I have been trying to set up a day where all the ladies from our pre-natal class can get together… but it doesn’t seem to be working. You know when you keep trying to get a hold of someone and you just can’t seem to…. so you start to think to yourself… maybe they just don’t want to get together? Well that is the way that I am starting to feel. I have thrown suggestions out there about lunch, going for a walk, a movie… but we still have not come up with anything. I sent out a email to all the ladies and one answered me back with just a picture of her baby… no comment or answer to the question of getting together. Either a) she is stupid… or b) she really doesn’t want to get together in the first place.
So fine… I have now come to the conclusion that no one wants to and I have now given up! No more emails, no more suggestions, no more trying to be nice and make friends with women who I thought would like to hang out with other women who are new mommies too.
Boo!
Since I skipped the prenatal classes, I’ve had to make an effort to meet some other mommies. It’s not as easy as it may appear to be. We started Itsy Bitsy Yoga classes and so far, so good, but all the parents are so involved with their babies (and I think a lot of us are just shy) so it’s been hard to get conversation to flow before and after class.
*Sigh* I want to hang with some new mommies.

I want to hang with other new mommies too!!
Actually the “baby and me” group that Lukas and I have been going to is a great way for us to meet some new mommies and babies. We just went out for coffee on Monday with a few of them. I just thought that the ladies from my pre-natal class would like to meet up again and it really sucks that they do not seem to want to
I hate that about your classmates. We had such high hopes for meeting fun couples in our class, but it wasn’t really as social as we hoped. We didn’t end up really talking to anyone. I am glad that you have a baby and me group. I think connecting with other new moms in person is a great idea for both mom and baby.
Maybe they are all shy, or just not as cool as you are.
