Well this is our crew!!!

Nathan Daniel James Martin

Born: May 7, 2oo7 12:32pm

6 lbs 7oz

Loved by all his sibblings!

We were a little concerned about the arrival of our little one. His heart rate was dropping pretty low so the doctor recommended a C-section. So after a few tears and a spinal we were ready for the arrival of our young man. He is a bit of a lazy eater so Mom started him on supplements in the hospital. As of this week he has been gaining about an ounce a day and is almost back to his birth weight.

Micah had told us he would be "mad at God" if baby wasn't a brother so I was rather relieved that we had a boy. I didn't want to deal with that. We were all pretty sure we were having a boy.

i have had about a week's worth of meals from the church and community. And help with child care while I take 2 trips a week to weigh Nathan. One friend even washed my floor for a hold of baby!!!

I am pretty tired but all are adjusting alright. Nathan took a trip to the grade 1 class "Show and Share" on Friday. The kids would have liked to hold him, but we told them maybe next year in grade 2. When Nathan is a few months older. He can hold his head up a bit but that was a bit much for a 3 week old!

The Martin's Home feels complete.
