i'm a cyber mom

It all started when I was planning my wedding. I found a really cool online community that was full of brides planning their weddings. Not only was it a plethora of fascinating information, it was also a place I would go to entertain myself by following the lives and times of all my newfound cyber friends.

Well, after you got married, the site automatically pushed you over to another site where all the 'marrieds' would hang out and chat. Stemming from the 'marrieds' community, there was a pregnancy community. After pregnancy came the babies community. I visit on a daily basis and it's full of mothers from around the country. I have become friends with a lot of these moms even though I've never met them or even talked to them in person - up until a few weeks ago.

I found one mom that is my age and she lives in Burnsville and we met up for lunch a few weeks back. She has a little girl named Erin (she's a doll!) who is about 3.5 months older than Meredith. I've attached a couple pictures of the girls during our lunch date (ironically, I ran into Jenny and Dick Berquam during lunch that day but that's a whole different story!). It was a lot of fun and a big milestone for me. My first cyber hookup! I can't wait for another playdate.

I've learned pretty much everything one could ever want to know about pregnancy/babies/baby products/parenting from my cyber friends. That statement sounds a little scary but I think I'm a better mom because of it. My knowledge is never ending.
