I had a date planned with a new twin mom friend today to go to Target together. Sadly, her babes have a cold so she had to cancel.
I'm irrationally excited to have made an IRL mom friend with babies the same age. I really hope we can become good friends. It's so hard to makes friends at my age!

I totally get this. We have no friends that have kids the same age as Paige and Nora. Anytime I want to go to target or the children's museum, I think how nice it must be for people who have friends with kids the same age. Plus, during the winter here I just feel stuck inside all day long, especially when DH works weird hours.

Yes!! All of my girlfriends either live 45 minutes away or have older kids. My moms of Multiples group has been a godsend for IRL support.
MH works weird hours too! That's a whole other challenge.

requiressnacks my DH is finally on a 4am-2:30pm shift, but for so long we were doing overnights and middle shifts. Plus he works Sunday's- boo to the world of TV and it being 24/7.
I need to find a moms group but with going back to work on Monday, I'm barely ever home before 6:30.
I have no idea how to make mom friends. Hoping maybe at daycare or infant story time at the library?
Those are great places if you are super outgoing. I had good luck finding mom's groups with Meetup or you could ask for recommendations for mom's groups on Facebook.
I want new friends especially since all my IRL BFF's live 8 hours away, but I have like social anxiety about doing anything with them. Lol. DS1 will make friends with anybody. He had a couple at swim class. One mom and I wanted to get together for the park, but we neither of us made plans. He has a little friend who played fall soccer with him and goes to the same school but is in the other Pre-K class. His mom had a baby boy 5 days after me and she's pretty cool. The little boy will go to a different school for K though. They live 5 minutes from us so we plan to meet at the park with the kiddos once it's nicer out.

Has anybody ever gone to a breastfeeding support group? They have one on Thursday mornings at the hospital I had all my boys at, but I can't picture going with DS2 AND baby. Andplusalso, I'm not sure who "runs" it because there was one LC at the hospital I liked, one who was crazy and I'm not sitting there for an hour with her and one who just wasn't helpful and didn't seem that friendly.

I'll look into Meetup! I live in kind of a Stepford Wife community and most of the moms in the Facebook groups are scary or super judgey SAHMs who think having a job is harming your child.

I think Hazel has been more places than me this year!
I think my sister is worried about me not going out. Yesterday she threw out all these different places we could go to. I agreed to the library and lunch out tomorrow.

Omg such cute babies, everyone!!
My first boyfriend (from high school) and his wife just had their baby yesterday!! I'm so excited for them and I'm having all these crazy "I miss being pregnant" feelings now. Stop it, hormones. Stop it right now.
Yesterday I managed to brush 3/4 cats and cut their nails and get ALL of them their medicine. It's so nice to be able to take care of all my boys again. The cats were starting to look scraggly after a month of neglect lol

I feel like getting out makes me feel normal again. Hopefully you have fun!

@cahistoryteacher omg what an adorable pose!! She needs her fainting couch!
crimpgirl I love his little leggies!! Honestly, I am impressed too! I really need to keep up with their grooming since H is allergic to them. He's been suffering (in silence, thankfully--I feel awful saying that) since November when I couldn't chase them down any longer for their weekly grooming lol

I had a completely sappy moment at 4am the other night when I was wide awake all irritated because Cora was asleep on me and I knew if I put her down she'd be awake right away. It hit me that I really only have a little time left of this, and that she's the last baby that I'll get to snuggle for hours on end and be completely selfish about sharing. Sure there will be friends babies and (hopefully someday far faaaar in the future) grand babies, but she's MY last baby to insist on being held in the middle of the night. And this baby thing is such a tiny blip of time. It feels so overwhelming and like it will never end and you'll never get anything done alone again when you're in it, but then all of a sudden it's over, and you get to poop without an audience again. Instead of squishy baby snuggles, they're big kids who don't need you anymore (except for food and the occasional ride to wherever).
Totally sappy, but it had never hit me like that before.
