Play Date!

Emily hosted her first play date last Thursday!  Our friends from church, Laura and her twin girls, Annika and Brooklyn and Marsha and her daughter, Greta came for a fun visit.  The twins and Greta were born (on the same day!) a week before Emily. It was so nice to have friends going through the same things at the same time when we were all pregnant. Its even nicer to have the girls going through the same feeding/sleeping/growing things at the same time. This is Marsha's 3rd girl and Laura has another daughter too so I consider them old pro's since this is my rookie year.  The most helpful thing has been texting with Marsha in the middle of the night checking in on the girls as we were up nursing. She's basically the only friend I have with a newborn that's nursing too.  I really appreciate all of the advice and tips that my seasoned mommy friends have thrown my way and how they don't hesitate to help me out when i have a question.  And I realized that you shouldn't compare babies to each other but I'm always interested to see how everyone is doing and maybe trying out some of their methods.


So although 3 month old babies don't exactly "play" with each other, the mommies had fun talking and sharing.  I didn't get a picture of them all together but snapped these of Emily before they arrived!

We're headed to Marsha and Greta's house this afternoon again so maybe I will remember to get a pictures of the girls together!
