First Post-Partum Luncheon
We went to our first post-partum luncheon at the hospital yesterday. It was so nice this time, to not be an emotional wreck like I was when I went with Parker. My playgroup has graciously offered to have playgroups on Tuesdays for a while so that I can bring Parker by and have him there while Kira and I go to this (we can go until she's 16 weeks old) and then go and pick him up or continue to play afterwards like a regular playgroup. I think he'll really love that, and it makes life easier for my husband, who was really pushing it to ask for a three hour lunch each Tuesday!!
When I went with Parker, it was almost all boys; this time, it is almost all girls!! How ironic, hunh?? There were also a lot of second time moms there too, which was a nice thing to see (last time, there was one repeat mom there). One of the nice things about the luncheon (besides the free lunch, free lactation consultant, and free coraderie of moms withnew babies as well) is that we get to weigh our babies there. Kira weighed in, at 4 weeks old, at 10 lbs. 8 oz.!! Up 1 lb 2 oz over two weeks ago!! My chunky monkey! She's surpassed Parker!!
