This is all starting to feel so real! My sister has been in a Moms group in her area since she had her first (now on her 3rd) and has really enjoyed it. They go on play dates, have group activities, etc. So I decided to see if there were any in my area since I have no mommy friends nearby other than a sis and a coworker I am not close too. I found several in my area, and checked them all out to see what they were like. I found one that seems great, and have been very welcoming already. They are a lot like you ladies, but local! I am looking forward to getting out with other Moms once Ashur is here and spending time with others going through the same things!
For anyone who is thinking about joining one, I recommend it. It was so easy and I am glad I did it.
Re: Just joined a local Moms group
i found a group thru meetup.com once i quit working after dd and it was great. i still keep in contact with a lot of them
once we get moved again, i plan on joining one in our new neighborhood. it's a good way to find out what's going on for kids, especially if you're brand new to the area like we are
I recently joined the spouses' club here on base, and they have a weekly meet up for those with kids, but it doesn't seem like many people attend. There is a mom's group in town too so I may have to look into joining them.
And my neighbor down the street just had a baby boy a week or 2 ago. I'm kind of shy but I should try to introduce myself since our LO's will be so close in age. I would not even have known she had a baby or was pregnant though because it's only gotten warm out recently and we've all been stuck inside. But her other kids (I think with the baby it makes 5 all together) came into my yard last weekend to pet my dogs and told me that she had a baby.
Yes, I have a blog and it's hilarious (except when it's not)
