The Alsmans

I didn't think I would make it this far. Today is Baby Alsman's due date. I don't think he or she will be born today. We are just hoping that Baby A will wait until after Christmas now. We will update later with pictures (I was hoping we would have pics of the baby at this point). Don't think I can get much bigger! I go back to the doctor tomorrow. Let's hope for some good news.

I went to the doctor this morning. I still haven't made any progress. Sad! I am still going to work and have two more days left (if I can make it). With the snowstorm yesterday during rush hour, it took 4 hours to get home. No fun for a VERY pregnant girl to be driving in! We are supposed to have another storm tomorrow but this one will be more ice. I may have to call in sick!!!

I go back to the doctor on Tuesday, the 23rd. We will discuss an induction at that point. I hope I have the baby over the weekend!!!

Here are some more belly pics! Wish they were baby pics at this point. We are getting very anxious and can't wait to have our son or daughter with us. I have 4 more days of work and hope this week goes by quickly!! I go back to the doctor on Wednesday. I am hoping I have progressed. I am trying to walk a lot and am trying to be very active. I hope it helps!!!

I went to the doctor yesterday. I am still not dilated yet. The doctor said if I haven't had the baby by my due date (the 22nd), they usually wait a week to induce. So as of right now, she said she would probably induce on Dec. 30th. Let's hope Baby Alsman wants to come on his or her own before then. I don't think I can be pregnant for 19 more days. I have been really tired lately and am ready for Baby A. to be born. The girls at work had a little shower for me on Monday. It was really nice and we had some yummy red velvet cake! I am hoping to make it to Grant's Work Christmas Party on Saturday night. It is at the River North Art Center downtown so it should be really neat.

38 Week Pictures! Some people have told me they think my belly has dropped. When compared to 37 weeks, it looks a little lower!?! It could just be wishful thinking! I go back to the doctor on Wednesday.

We are anxiously awaiting Baby Alsman's arrival! I went to the doctor and haven't progressed at all. I have been a little more tired this week. Baby Alsman continues to move all over the place. We think we figured out which way he or she is positioned. We can definitely see his or her little hands and feet moving around. It is so neat! We can just stare at my belly for hours!
