Glucose and monkeys

After a few weeks of joking around about how hard it would be for Lorrie to give up ice cream and other desserts if her glucose tolerance test came back positive for gestational diabetes, we finally got the results: Normal! Celebration with 2 pieces of pie was definitely in order. (It was fruit pie). The rest of the check-up went fine too...baby's heart beat was nice and strong. In other news, we had a nice visit from the Ippensen grandparents-to-be this weekend as well. We showed them some of the baby-related goods we're looking at and they helped add a few monkey-related items to the nursery setup (jungle/animal theme). Very cute. It all started with Curious George. We're also very excited for our friends Tracy and Tricia Dierks who are also expecting (November). They've set up a baby website too - check it out for more ultrasound fun and excitement.
