We took our U.P. camping trip and had a fabulous time! The weather was a little unsettled the day we arrived, but the other days it warmed up fairly nicely and we all came back with some sun/color on our faces. We took a day to visit the Taquamenon Falls, a day to visit Mackinac Island, but also a day to just hang around the campground and visit the beach. It was so fun to hang with good friends, play with the boys, and also have my parents camp with us--in which we discovered that Pat makes an excellent babysitter! Not to be misunderstood though as Pat probably had just as much fun playing (if not more so) with the boys. :) Lots of great pictures of our adventures are found on my facebook account if you're interested in taking a peek.
We came home to a phone message that my routine pregnancy glucose test had been high and would require a follow up 3 hour glucose test to determine whether I have gestational diabetes. (eek!) That news made me rather grumpy for the rest of the week...to add to it, I had my pharm class and also an on-line test and other work to complete before I left for our church group's trip to work at a camp in northern Michigan. Needless to say, I still haven't felt the relaxation of summer dayz yet!
Now, jump ahead to today. My test is completed, I got to spend two days at camp with my church family, including some much needed rest time on my most favorite beach in Michigan. And, I received a phone call yesterday from the doctor's office to let me know I had passed my follow up glucose test, so no gestational diabetes!
yeah!
Now my summer feels like it is beginning. Tomorrow & Friday I spend some time at the MASN board summer retreat, but from there my calender opens up and relaxation begins!! Well, at least til the next project on the list: preparing baby's bedroom...look for pictures to come!

I am so glad your test went well and you don't have the gestational diabetes. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly. Is it going fast for you? This pregnancy is going really fast for me! And I will probably finish my Pharmacology on Friday. It's such a tough course, but I feel like I learned a lot and it didn't all go over my head.
I too had to do the 3-hour glucose test, but then passed it, and it does make on grumpy! :0\ I'm glad you feel your summer can begin now - one of these days when Jordan and I ride down to your house, I just know we'll find you at home!
