We had another doctor appointment this past Thursday and Olivia is measuring at 37 weeks. So she is 2 weeks ahead and in 93 % for her age. She still has long legs. Everything looks real good and on schedule for our 4/14 7:00 PM check in at the Hospital.
Tina is still doing the twice a week non-stress test and Olivia is doing fine on these too. In just over 2 weeks we will have the new addition to the family.
For now thank you for all your thoughs and prayers over the last few years. We are almost there; then we will ask for you continued prayers over the next 18 years :)

News from the baby front
Last week we had a ultrasound to check her activity and she passed
with flying colors. All signs are still pointing to a 4/14 inducement
date. The Ultrasound tech made Tina's day when she said she saw hair.
On the Nursery front we have made great strides:
Glider - done
Crib - done
Dresser 1 - done
Dresser 2 - done
Bassinet - done
Hutch - Still Missing in action, but the Direct Buy folks still report
it will be here any day.
More to come later this week as we will have new measurements and I will
try to get some pictures from the showers up too.
Till then thank you for reading.

Our 3/8 Pit stop
Tina had been very sick over last weekend, so on Sunday I convinced her to call the doctor who just happen to be on call at the hospital last weekend. She asked us to come in so that Tina could be checked out and as we thought Tina was dehydrated due to being sick. So after 2 IV bags of fluids and a prescription for something to help her stomach we were able to go home.
Tina had done a kick count on Olivia at home and she was just fine, but the doctor had us do a non-stress test while we were there since Tina had on scheduled for Monday. As the nurse was working on Tina's computer I noticed that the date of birth was listed as 3/11/69 which is not our Tina's birthday. So I looked closely at the name and it read Tina Kay Carter. WRONG TINA!!!!!!!!!!! This was an hour into the non-stress test which had just become stressful. Even more so when we were told that none of the date that was collected on the stress test was usable since it had been logged under the wrong patient name.
We got the non-stress test done and Tina did not have to go back on Monday, YAHOO!
FOOTNOTE:
We have the following parts of the nursery together:
1 Crib - important but not to be used for the first 6 months
2 Glider - all the hardware got here and we got it together
3 Dresser 1 - put together
4 Dresser 2 - not assembled yet
5 Hutch - MIA missing in action although Direct Buy reports it is on the way
I spent 2 years at Purdue and my dad has a degree in engineering and we spent 5 hours putting together a crib and dresser. Thanks dad for all you help and if any of this ever falls or breaks I will make sure that Olivia knows you helped me put it together. After all is all for one and one for all RIGHT?

April 14 is around the corner
Time has flown by. It seems just last week we were working with Dr D. With April fast approaching and I wanted to tell you a story that is common in many a parents life.
We ordered a Glider for Tina and Olivia to sit in during feedings. It is a very nice Cherry colored Glider with 1 small (MAJOR) problem. None of the nuts and bolts were included. Like most of the stuff we buy in this country this was not made in the USA; in fact it was not made in North America it was made in China. So for a month the glider sat as we waited for the hardware to be sent to us. We got it last week and I stated to put the Glider together only to find out that we had but 2 Barrel nuts. Not a problem unless the directions call for 4!!!!!!! So today I will be making another call to get more hardware but I am also going to see if maybe Lowe's or Home Depot may have them. Cross your fingers and knock on wood for me.
If this has happen to the glider I really look forward to her first bike.
A special shout out to our nephew Brendan. He has been sick and under the weather the last few days and is a huge follower of our blog.
