Emily’s been doing well at keeping the weight off. I was told the other evening that I haven’t gained any sympathy weight either. These are good signs. This is what we want to hear!

We’re both on our feet quite a lot: Emily at school and clinicals (running around the hospital) and me at work serving people tea. Also, now that it’s summer, Wake Forest has concerts in the park which is probably less than a mile from our apartment. We walked to the park last week to catch the local high school’s jazz band but we’re a little too late. They’d gone! This Sunday we left earlier and walked to the park in time this time to find a sign saying the concert had been moved for fear of rain. The concert, featuring a zydeco band, was now at a different park about another half mile from this one, further on away from our place. We made it in time and enjoyed a couple of songs and then headed back.

What I really wanted to tell you though was that today Emily’s been cleaning out the cupboards and by that I do mean cleaning them out by organizing and cleaning them out by eating. She was pretty tickled to find a chocolate bar (Hershey’s dark) hidden in the back of one of the cabinets. This was before the walk to the park(s). Who but a pregnant woman would take a chocolate bar with her on a walk, munching (and sharing a piece here and there) as we walk?!
