Hi there, really saddened to hear about your BGs being so erratic yesterday. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be. Poor you. I hope today is much better and that you can enjoy the remainder of the weekend. So lovely that you and your husband have your boy in your lives .. sounds really sweet. I hope you all have a great day celebrating his 25th. Imagine how old I'll feel by the time my girl is 25!
