Mommy Hang Out

During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.  My husband was very supportive to keep my blood sugars under control. He was very careful to shop for healthy groceries. He has always been a healthy food conscious shopper anyways but he was super conscious about it during my pregnancy. During my first visit at the diabetes clinic at the Women's Hospital, I started chatting with another expectant mommy in the waiting room. We exchanged contacts because we seemed to enjoy chatting. We met up once after our babies were born and gave each other baby gifts. We also exchanged diapers and a baby outfit.  During our next meet up, I am getting us bubble tea to celebrate that we have no diabetes now! I am grateful to make a new friend in such an unexpected environment; the diabetes clinic.
