another deceleration. They told me to come in the following day to test Shmu again. So, I went to the hospital thinking that I would just be going in for a simple test, but while we were there, Shmu's heart rate dropped multiple times and for longer periods of time. The doctors told me they would induce me. That means that they gave me medicine to start my labor. I got induced at 8pm. At 7:08am, Shmu came. Rudy got to catch him and announce to me that it was a BOY!!

Shmu apparently had been moving soo much in my belly that he had twisted his cord so much that not enough oxygen was getting to his lungs! He came out just fine though and he is healthy!! He spent a day in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), just like my friend Esther's babies. He had low blood sugar levels due to being so tiny! He's half the size he looks in the pictures. Sooo small and cute! :)

We are home now, and all is fine! We are LOVING this little bundle of joy! We can't believe Shmu is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Some more pictures:

Right now, Shmu's eyes are dark blue.

Daddy had to study for a test while we were in the hospital.
He was a little distracted though! :)

I went on a tour called america asia it is close to moutrey park t the morning the cowboys knock on your door to wake up around 4:30-5:thirty Am They woke us up at 4:15 to watch the beutiful sunset trust me its worth it!The meals are huge I couldin't even finish half!On the skywalk you are not NOT ALOWED TO TAKE PICTURES BUT THEY WILL TAKE IT FOR YOU NO CAMERAS CELL PHONES ETC.Yiu caould also go to the airport 15 min. away you could take a helecopter hold six people .then they let you off so you can take a ride on the bout in the colorodo river!you also can go to a place called guano point were you could see 360 around you I went there at sunset to look at the spectacular view! but go down before night or you can't see I think rudy would love west grand canyon (wgc) because he could climb a lot of things!

Your baby is soo cute i'm soo happy it's a boy i like his name, it is a good name. Congragulations! I wonder what Rudy is teaching him now. :):) I just got back from vacation today and I am very tired. My vacation was so fun except for the 35hrs train ride, it was so boring. then we took a 3hr bus ride to Canada, we arrived at our hotel at midnight.The next day we walked around Vancouver, we went to china town. The cruise was fun and it was seven days. After the cruise we took a plane ride home.The plane had T.V.'s and touch screens and you can e mail to anyone or chat to other people on the plane.There is also free drinks on the plane. We arrived home at 2AM.
