Happy Birthday

Aidan Howard Almanza was born on October 8, 2007 (Columbus Day) at 3:18 pm.
He weighed 8.54 lbs and is 20.5 inches long.
He has black hair and blue eyes (at least for now). Mommy thinks he is the cutest thing she has EVER seen. Aidan had his first doctor's appointment today and he is almost back up to his birth weight. He is doing great. Mom and Dad are a little tired, but we are getting by....spending some time getting to know our little guy.

OVER DUE!!!

We are at 40 weeks and counting. Doesn't look like Aidan is planning on making his grand entrance on his own. I went to the doctor on Friday. He is very happy where he is. Because I'm past due, they had me do a NST (Non-stress Test). I basically get hooked up to a monitor for 20 minutes and they check his heart rate. Doctor said he was very smart and perfect, "text book". So he's doing well! I have to go back on Monday and do the same thing all over again. We will be checking into the hospital on Thursday evening and being induced Friday morning....unless for some reason he decides he's ready. Keep praying for that!

Two More Weeks!!

Well, after my doctor's appointment on Friday....doesn't look like there will be any baby sightings until October 12th! Aidan has made himself quite comfortable and isn't making any attempts at coming out to meet us. Unless by some miracle things change, I will be induced on October the 12th! So the count down is still on!
Damian's office had a really nice baby shower for us last week. He works with a great group of people. They decorated the conference room all cute with balloons and decorations. They gave us a bunch of stuff that is going to come in very handy, including a bouncy seat that Damian put together last night. Sadie doesn't know what to think about it. She has to sniff it every time she walks by it. Pretty funny!
