Beth on Bed-Rest


Well no news is good news I suppose...Beth and the baby are doing just fine. Beth is doing a lot better in fact. Her blood pressure has stabilized and her protein has actually gone down. It makes us wonder why we are still here and not being sent home but they said that with bedrest Beth can actually get better but if she went off of bedrest and went home she could get worse very quick so until further notice we're stuck. Beth is really enjoying her bedrest though. She's been able to catch up on her sleep and reading. She's a Sudoku genius too!!! Anyway I've got to go get the laundry out of the dryer now so here's some updated pictures.

Leaving the house as a pair for the final time.

Pretty toes!!! (She is the spoiled-est person I know)

Beth, enjoy your last few weeks as a pregnant person. Even if they are on bedrest. It doesn't get any easier than when the baby is inside, no matter how hard it seems. Once out, they cry and insist on eating all the time--what gives?

Anyway, Feel good, and make sure Zach keeps taking such good care of you.

love
Amy

Amy and Zach - My name is Krsitin Singleton and I am Scott Donaldson's cousin. I love keeping updated on Scott's blog site and just happened to click on your link today. I have had 2 boys prematurely - one at 32 weeks and one at 35 weeks. Both were good sized and well developed. I ended up having a late amnio with my 2nd, and no complications. It sounds like you are in great hands! I will be praying for a healthy delivery and that all continues to go well!

Beth & Zach,
I found your site via Scott's blog, I'm Christy, Tim's wife, one of Scott's good friends from Oregon. I'm pretty sure I remember you guys from their wedding. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you and your baby girl. I have been reading your blog for a while now and am just amazed and moved with your walk with God and how you so openly share it with us. Oh and of course we are praying for little Gabriel too.

HEY!! That room looks familiar!

I heard about the possible induction from Scott as I was getting on the C-130 tonight! So I hope and pray things go well!

Ok, so here's my quarterly post

Sorry I've been so bad about updating. Almost everyone is on Facebook , so I just usually do updates there, but I've been meaning to do this. Hopefully I'll be better. This will just be a quick recap of our summer and early fall.Back in June, we all went to San Diego for a few days. Zach was invited by the Discovery Channel to be interviewed for "After the Catch" - the post season recap with the captains of the "Deadliest Catch" vessels. We decided that the kids and I would go to, since we had the miles and the hotel would be paid for. We had a blast. If you want to see pics from our trip, HERE is a link to the ones on my FB. Ben Bailey was the host this year and it turns out he and Zach look a lot alike. Kinda crazy. See? On July 1, Zach pinned on 0-4. Melissa was nice enough to watch the kids for me, so I could go pin him on. We had the wetting down (military tradition for promotions) in September. We went in with the Dorval's and Becca's XO f...

Potty Trained!

Image
Miss Donavyn is officially potty trained! She's even waking up in the middle of the night to sit on the potty or upset b/c she's pee peed in her pull up. She's doing great. Anyway...we're SO proud of her and she loves hearing that too. I believe we have figured out her love language - words of affirmation with a close second of physical touch. We tried doing the M&M's and stickers, but she didn't really care, just wanted us to give her a big hug and tell her how proud we are of her. Gabriel likes to help her celebrate too. She is so skinny though that panties are just saggy on her. I guess I'll be putting the underwear pattern I bought to good use. Just have to order fabric now. Oh, and she just HAS to read her books while on the potty. She can stay in there forever just sitting on her potty and reading. She gets that from her daddy. *snort* Here are some extra videos. The first is Gabriel and Zach at dinner. Don't mind Zach's hair....he had issu...

Introducing...

Donavyn Faith Koehler!!! Born Sept 25th 2007 at 6:33 pm. She weighed in at 5 lbs 14 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. It's been an exhausting couple of days but we are finally home and couldn't be happier!! We really appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers. We couldn't have done this without the support of everybody out there!! I hate to lump you all together like this but if I were to list everyone of you I think I would break the internet. You are all so special to us and we are truly blessed to have you as friends and family. Mother and Daughter are doing just fine and hopefully 0nce we get settled in a little bit more we'll be able to share our story with you. We have most of it already written but every time we would try to finish it and get it posted we would be interrupted by a doctor or nurse. But no more interruptions now!! (yeah right) But we promise we will get more pictures posted and fill you in on the exciting new addition to our family. God Bless You ...
