[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When does one join PACE? -Fellow expectant FTM who is only 3 months along[/quote] The babies in my PACE group ranged from 5 weeks to 9 weeks old when we started. It was the best thing I ever did. It’s been almost 16 years and several of us still get together for dinner from time to time and a couple of us are really close. [/quote] My older daughter is 11 and I’m still in touch with some PACE friends - I’d be in touch with more if we hadn’t left DC. I joined when she was about 3 months old because I didn’t know about it sooner and she was the oldest in the group but it was still worth it. (I think they have some discounts for hardship.) When I was pregnant and home with my newborn I’d approach pretty much anyone out walking a baby, in our local grocery store etc and say I was starting an email list for exchanging advice, babysitter info, forming play groups etc. I met a really good friend the day I came home from the hospital - she was out doing laps in the park trying to get her baby to come (he was born a few days later) and I was enjoying the nice fall air and we just talked in the park. It can be a lonely time transitioning to parenthood and being out of the regular routines I found a lot of women were receptive to meeting up for a walk or a coffee etc and then if I saw them enough they became friends.
