It's been awhile since I've seen my NCT baby mamas as we all have been having babies for the last month or so. Luckily, Elis sent out an email last week asking if we should all try and get together while the weather was nice and suggested a picnic in Holland or Hyde Park. As we all have new babies and are not very experienced public breastfeeders, I offered our Square's Garden as a possible venue as there is restricted access and my flat was right there in case of emergency...well, a diaper or bathroom related emergency.
So on Wednesday, the 25th, all the girls came over around 1:00 pm, with their own packed lunches, and hung out in Nevern Square Garden in the sunny, almost 80 degree weather! There was 8 moms, 8 babies, 2 grandmas and one pregnant mama (poor Chiara wasn't due until today).
It was really fun and helpful swapping war stories from our first few weeks of being moms. It made you feel surprisingly better about the whole experience and that you weren't the only one struggling with certain things.
The babies were all super cute! We had Mom Elis with little Annabelle, Mom Thea and little Sammi, Mom Karina and baby Jasper, Mom Daria and baby Alexandra, Mom Kirsty and little Octavia, Mom Gelareh and teeny Soufi and Mom Tannaz with baby Gabriel. Juliette was amazing! She slept on my blanket for most of the time - only waking for a little snack twice. The girls all stayed until about 4 pm.
Thea got a great video of the day. We were quite the spectacle with all the teeny babies!
