Mom club

My whole life I have had trouble making girl friends. The truth is I can count my really good girl friends on one hand. I am completely okay with this and always open to meeting new people but I never seem to have a lot in common with other women.
I am not your typical woman. I love sports, I love to get dirty, and I would prefer a night camping to a night out of the town. Tomboy...thats pretty much how I was described most of my life...OH and don't forget awkward ;) The fact I am married still blows my mind sometimes!

However now that I am pregnant I am finding I am part of this "mom club". For some reason meeting new friends and talking to people is just happening. It seems completely normal but I can't help but think if maybe this is all I have needed is to find people with one amazing thing in common with me...the fact that we are both becoming moms. Even at work I feel like a whole new group of people talk to me and want to know me and the only change between now and 6 months ago is my growing baby bump.

I am kinda proud of myself through this whole thing because I feel like I am branching out. Maybe it's because I am really hoping to have people to be around that have kids. Maybe I am hoping for play dates. Maybe I am just growing up a little more each day. Everyday is one step closer to the day I have to be a mom. I full on grown up. No matter what I must always stay strong for my son. I am excited, happy, and terrified all at the same time. It really helps to have these new friends around who are understanding to what is going on in my head.
