The Nursery is Only Missing One Thing............. BABY CHAD!

The nursery is finished!! Well, except for baby Chad. I am very very pleased with it. It looks awesome! Here are a few pictures:















Thank you to everyone who helped shower baby Chad with gifts. He will definitely be dressed is style. He has all kinds of fun things to play with.  I can't wait for him to get here so that I can use everything on him. 

It is so nice to know that so many people love and care for him and he's not even here yet.

I went to see the perinatologist today for another ultrasound. Everything is still looking great. He was relaxing. He had one arm bent with his hand behind his head. The other hand was up by his shoulder and chin. I guess his hands have been what I have been feeling on my bladder since he is still head down. I am glad to know that he is comfy in there, but he's definitely running out of room.

My blood pressure was a little on the low side last Thursday when I went to the OBGYN. This morning at the perinatologist it was a little low as well. They decided to cut the dose in half again. I am very glad that it is low instead of high. It is an easier fix and has less complications. 

I didn't post any ultrasounds pictures because they look just like the previous ones.

As far as I know, they are still planning on inducing me on the 11th. If so, his birthday would be 11/11/11, kinda neat I think. Thursday when I go to the OBGYN I am going to try and get a definitive answer. 

As of now it is still a waiting game. I am getting nervous and anxious all at the same time. We just can't wait to see what he looks like.

The nursery is coming along...

The nursery is coming along nicely. Mimi made some curtains for little Chad's room. They were hung this weekend and look great. We have also started to put a few things together. We also hung a "Welcome Baby Coker" sign that Zach's Aunt Jenny and Cousin Kelsey made. Here are a few pictures:










We finally put together the swing that my wonderful coworkers gave us.

I went back to the perinatologist on Monday and had my weekly ultrasound. Baby Chad weighed 5 1/2 pounds. He is getting to be a big boy. Here are a few pictures of his face:


His profile, with his nose and lips.


Baby's face...so precious!

Tomorrow we will be 35 weeks along. So, only about 4 weeks left. It is definitely starting to sink in. Today we went and met with a nurse at the pediatrician's office just to see how things are going to work. 

Back to the doctor on Thursday....

Baby Has More Pictures

Here are two pictures from the ultrasound on Monday. The last one may be kind of hard to tell what is what.

Chad's face.


This is his face again. It's turned on it's side. If you turn your head to the right it might help.

I may be able to have a 3-D ultrasound done this coming Monday. I'm not sure if I want it though.  I'm not sure if I want to know what he looks like yet. I think I may just want to wait until he is born, I'm not sure yet.
