Freshman Year

So, I think the brunch was a success. 

At last count, we had 15+ babies, plus most of their Moms and Dads.

I think for the Dads it was a snapshot into "holy schizz, this is my life now" and "oh, thank god other babies spit up too"  and for the Moms it was a great way to introduce some of the new friends and babies who have helped us through the months of maternity leave.

I think I said once that being a new mom is like being a freshman in college.  You all show up knowing no one.  You know your roommate (aka, the baby), and spend the first few weeks asking people to go to the dining hall with you so you don't have to go alone.

If you are shy, like me, you just suck it up.  Even when you tremble with anxiety.  This is your life now.

Along the way, you find some true friends, or ones with true friend potential... and others that are just as nice, but you know you won't stay close when you move out of the dorm in the next year.

I'm moving out of the dorm in three weeks.  Work.  It's coming.

I hope I still have someone to go to the dining hall with.
