Now Presenting: Jonah David Martinez!

But first, a little side track on Liam. The night before Jonah was born Edwin and I were watching a movie and Edwin got up to get some water. He noticed Liam's bedroom light was on and went to investigate. Liam has learned how to turn on the light but is still a little too short to turn it off. This is what Edwin found when he opened the door. Liam had turned on the light and then wore out and finally went to sleep, using his monkey to block out the bright light. We thought it was so cute and funny, I had to share it with you!


In bigger news our newest little man, Jonah David Martinez, was born August 3, 2010 at 7:25 in the morning. He weighted 8 lbs. 13 oz., was 21 inches long and has an amazing set of lungs! I had my first contraction at around 5:30 AM and by 6:00 AM was in full blown labor shouting at Edwin that we needed to get to the hospital as quickly as possible. We got there with not much time to spare. Jonah was born about 40 minutes after we arrived. He was face down and the doctor had to turn him over before I could push. She told us that if he would have been face up he probably would have been born a half hour earlier! We could have had this little guy in the car on the way to the hospital if that were the case!

Here are Liam and Jonah meeting for the first time. Liam did NOT like the hospital and he was really not OK with me in the hospital gown and bed. He wanted nothing to do with me! Poor little guy!
Grandma and Grandpa Grant arrived a few hours after Jonah was born. They came for a brief visit to the hospital and then went to pick up Liam and take him home. They stayed with us for about 10 days and were so much help. They cooked, cleaned, ran errands, took great care of Liam and did just about anything else we asked of them. I am so grateful for their time with us. We don't have many pictures, mainly because we were in survival mode the first week. But here is a picture of Grandma holding her new grandson.

Uncle Jeff and Aunt Christine were also able to come up to the hospital for a few hours to meet Jonah.


Here is our precious little guy. I LOVE all of that hair! I think I will be a little devastated if it all falls out like Liam's did. Liam had black hair when he was born, though not nearly as much as Jonah has. Then all his hair fell out and grew back in blonde!


Mommy and Jonah just after eating. You can sort of see in this picture that he has some dimples when he smiles.


Proud Papa!


Our little guy does not like to sleep on his back or be swaddled at all. He much prefers his tummy or his side. So we put him down that way and pray like crazy!



Mommy and her little men. I love that they look so different!



I think Jonah will get used to being knocked around pretty quick!
