Dateline 2/26

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.
