Well, the end of the school year is finally here.
Wow.
It's been an exceptionally busy one. So...how else should we follow it up, but with an extremely jam-packed summer!
A couple recent and upcoming highlights:
1) Vince is now down in
Ashland, OR working on summer number two of his three year Masters program. Due to the insanely late end of the year in his district this year (thanks to the strike and several snow days) he had to take a week off school to head down. He's staying in a condo with five other guys he met last year and has declared it to be "the lap of luxury" compared to staying in the dorms. Let's see...flat screen, air conditioning, pool and hot tub, washer/dryer....yep...sounds pretty darn good.
2) That leaves Miles and me on our own for about three weeks. We'll keep you posted on how that goes.
3) Miles starts swim lessons next week. He's VERY excited! I'll make sure to post more about that once they start.
4) Baby Girl Caruso is growing...a lot! We found out a few weeks back that I have gestational diabetes. I was able to control my blood sugar during the daytime pretty well with diet alone. However, my numbers kept going up, up, up at night (apparently this is completely hormone-driven) and so they've put me on medication. I was offered a daily pill or insulin shots.
Ummmm...let me think about that one. Seriously!?!?! Who picks shots?!?!? Anyway, the
meds are working well, but I now have weekly appointments and twice-weekly non-stress tests for the baby. Our ultrasound this week showed that baby is healthy and very big....she's about 5 1/2 lbs already with seven more weeks to go. Good thing we're having a c-section!
5) Our c-section is tentatively scheduled for August 4. I say tentatively because they've already changed it on us a couple times due to doctor and OR schedules. But, for now, this is the date we're anticipating her arrival.
There are some of the big news items for now. I'll try to post more regularly now that school is done. (Well, after tomorrow, that is!)
Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. Hope you have a great one!
