And the Rocking Chair is DONE!

Yesterday my friend Wendy and I worked on recovering the rocking chair. It took us about 6 1/2 (hey, we're both perfectionist, and it was going to be done right) hours but it is finished and looks great. We took about an hour break to eat a yummy country dinner that my mother made us, then it was back to work.  Here are some pictures that show our progress...

Before and After.....

And of course, she thinks it's for her....

It's already being put to good use....silly girl!

I could not have done this without the help of Wendy. She was a lifesaver.  It feels good to have something else off my list of things to do. Now, on to the next thing.....when I figure out what it is...

Update on Baby's Room

A couple of weekends ago we put the crib together....once we found the hidden directions! It still needs a mattress, I just put the bedding in it to see what it would look like. I am very pleased so far.

The rocking chair is coming along nicely. It is sanded, stained, and has 3 coats of polyurethane. 

My friend Wendy and I are going to recover it this weekend. I can't wait to see what it looks like once we are done. 

I have another doctor's appointment with the perinatologist this coming Tuesday. It should just be an ultrasound and blood pressure check. I'm sure there will be new pictures of Baby Coker. I definitely feel like he is growing and he seems to like only the right side of my tummy. He moves all the time, I don't know when he stops and sleeps. I sure hope it doesn't mean he won't sleep when he gets here. 

Baby Boy Coker's Journey

I've been meaning to do this for quite some time. I think it will be an easy way for everyone to see what has been going on with our growing family. It will also give our families friends a chance to keep up with us too. Feel free to pass this on to others. We hope you all enjoy!


I went to the perinatologist last week. For those of you who don't know, I have high blood pressure and am considered high risk, so that's why I see a perinatologist. Everything is looking great with the pregnancy so far. Baby weighed 1 pound 4 ounces. He is right on target where he should be.

Baby's face, you can only see one eye....but he has two.

This past weekend the nursery got painted. It looks awesome. I am so excited to get started on the fun part....DECORATING!!! Here's what we have so far....crib will be assembled soon.

I have also been working on refinishing a rocking chair that was my great grandmother's on my Dad's side. I have a friend from work that is going to help me recover it. I PLAN to be finished sanding it and staining it this weekend. We, shall see. I am very excited about this project too.

After all the fabric was removed

I guess that is all for now, we hope that everyone enjoys this. It's a simple way for everyone to know what has been going on with us and the baby. I'm sure there will be lots of pictures here once the little guys gets here. We can't wait to see what he look like....


Love,
Zach, Jess, Baby Boy, and Millie
