Olivia's 4 Year Well Visit AND 7 Days until Jack's Big Arrival

Today is a big day here!!! Olivia had her 4 year well visit this morning and we only have 7 more days until Jack is here!!!

Olivia's appointment with Dr. B went very well! He is such an amazing doctor and has us all laughing the entire visit! He really has a great "bedside" manner! He makes going to the doctor so much easier on all of us!

The appointment started off easy.... Olivia weighed in at 35.4 lbs, which put her in the 50th percentile for weight, and measured in at 42.5 inches, which is the 95% percentile for height! Her lean body mass is only in the 10th percentile. What a lucky little girl! Long and lean! Unfortunately the fun and games did not last long, as Olivia was due for 4 shots and a finger prick to test her iron. The finger prick was a breeze, but as soon as they laid her down for her shots, the tears were on! Luckily it was over quickly, and other than a flu shot, she is done with immunizations until she's 11! That is definitely good news! Now we get to start all over next week with the next one! :)

It's hard to imagine that in 7 short days we will be in the hospital with a newborn! We are all very excited! Every day Olivia says, "Mommy I want Jack to come today!". I am glad she is so excited to meet her baby brother. I just hope she still feels that way when we bring him home and she realizes she is not the center of attention any longer! Denny and I are both extremely excited, but like any soon to be parents, are aprehensive just that everything will go well with the surgery and that Jack is born healthy, without any complications! Please pray for a safe delivery and an easy transition for us all! :)

We will be sure to keep everyone updated next week as we welcome Jack into our family!
