New Addition!


Well, he has finally arrived! Richard Reed Martinez III joined our family March 6th at 2:33 pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. After 6 hours of labor and being dilated to 10 cm. Baby Reed decided he wanted a good look at this world. He tried to come our face first and that eventually ended up in an emergency c-section for mom. Fifteen minutes later, bruised nose and all, he graced us with his presence! To me he looked just like Victoria when she was born. Now he has his own personality and look to him! He sure is sweet! He rarely cries and is very alert! We sure love him and feel very blessed that he made it here safe and sound. Victoria loves to give him kisses and hold him often. She is a great big sister! She seems so big to me now! He is the newest picture of the whole Martinez family!

Rachel! Congratulations! If this sweet little boy is even half as cute as Victoria, then you are one lucky couple. I hope you are feeling well and that little Reed will quickly pick up on the proper way of feeding! :)
