July Grateful List
August 16, 2015
In July I found out that I had gestational diabetes which really highlighted to me how much of our lives center around food. Brunch with friends, spontaneous ice cream runs, cooking dinner with A. and trying out new recipes and restaurants... adjusting to a strictly controlled diet has been a challenge to say the least. Since this is a grateful post and not a bitterly complaining post, I'll just say that I am GRATEFUL it will most likely go away when Baby 2 is born and leave it at that.
Arts
- Above the Fold exhibit at the Chrysler
- Listening to lots of Jenny Lewis
- Blogging day with M. (blogging is an art, right?)
Food
- Rediscovering my love for tea (since my regular lattes and fraps aren't on the GD diet). So far I'm loving this a lot. (Can anybody recommend others?)
- Fresh croaker courtesy of fisherman James
- Sushi at Hokkaido (this was pre-diabetes, those were the days)
- Visiting with Norfolk Fire-Rescue and meeting a pirate! at the Larchmont Library
- Mornings at the pool

- Anouk rocking her second session of swim lessons and moving up into the Eel group
- Anouk starting camp three days a week (thank GOODNESS)
