I went to my first local MoMs club meeting on thursday. It was so nice!! I had discovered them when I was abt 5 months pregnant and never made it to a meeting b/c of the bedrest. I went to their fall garage sale (and got a bangin' deal on a PNP for $20!) in october and by the 2nd week of november I was at home on bedrest.
Well, they were suppose to have a guest speaker about going green, which I was interested in, but they never showed up. So they left the floor open for introductions and questions!! AND they had split up the tables by LO's age, so that was nice too, which was easy to start up conversations w/ others. I got so lucky for my meeting!
My table was the "0 to 9 months" and I was the only one not pregnant, so the 3 chickies were ALL ABOUT asking questions and comparing the things they were looking up to what I'm doing.
:)
It felt soooo weird! I was just blogging abt how I felt like the outsider or that I wasn't going to "fit in" when I saw the MoMs at the spring garage sale, and here I was giving the newbies, like me, advise and tips! Hee hee! They were so cute, looking and listening to me w/ bright eyes and smiles, like I was all-knowing - yet w/ "only" 2.5 months of experience.
I think I'm going to join the club. It really did make me feel like I'd have support when it came to new mommyhood AND the multiples aspect. So, I'm glad I went and plan to be able to again.

I am glad you are gong to join the MoM's group. I joined one in TX and one here inTN and they are priceless. I had other moms to talk to about similar problems, got tons of advice, amd best of all made wonderful friends through it. It's hard to be the new "one" but it will be so worth it. I am proud of you!
