QOTD: Do you have a lot of friends with babies/kids or will you be one of the first? (Sorry if this is a repeat question, I don't remember ever asking)

Me:  I was definitely one of the first with DS but now there are babies everywhere and I love it!

Re: First in '10 Friday Check In

  • It is a mix with my friends. Some of them have kids but most of them don't.

  • I will be the first of my close friends to have a baby. A few of my good friends are trying so hopefully I will not be the only one expecting soon!

  • I'm late in the game among my group (I'm 34).  I have only two close friends who haven't had kids yet.  The rest have at least one.  It's nice to have a lot of my friends there for advice and support since they've been there before.

  • Out of our close friends that we spend a good deal of time with... we are the very first.  I have a few "facebook friends" that have babies already.  We are also the first out of our co-workers in both of our offices to have children.
  • Most of my girlfriends have one or more kids already or are pregnant now or planning to ttc in the next few month.

    Most of my friends that I consider 'couples friends' (ie, our friends - people DH and I see as a couple) are not yet near kids or just starting.  Not surprising, since we were the first to get married (I'm a year or two older than most of them), and since we tried for nearly a year to get the sticky pregnancy.

    Most of Dh's friends are not there yet.

  • I am actually one of the last out of my friends to have a baby.  I wouldn't have been if it would have worked right away.  Stupid infertility!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  • I'm the first of my college friends and the second of my friends in general.  Some of the college girls are just to the point of getting engaged so I think my pregnancy is really freaking them out.  Don't get me wrong - they're happy for me and all but I can see it getting a bit weird in a few months with some of them.

    QOTD: It seems like a lot of my friends have been having babies lately.  So they will all be pretty young together!

  • I'm the first among our group of friends to get pregnant, but my sisters and brothers in law all have tons of kids.

    EDD: 03/01/13;  DD: 10/26/13

    Mourning the loss of Amarine Stella, born at 21 weeks, 6 days.
    We will always love you, our little angel.

    With DS and DD we were the first. Now, a few of my friends have had babies and my good friend and I are due just 2 weeks apart. It's her first, and it's neat to be able to go through pregnancy with someone and see it through her eyes since it's her first. It makes me appreciate having been through all this before.
  • Our friends are either way ahead of us (5 year olds), or kinda far behind us (not engaged, not married, no plans for kids anytime soon).

    It's kind of a drag, but at least DD and Nugget will be close in age Smile

  • Although I have a handful of friends that are single (i.e. not married or not dating anyone) most of my friends have babies.  Our kid will the youngest in the group.  I like getting the advice and what are the best books to buy though.  It's great!

    QOTD: with one group of friends I wont be the first, with my other I'm definitely the first. And overall I'm still one of the earlier ones.

  • About half of our friends have kids already, the other half aren't even close yet. It will be nice to have friends who know what we are going through.

  • Most of our friends have kids. so we're definitely not the first ones. It's nice having others go before me (and having my sister right there with me). It's nice to talk about experiences.

  • Definitely one of the first.  In my group of friends I was the 2nd to get married and now first to have a baby.

    One of DH's closest friends is expecting in October, so it's nice to know someone else who is pg.  Otherwise the rest of his friends are not even in relationships.

    I expect our interactions with our friends to change drastically when the baby comes.

  • I am one of the last of my friends to have kids. A number of them have children graduating next year and one has a grandchild due about two month before me!

    My best friend however, married a girl 16 years younger than him and they are due a couple weeks before me, so I won't be the only one with a new LO!

  • most of our friends have kids and most are older.   we started later than most :)   however, i joke that it is a good thing since we'll have sitters and all be able to still go out!! :)    first time around i was pg with 2 girlfriends and 3 cousins. this time 3 friends are due around jan.!!!!   so i guess we are mixed, but lots of babies!
  • Out of our friends- we're the first couple to be having a baby but some of the girls from my local board and I have bonded and there is a group of us all expecting around the same time- it's going to be great to have built in mommies to go to for advice and such...

    Yay!  Congrats boys are too fun!Big Smile

  • Yay my first day on 2nd Tri!!!

    We are the first to have babies among our close friends. Most of our friends aren't even married yet.

  • It's kinda funny thinking about it now.  All of my group of friends are considerably older than I am, yet none of them are married or have kids yet.  I am almost 23 and my good friends are between 27 and 31.  They are engaged but I don't think they are even thinking as far ahead as having children.

  • Many of my friends and most of my family already has children.  In DH's family, this will be the 6th baby born within two years. 
  • We were among the first of our friends to have a baby.  BUT, then a I made a bunch of new mommy friends through our hospital postpartum group.

    This morning, we had a big pool party.  About two dozen moms and toddlers, and almost every mom was pregnant or had a newborn!

  • We were one of the first with DD but now everyone is catching up and its a big group of toddlers and babies at every event.  It's nice to have friends who understand what your life is like now;)
