One of my best girlfriends just dropped a latte by my house. Our LO#1 are just 2wks apart, LO#2s are 6mo apart, and LO#3s will be 9mo apart. She knew we were up at all hours cleaning up from the stomach flu.
FTM, keep an eye out for ways to make mom-friends (mom/baby groups, MOPS, etc). I know these women always have my back.
Re: Mom friends ROCK!
Mine all live 6hrs away... and they are now on their 3rd pregnancies. So I've been lucky to have one 30minute phone chat so far with one of my friends! Which was actually really great! Wish I knew more local young mom's or mom's to be.
Any of my close friends with babies live far far away but as soon as my pregnancy is completely public I'm going to join a local mom meetup group that I've been checking out online. I'm really excited to make mom friends!
My two girls Flower and Ayla Faye
There are several great places to check out groups online that meet in your area. Our local hospital has a Mom and Baby group. There's also MOMS Clubs (Moms Offering Moms Support) and MOPS groups (Mothers of Preschoolers).
I know our MOPS group welcomes pregnant women and the ladies are amazing. After DD2, I had meals lined up every other day for 4wks. I actually met my best mom friends, not in a "Moms" group, but a women's community service organization. Get 100 women together and someone's always pregnant.
