How do you make Mommy friends?

Seriously.  None of me or my Dh's friends are married or have kids and we are slowly losing touch with them.  It's really hard to go out with them when our baby's bedtime schedule begins at 7:00pm and all our friends are in the 20s and don't go out until 9:00pm.  The most we can hope for is an afternoon brunch date.  I find myself going to the park with W trying to "pick up" other new moms, and it's been really hard and I feel a bit like a creeper.  I guess I should have posted this on the B&M Monday!  Anyway, anyone else having trouble with this?

    I work with a mom close to my age whose son is just one month older than DS, but she also has 4 stepsons that she almost always has with her. So that makes it a little difficult. Like techgoddess said, all o

    Our hospital sponsors a parenting group with babies with similar birthdates. Perhaps yours offers something similar? Ours is twice a month only and each meeting we have a milestone topic and socialize.

    I've also joined a music class with her

    I think going to the classes is a great idea, but I think you have to also kind of put yourself out there and trade phone numbers and/or make a definite plan to have coffee, plan a playdate whatever, too.  At the classes I've been to, people are n
