Anyone in the Colorado Springs area?
I've been here a little over a year and am expecting our first child (it's a girl!) but I don't really have any friends that are new or expecting moms. There are groups for playdates once the kid is born, but I haven't found a way to connect pre-birth with anyone. Since I don't work out of the house that makes it harder to meet people too. DH and I are in our late 20's and are fairly active & like getting out in the mountains to play (although I haven't done much since getting pregnant since my doc doesn't want me over 7,000 feet). Anyone in the area want to try to connect?

Re: Anyone in the Colorado Springs area?
Hi! I just moved to the Springs in late July and haven't had a chance to meet people/make friends. I am such a social person that it's driving me crazy. We also love the outdoors and would love to connect with people. I'll pm you my info.

Hi Veggiegirl,
I'm in the Springs also. I've been here about a year and a half. I've never really used the message boards, so I'm not sure what I'm doing, but hopefully you'll see this message! I'm 20 weeks- we find out in a few days if it's a boy or girl (our first). Is it normal to not want pregnant moms here to go over 7000 feet? We were going to take a drive in the mountains today
Hi luvjc82! Exciting you get to find out this week what you're having. It was a huge relief for me to find out what we were having...no more guesses and time to start thinking of names!
Did you go for the drive into the mountains? I've been back & forth to Denver a few times, and I've hiked a little bit above 7,000, but I've tried to stay below. The biggest thing my doc was worried about is getting light-headed, dizzy, and/or nauseous being too high. I've talked to one woman who said she ignored that & was up at altitude a lot while she was pregnant, but she ended up delivering prematurely in both of her pregnancies and I have a feeling all that lack of oxygen had at least a little bit to do with it.
Hey veggiegirl,
We found out we are also having a girl. We had a feeling it was a boy (not sure why) so we were surprised. We're excited though. Names are definitely hard!! Have you guys chosen one? My husband really likes one but I'm not so sure yet. Anyway, we did drive in the mountains around 10,000 feet. My chest was kind of tight so we didn't stay up there too long but enjoyed the fall colors. My doctor said it was okay to go up to that altitude when I asked yesterday, but I won't if it makes me feel not great. Hope you're having a good week.
Hi Cbradney! I'm also in my late 20's and expecting in February 2012.. What part of the Springs are you in? I'm on the west side.

Hi,
We're due our first baby in November, not finding out if it's a girl or a boy! We've been here about a year and a half and I am also trying to find some kind of mommy group, have tried Meet Up but they're not very good at replying?! I'm North-side but up for any meet-ups that we might arrange!?

Hii, My name is Courtney. My husband and I are in our early 20's.
We have a 16 months old little girl, named Cecelia.
We are expecting a little boy December 28th.
I've lived in the Springs the majority of my life and my husband's been here his whole life...
We're not any fun though.
Parents to:
Hi! My name is Sarah. My husband and I moved here last year but have been so busy with work and living with his parents that we really haven't met a lot of people down here. We are now out of the basement (yes!) and just got a positive, though faint, line on a pregnancy test. I was hoping to connect with other mothers to be down here.
And Courtney, we are just miserable to hang out with too.
