Our Busy Past 2 Weeks

I have been busy working in the nursery. Zach and I found this wall decal and fell in love with it. He likes the owls. I put it up in stages. Here is a picture of it finished:

We had two wonderful showers this past weekend. One was from my co-workers. Baby Chad got some really great gifts. He got a swing, lots of clothes, books, and other toys. On Saturday Zach's Aunt and Cousin threw another awesome shower. Baby Chad received more great presents. I can't wait to see him in his cute clothes. He got a bouncer, and all the other great essentials for him. It made Zach and I both more excited for him to get here. Both showers were great! Thank you to everyone who attended them and made them so special. Thank you spoiling out little guy! 

If you ask me, it looks like Babies-R-Us threw up in our house. Haha. I know...it's just the beginning of all of his stuff!!

I went back to the Perinatologist today for an ultrasound. From this point until he is born Monday is my "ultrasound" day and Thursday is "OB" day. Everything is still going well. My blood pressure is still on the low side so my medicine has been cut again. He is still growing strong. He weighed 4 pounds 5 ounces today. Today he was trying to put his knees, feet, and hands in his mouth. This Wednesday I will be 33 weeks, so about 6 more weeks to go. He is still very active. Here are a few pictures.

Baby Chad's precious face. His eyes are closed in this one.

Here is his face again, this time his eye is open. Look hard for the tiny slit.

This is a profile of his face. Look at those lips.

 I will post some pictures from the showers sometime soon.

Baby's New Pictures

I am a little behind on this.  I have had my glucose tolerance test. I did fail the fist one because they told me that I could eat. I then had o do the 3 hour test and have blood drawn every 3 hours. It turned out fine, so I can continue to eat sugar!! YAY! I'm not sure what I would have done without my dairy Oreo's at lunch!

I have had several check ups with my OB/GYN. So far everything is going great. I will probably not go to the 40 week mark of my pregnancy. They may let me go at 39 weeks. Since I have not had any problems with my blood pressure so far, they do not want me to get to the point that I start having problems. They want the baby to continue getting adequate blood supply, and as the pregnancy goes on circulation could decrease.

I went back to the perinatologist this past Monday. I am now 31 weeks. My blood pressure was a little on the low side. If it continues to drop, they will cut down on my medicine dosage.  He was still very active. He was kicking, turning, and rolling. He has the hiccups at least 2-3 times a day, usually after I eat.  He has been staying about in the same spot.

This is baby's profile....you can see his lips, and nose pretty well.

This is baby's face looking straight on. Zach and I have been trying to figure out who he looks like.....both of us...haha!

 Most importantly, baby now has a name: Zachary Chad Coker II. We will not refer to him as Junior, we will call him by his middle name, Chad.
