Flow Designer: Trigger to Run Approval Reminder

I have created a Flow in Flow Designer to send out Approval Reminder emails (for Approval records that are still in a Requested state).  What is the best way to create a Trigger in Flow Designer that runs exactly two BUSINESS days after the initial Approval record is created?

 

I am thinking maybe have the Trigger run every day, but somehow code the conditions on my "Look Up Records" action to only pull the ones created exactly 2 Business days before today, but am not sure how to do that.

 

Any ideas?

After hunting around, I think I found a workable solution.  It looks like this:

The only caveat is that it is working off of actual days, instead of Business Days, but I think we can work with that in this case, since it is only an email reminder.  If submitted late on a Friday before a 3 day weekend, the Approver may come in Tuesday to find both the original email and the reminder email in their inbox, but I think that is a minor inconvenience.
