Beds arrive : It was a dreary rainy Thursday afternoon; voilà our own sunshine arrives. Two  specially ordered beds, our Cosmopolitan Four Poster Birthing Bed the Sleigh bed arrived in perfect condition . Though we were in the middle of a construction zone we just had to put one together with a set of  beautiful Laura Ashley bedding…just to keep us dreaming of our opening day. The Contemporary Bed is on it’s way. Thanks for dreaming with us.

We had an exciting investors meeting full of information and updates on each step of our construction. We ended the evening with a scrumptious dinner at YiaYias.Cathy will give us a weekly update on progress on Overland Park permits.

We firmly believe in everyone learning CPR . Please review these procedures. All  staff at NBC are certified in Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

We wish all our dads/fathers the best Fathers Day. Bless all of you who have filled this spot in our lives.

See you next week.

I am “reposting”  a portion of Cathy’s last post so that all can connect the comments noted below.

New Birth Company Birth Center had a due date given by our contractors of June 17th, for our completion.  Unfortunately, at this time we have come against a snag, or maybe I should say an ROCK WALL.  We have not received all of our permits for building the reaming parts of the building!  It is really frustrating to be held up by the permit people in Overland Park.  Basically we request a permit, and then the planning department responds with questions or approval.  We have been quick to answer all questions within 24 hours and serve as ready for any more at any time.  Unfortunately, Overland Park has a process where they are not obligated to respond to requests for 21 days.  They actually make us wait the entire 21 days to respond to our permitting process. The delay is not only very painful, but also very expensive to us as we are making payments for a facility we are not using. We have spent countless hours in meetings, writing letters, talking on the phone and waiting. I have been told, this is there slow time, and I wonder, really?

I think getting an accurate EDD is very important, even for New Birth Company.  Inaccurate information is costly, time, consuming and painful!
