Colorado Babies

Anyone interested in joining a meetup group?

Hi ladies! First of all, congrats on your pregnancies. This is such a nerve wrecking/wonderful/intimidating time for us all!

I live in downtown Denver and am due with our first in March. I was thinking about starting a group on www.meetup.com for Denver Metro pregnant couples to occasionally get together and for moral support. My husband and I love meeting new people (don't worry, we're NOT swingers) and would really like to make some friends who are also going through their pregnancies. Hoping this could eventually lead to play dates and friends for our babies! We are both active people and can usually be found at Wash Park playing volleyball, playing kickball, bowling leagues, Rockies games or whatever else that is a more fun a social way of avoiding bars! Since our new (and exciting) lifestyle will unfortunately prevent us from doing some of our favorite things, we are looking for new activities with like minded friends to enjoy our first pregnancy to the fullest!

If you would be interested in joining, please let me know. I don't want to go through the hassle of starting the group if I don't have at least a few people who would want to join! I thought this might be a more fun, supportive, FREE OF TB SNARK way to meet new people :)

Re: Anyone interested in joining a meetup group?

  • Hi! I'm interested. Already met one cool Denver mom through TB. Would love to meet more.
  • Loading the player...
  • I know, I'm bummed I missed the walk! I didn't see the message Caroline left in my inbox in time :( 

    I'm wondering if maybe people think this is some sort of solicitation? Anyway, I'll start putting something together through meetup in hopes of attracting more moms/couples who don't use this site. It would be really fun to get a small group together to do some pregnant-friendly socialization!

    @blueroad didn't you say you live in Sloan's lake? My husband and I have our eye on a couple houses over there! That's where we really want to be but we need to sell our loft over by Coors Field first.
  • Cool! Keep me posted when the meetup group is set up.

    And yep, we live 1 block north of Sloan's lake. We love it but will prob move further south once our lease is up next July... my H's job takes him further south and he didn't anticipate all the Denver traffic (we just moved here). But we both love outdoorsy/active stuff and are up for fun exploring-Denver type activities. :)
  • Oh and also..I think Caroline and I are gonna meet up again at REI on Aug 31 in the morning to go walking (or maybe rent BCycles) up Platte River. The more the merrier :)
  • Ok let me know what time! I'm not a super morning person FYI but I seem to be waking up earlier now thanks to my stupid pregnancy dreams! 
  • I think we're meeting at 9am. Just let me know whenever if you want to join and I'll send a msg with my cell #!
  • My husband and I live in Arvada-Wheat Ridge area, but would def. be interested! We're due at the end of Jan :)
  • Hi @shaynetorres! I plan on setting up the meetup group in the next couple of weeks. I haven't personally come out to the social media world yet, so I'm afraid to start the group and have my friends find out I'm pregnant that way! In the meantime, I'd love to come up with some things we can do to get to know each other. Would love to include SOs so they can feel like they're part of this and have future dads to relate to! How about this: I'll list some potential dates that we could do something and then you girls let me know what works for you?

    Weekdays in the evenings: 8/28, 8/29, 9/3, 9/8

    or

    Weekends (I work on Saturdays until 6pm): 8/30, 8/31 and the rest the weekends in September I'm gone.

    Let me know what works for everyone!

  • Hi,

    I'm due in February with my first child. Would be interested in the Meetup group or the walking group!
  • Let me know when you guys go! I'm eager to meet some other soon to be moms
  • Ok, how about we meet at Little Man ice cream in LoHi on Friday October 3rd in the early evening? Would that work for everyone?
  • Mmmmmm, ice cream..... That's a yes for me
  • Is it ok with you ladies if I bring along a friend of mine who just gave birth a couple of months ago?
  • We live in the downtown Denver area and just had our first baby in August! It would be great to meet other new moms & moms to be!
  • Oct. 3 ice cream sounds awesome! I'm in! Also I caved and signed up for the elective 3d ultrasound at 15 wks to find out baby sex. My appt is next week Tues but I'll be at the Westminster office @gdamore11‌
  • Great!!! Let's plan to meet at 6pm on Friday October 3rd at Little Man Ice Cream in the Highlands. Feel free to bring your spouses too. My husband is looking forward to meeting some future/present dads, and who are we kidding...he loves an excuse to eat ice cream before dinner!

    And yes, we would love to meet the parents who now have their little bundles and give us some pointers!

    @blueroad‌ that's so funny we are going on the same day! We're going to the greenwood village office though. Bring your photos so I can see them!

  • I love this idea of a meet up group - my husband and I are also first time parents (due in July) but don't have many friends with babies and would like to meet some fellow parents! (Omg! We're parents!)

    We live in south Denver, in the DU area.

    Please let me know if you would like to get together or if there are any other plans to meet up!

    Best,
    Ellyn
