Babes Age: 8 weeks
I admit it.
For a while, my only friends lived on Facebook.
After Husby and I moved out to the burbs we wanted to make friends, but it just didn’t make sense. We were 4 months pregnant and we knew that soon we’d be making friends with other parents, so we decided to wait.
And wait we did.
There were plenty of dinners with parents, date nights, and overnight visitors. More dinners with parents. More date nights. More overnight visitors. You get the picture.
Well the wait is over.
Two weeks ago, Babes and I began going to a Mommy & Me group. We’ve already made friends. It’s fabulous. And guess what?
We have our first playdate this morning!
The only snag occurred while exchanging information.
While passing out celling phone numbers, the quiet sound of texting was quickly replaced with the anxious cries of infants demanding their afternoon bottles. Later, we tried exchanging the rest of our vitals - home phone, email, twitter ID, blog, facebook name - but with all the ways to communicate these days, it was just too much info to cram into a single text message.
Welcome to the world of making friends with mommy, multi-tasker extraordinaire.
Mommy doesn’t have time to text message. Mommy barely has time to brush her hair, let alone her teeth. And when making friends, mommy passes out calling cards instead of wasting time entering information into a cell phone she never uses.

Maybe I should sign her up for kindermusik, infant yoga, little gym...hmmm...I’m predicting lots of dinner parties with babies in our future.
