Grant and I have decided on names for Baby Alsman. Some of you may already know them, but we decided we would share them with everyone. If Baby Alsman is a boy, his name will be Aidan Bennett Alsman. If Baby Alsman is a girl, her name will be Caitlin Rose Alsman! We can't believe we will meet our sweet little baby in about 8 weeks.
Baby Alsman continues to get bigger each week! He or she is moving around alot and is beginning to make mommy uncomfortable. But, knowing that Baby A. continues to grow makes all the pain worth it!! My 32 Week appointment is on Wednesday! We hope everything continues to go well!
I went to the doctor on Oct. 14th for my 30 week check-up. I had to see my doctor's PA because she was in a delivery! The PA said that Baby Alsman's heartbeat was very fast, which is usually a sign that it is a girl. But, then she said I was carrying more like it's a boy. So, it is still a mystery!!! Everything else is going well and I go back in 2 weeks to meet one of the other OBs.
Grant and I went down to Evansville this past weekend for our first baby shower! We had a great time! On Saturday, we went to the Evansville Fall Festival and Grant enjoyed all of his old favorite foods (haystacks, pronto pups, etc.). The shower was on Sunday and was so nice! Cheryl, Brooke and Joey hosted the shower and we can't thank them enough for all they did! We loved everything about it and want to thank everyone for their generosity!! We also had fun playing with our nieces, Laney and Hadley. We can't believe how big they are getting!!

I went for my 28 Week appt. on Sept. 30th. I had to have an ultrasound because my placenta was low and the doctor was worried about it. But, after the ultrasound, my placenta moved, so that is great news!! We got to see a few more pictures of Baby Alsman!!! He or She weighs 2 lbs. 13 oz. right now and is in the 50th-75th percentile according to the doctor! Everything looks great. Baby Alsman has also been VERY active over the last few weeks. As you can see in the ultrasound picture, Baby A. already knows how to suck his or her thumb!!! We have a smart one on our hands! Grant and I can't believe we only have about 12 more weeks until we get to meet our baby. We are so excited and hope these last weeks go by fast.
