Update from the Currie Household

First and foremost, COLE B IS HOME!! Eric went and picked him up this AM. He looks so happy to be home! He is pitiful looking though. He has 2 shaved legs, one from where his IV was and the other was shaved where they had a pain med patch applied. His belly is all sutured up and you can tell he is still uncomfortable. We will be watching him 24/7 for the next few days! It is so hard to keep him calm--even with the load of meds the vet gave us! We are happy to have him home and Luie is happy to have his brother home!

We went for our 28 week check up yesterday. What a big boy we have on our hands! He is still measuring (from the outside) 1-2 weeks larger...so about 29-30 weeks. We have an ultrasound in 2 weeks to check the size of baby from the inside. We shall see! I failed the quickie glucola test for gestational diabetes. The nurse called me this AM to advise me that my sugars were slightly elevated. This does not mean that I am gestationally diabetic, but it does mean that I have to go for the famous 3 hour glucola tolerance test! Means drinking that lovely sugar drink and getting my blood drawn 4 times! OUCH! That will be a better indicator of whether it is diabetes or not. I will call on Monday to schedule that and keep you updated. Other than that, things are looking good, no protein in the urine, BP is good, just need to keep it easy on my days off to reduce the swelling and prevent stress on the body!

BIG NEWS FROM ERIC--he has taken a huge leap in his career. He is no longer at TJ Maxx (I know, no more cheap clothes and pocket books!!) but he is now the store manager of JoAnns on Falls of Neuse!! (so now, I just have to get crafty and maybe even pick up scrapbooking!!) It is such a wonderful milestone for him and I am so happy for him. He will be going through 4 weeks of training and then onto his new store! I am sure there will be further updates on this as well! So proud of you EC!!

Until next time--
