Yesterday, we had a couple and baby  from our labour prep class over for dinner. The husband works at the same place as my husband (though not in the same department), so it was neat to run into them in the classes and find out that they were having a baby at the same time as us (their little girl ended up being born a month before Baby Boy).

We weren’t sure how the dinner was going to go, since we don’t really know this couple very well, and also didn’t know how the babies would hold up over the course of the evening, but things couldn’t have gone better! The babies were surprisingly well behaved, and spent most of the time sitting side by side in their bouncey chairs, ignoring each other, while the adults were able to have  a nice civilized dinner very much like what we would have had pre babies. So win-win! Hopefully we’ll have other opportunities to get together in the future.

On another topic, I’ve been thinking more about where I want to go with this blog. I feel like this blog has been quite bleh to date, so I am going to try to inject some life into it. After reading other (way more awesome!) new mom blogs over the last few weeks, I’ve decided to take some steps to spice things up.

The first step is a new blog design. When I set this blog up, I used the same theme as my old blog, and while I am very happy with how the old blog looked, it took some time to get it to that point. I really hadn’t spent much time customizing the design of this blog, and when I looked at it the other day it just looked too plain and boring, so I’m playing around with a new theme. I think it will still take some trial and error to get the right feel, but already the change feels invigorating.

The other decision I’ve made is to start posting pictures of Baby Boy, as I realized that one of the best things about new mom blogs are the cute pictures of the babies! So stay tuned for some more interesting content in the future.
