you could possibly need a new alternator.

the alternator checks out fine.

have you check the transmission fluid level ?

Flashing O/D can be bad solenoid too.

Transmission fluid is fine it was the first thing i checked. how do you know if its a bad solenoid?

Wouldn't hurt to check the ECU for leaking capacitors. The ECU is underneath the passengers side carpeting up by the firewall. Disconnect the battery, pull back the carpeting remove the plastic black box cover and then remove the ECU without breaking the harness. Crack it open and check for signs of leaking or corrosion. Any slight leakage is a red flag. Post up what you find! GL.

Flashing O/D means transmission failure.

8 months pregnant and you ask her to pull off the ECU just in case?

At 132k miles it is highly unlikely unless previous owners haven't touched the fluids.
