How do I know? Well, by the baby boom that has been going on around me. I know a lot of people that have been having babies, and I know people who know people who are having babies. Of the people I know personally, I was the first to kick things off in February. Since then, I would bet I could easily list at least 10-15 people who have given birth since then and several more who are still expecting.
One of my circle of friends is women who all met at work. Not everyone still works there, but we still get together for lunch as often as we can. Of the seven of us, five - yes, five! - added children to our families between February and May. Sounded like something that needed a celebration to me.
So last Saturday we got together at my house with the new babies and adjacent kids. There were seven adults, six kids between the ages of 2 and 5, and five babies 5 months and younger. And there were four kids missing of the moms who were here.

There was oogling galore!

I was hoping it could just be some relaxing time to all be together. So I ordered food in and we just hung out. It was so nice.

There were car seats every where!
Emily and Ethan were just hanging out with each other.

The Babies:
Emily (4.5m), Brynn (3.5m), Sofia (3m), Ethan (2.5m), Kayla (1m)
The kids played along very well too. There were no injuries, fighting or even crying. It was a good day.
And there were also a lot of dirty feet...
I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful women to share mommyhood with. They are all life savers!!
