The Alm Family: Awaiting Little Donny Alm IV!

It shouldn't be long now until the arrival of little Donny Alm IV! We are officially a term baby as of tomorrow 1/23/08. We (well, especially Steph) is hoping that Donny will make is appearance soon! We have been getting the apartment ready for the new arrival including putting together furniture, washing tons of baby clothes and bottles and putting together toys. We hope that little Donny will like all he has gotten at his baby showers (we know he will)! We are both getting nervous but also very excited about his arrival! We are lucky that Don will have 12 weeks of paid paternity leave with his current job to get to stay at home and take care of Donny.

It will be crowded at the apartment until we move this summer so since we will be moving this summer we are just using a bassinet until we move because we don't have room for the crib in our apartment! We can't wait to get a house this summer and for little Donny to really have his own room! Until then Donny will sleep in his bassinet in our room, but half of his stuff will the in the guest room/office/music room/Donny's room! What a versatile place! So that being said we don't have a real nursery but instead have baby stuff all over our apartment. We can't wait to have a real nursery (especially Steph)!

We will try to keep this blog updated as best as we can for family and friends who are interested in what is going on. Keep praying that this pregnancy continues to go well and that little Donny will actually come before his official due date of Feb 13th 2008 as Steph doesn't have a lot of time off before having to go back to school if he comes on time! Also pray that all goes smoothly when it is time for the delivery and that little Donny is born healthy!

Until then, enjoy some pics from our baby shower up in NJ that was planned so wonderfully by Aunt Vickie with help from Pop Pop Don and Mom Mom Cheryl!
