While in England Shaun got really sick and was in the hospital for a few days. We were only able to visit him two times a day for one hour and Lewis wasn't aloud on the ward so Shaun had to walk down to the food court so he could see Lewis.

Christmas Celebrations

2009-01-22T13:12:00.000-08:00

We were in Indiana for Christmas this year and it was so much fun. Shaun's parents and sister came to Indiana as well. We all stayed at my parent’s house. It was a full house but we managed much better then I expected. We had the Lykins' Christmas party on the Saturday before Christmas and I must say Nana and Papaw put Santa to shame. The little kids got tons of stuff and so did the big kids. Thanks everybody! Lewis was a little bit of a party pooper, he fell asleep. Christmas day was spent with Shaun's family while Nana and Papaw went around visiting all the other kids. We had a great time. I'm not sure how much fun Louise had, she was sick, but we had some great laughs - right Nana Lesley. Nana Lesley and I made breakfast and lunch together; it was a lot of fun. Lewis once again got a ton of gifts and he loved every one of them; ok so he didn't really know what was going on but one day he will enjoy them. Here are some of the pictures from Christmas day...Enjoy & Thanks Everyone for a GREAT Holiday!!!

Wendy's Birthday!!!

2008-12-11T19:00:00.001-08:00

I went to the doctor on Friday November 21st and found out my incision was infected. They put me on an antibiotic and sent me home. That Sunday (My Birthday) my incision was not looking all that great so we went into the ER. The doctor decided I needed a stronger antibiotic and put an IV into my hand and sent me home with a ball of medication and instructions to go see my doctor on Monday morning; Happy Birthday Me! On Monday my doctor decided to change medications but still use the IV; so for the next 10 days I had to go to the hospital everyday and get a new ball. Then I had to go over to the doctor's office where the doctor would check my incision and make sure the medication was working, fun times! It was a long 10 days but I was very blessed that Shaun did not have school the week of Thanksgiving; so he was able to drive me around. Also, my best friend came out to visit that week and she was more than willing to stay home and watch Lewis. We also had a lot of prayers on our behalf and many phone calls checking up on us...Thanks!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Lewis was given the okay to come home on November 19th! But first he had to have a bath, as you can see he didn't like it all that much.

Once he was dressed and ready to go he had to take a picture with his favorite nurse, Ashley.

Lewis Kelvin Martin: November 10, 2008

2008-12-08T12:17:00.000-08:00

Story of the Arrival

My water broke Monday at 3:50am. After waking up Shaun and my mom we were off to the hospital. Once at the hospital the nurse checked and I was at a 4, nothing too exciting I was at a 4 when I went to the doctor on Thursday, they put me in a room and the process began. To make a long story short...8 hours later the doctor came in and I was only at a 5. He said he was giving me until 5:00pm and if things didn't start moving I would have to have a c-section. Well at 4:00 the nurse came in and I was only at a 6, yeah go me. 20 minutes later I was trying to move and all of a sudden three nurses came rushing in, the baby's heart rate had dropped. The doctor came in and said it was time to get hime out. So off I went to have a c-section. At 4:56pm Lewis Kelvin Martin arrived! His weight was 8 lbs. 1oz. and he was 21 in. long.

All in all it wasn't so bad until the meds began to wear off before they were done. I could feel everything on the right side; let me just say it was not cool. At some point they put me out and tried to finish before I woke up...no such luck. An hour later I was in my room and FINALLY able to be with Lewis and Shaun. Lewis was having trouble regulating his blood sugar and during the night was taken to the special care nursery. I came home on Thursday ut Lewis had to stay behind. It was VERY hard to come home without him and even harder to see him with all those wires.

HAVING A BABY

2008-10-18T20:19:00.000-07:00

We found out on March 21 (Shaun's Birthday) that we were going to have a baby. It was exciting and shocking at the same time. I woke up early that morning to take a pregnancy test. When it showed up positive I was a little shocked. I went to wake up Shaun and he just looked at the test and said "It's never done that before." We double checked the result at the health center and sure enough it was positive. Shocked and excited we began looking at names for our baby. There were two names that we thought were really funny...Bubbles and Chubby. So we gave our little one a nick name...Chubby! Baby Chubby is due to arrive November 5th.

Ultrasound

We had our first doctors appointment on April 2nd. We also got our first picture of Chubby. Looks like a little gummy bear to me! It was really cute to see him wiggle around and pretty amazing to hear his little heart beat. On June 26th we had our second ultrasound and found out we are having boy!

First Stuffed Animals
Lambert was the frist stuffed animals we bought for Chubby; we just couldnt resist. Auntie Louise sent Chubby the Fraggles. I'm sure he will have a great time playing with them. In the mean time his daddy is taking good care of them.

First Outfits
Here are some of the first outfits Chubby got from Nana Kathy. Shaun really liked the one on the right becuase it says Daddy's helper. His outfits from Grandma Lesley had not yet arrived.

The Crib

The crib arrived mid July and we were so excited we had to put it together right away. Shaun did most of the work while I supervised/read the instructions. Shaun said overall it was pretty easy. We got the bedding a month later after standing in the store for over an hour. Now we are just waiting for the little guy to get here!

Baby Shower

We had our first baby shower on October 18th. It was a ton of fun and Chubby got some great stuff. (Thanks Everybody) The kids wanted to sing Happy Birthday to the baby so the balloon is standing for chubby.

18 Days & Ready!!!

I have 18 days until the baby's due date and I am so excited. I am ready to not be pregnant. I think Shaun is ready for that too.
