Little Alina is here!!

Little Alina arrived on Tuesday March 17, 2009 at 6:34am. She weighed in at a massive 6.5 pounds and 19 inches long. I went into labor around 7pm on Monday the 16th and arrived at the hospital at around 11pm. I gave birth just a few hours later and it was not so bad after all. They say it is the most painful thing you will go through but the the easiest to forget and that is definately true. She is beautiful and very healtly. At her two day checkup she had dropped to 6.4 pounds but last Friday the 27th she weighed 6.11 pounds so she is on the right track.

It is almost time!!

I went to the doctor today and I found out that I am over 2cm dilated and 50 percent effaced. She scheduled me an appt for next Friday morning but she said she would be surprised if I made it until then. Ed's prediction is Wednesday the 18th. We will see and I will let all know when I go into labor.

Is it over yet!!

It is getting to the point where I am ready for little Alina to come on out. I have to say I have had a very good pregnancy with no problems but I am getting bigger and simple everyday tasks are getting more difficult. Getting out of the car, working 10 and 11 hour days etc. I have managed to not miss one day of work since I found out I was pregnant and I still walk at least a mile a day back and forth to the hospital dropping and picking things up for work. I will keep everyone updated on the labor front and hopefully she will be here in the next few weeks. I have an appt next Friday the 13th for my 38th week appt so I will see how much I am dilated and when she can come on out.
