Well today we completed our new parent classes. And I can say I have now changed 1 diaper and swaddled 1 doll. Olivia is doing fine our latest doctor visit was last week and she is now 4 LB 2 OZ which averages out to 1/2 a LB every week.
We are now having non-stress test 2 times a week but they are anything but non-stress. They monitor Olivia's heart rate for 20 min, but that is after it takes 20 min to find the heart beat. Then the girl goes and over achieves. For her age they only need to see her change her heart rate by 10 beats over 20 min. But not our girl OH NO she goes and changes her heart rate by 15 beats. Now we find out that since they know she can do it they now need her to do that again. 1 1/2 hour later and 2 slices of cheese later she does another 15. SO our 20 min visit turned into almost 2 hours.
April showers have started early this year. We have completed 2 of our 4 showers for Tina and Olivia. I will post some pictures over the up coming days but wanted to say we are truly blessed to have the family and friends that we have. You are each very special to us.
I better close for now. Hugs and Kisses from the Carter family.

2 months and 1 week till lift OFF
Well, we had another appointment last Thursday and Miss Olivia is back down in the 86% of her growth chart, she’s a good girl! She is 3 lbs. 2oz now and is still measuring a little ahead of schedule. She is still very active and started out looking at us during the ultra sound and by the end had completely flipped and snuggled in for a nap with both hands curled up around her head. She was hiding! Mom is doing good – tired, but feels good. (other than some feet swelling, how fun is that!) Blood pressure and sugars are good!
If we get to have her naturally, we have a date! April 14th is currently the inducement date. If we have to go with a c-section, we are looking at 4/15 or 4/16…so either way, only 9 weeks left!!! Mommy and Daddy are both so excited and can’t wait for the big day! Aunt Lara is guessing 4/15 at 10:40am…get it, tax day 1040 EZ…lol
Next appointment is 2/17 for our first non-stress test…stay tuned!
