There were seven babies here today! Our first play date went wonderfully. There were eight couples in our Bradley Birthing Class and seven of the moms and babies were able to make it today. Also, it's a beautiful, sunny day and not 100 degrees so it's the good side of Texas weather. We've made it to the other side of summer.
Some moms had to leave early but we got pictures of five of the babies sitting up together on the couch. So adorable. They're all so cute. There are three boys, including Sebastian, and five girls, including Kate who wasn't here today. We're hoping to meet every two weeks so I think it's going to be great. I'm glad my cousin Laura told me to reach out to other moms at the beginning.
Sebastian looks long (or is it tall) compared to the other babies. I think he also has the pouffiest hair! The youngest of them is two months old today. I think all but one were born in July.
We had a very busy weekend, with a baby shower on Saturday thrown by Georgia, Collene, and Sherry, and a going-away party for Harriet Saturday evening. Sebastian was fussy at the beginning of the shower, uncharacteristically so, but he settled down after he ate. Then everyone got to hold him and he was smiley.
Today he seems recovered from whatever he was going through for a few days. For about four days he was sort of languid and less perky than usual. Today he seems back to his old self.
I think the more of a pattern there is to our lives, with meetings like the play group and starting writing group again, the better it will be for us. I'm learning to love routine. I lived by a regular routine in Vermont last year and felt very fit in every way. I think it agrees with me.
Next Friday William's niece Destiny comes for a visit, which will be nice. With three younger brothers, she probably knows more about babies than I do! We'll have fun.
