Where Do Working Moms Meet?

Why, at the Pediatrician, of course!

I saw an old friend, a Mom's Group member, Jackie - and daughter Hannah and hubby Josh today. We haven't seen each other in months; though she (and the group) was arguably one of the primary reasons I didn't go completely nuts in the first couple of months of Deven's life.

I'm a member of GGMG, a great, huge network of San Francisco moms - and through that, I joined a Playgroup of other Working Moms with babes born in April '07. I met great moms - one of whom is Jackie, Hannah's mom. (Her husband, Josh, kept a fabulous blog about his time with Hannah for mos 3 - 6 on Paternity Leave - too cute, but Hannah's grown SO much, wow).
I learned some fun news - the type you don't get when you haven't seen someone you like in a while: Jackie won't be just Hannah's mom for long - she's due with #2 in August. Congrats, to Jackie, Josh, Hannah, and "bump."

Good news from the visit - we were at Dr. Schwanke's to see whether Deven had beaten the ear infection, and seems he has, even without antibiotics. Supposedly this will make him stronger for the next ear infection - either that, or it'll be even tougher (depending on who you talk to).

In other news, my trip back to MD for the women's lacrosse National Tournament was a success (I'm an umpire and had to be reviewed on-field for my National rating), even though I had to go solo b/c of Deven's ear infection. I was able to renew my rating for 4 years - the longest they allow. Phew!

Thanks, Kate. We didn't quite expect it to happen so fast, but we're thrilled. So good to run into you guys. Deven is adorable and so grown up already! BTW, Hannah didn't have an ear infection this time - she just happens to have ALL 4 molars and 2 canines coming in at once!! Poor puppy.
