This is so weird, you guys definitely should be on baby center of something.

yaaaay

Peanut here - I just confirmed that our out of town guests for the weekend will be out by Sunday so I'm free Monday! woohoo! See you ladies Memorial Day!

...it's the moms-to-be from the October due date threads. If you're a mom/mom-to-be due this coming October, please join our thread....otherwise, I'd venture to say the meet-n-greet is just for those who have been chatting on the thread since February or so....

maybe there should be another DCUMer meet up organized another way

Hilarious!!!!!!

HI, I'm not the spokesperson or anything but I'd be cool with meeting up with anyone! That said, I'm sure it will be primarily moms due in Oct, but hey, why not?

I would love to join but out of town; please get together again sometime and announce it!

I am a June 29 due date. Can I join?

LOL! I was kidding about the name tags, but the October Moms table is a great idea.

I can get there early and reserve an "October Moms" table, and you can ask there?

Does anyone have spare name tags to bring? I can try to get some if not, but I don't live near an office supply store (and the regular address labels at work don't stick to shirts!)

Pumpkin here, I am a yes for either time. Location works well for me; I'm in Brookland so not very far. I can also travel anywhere if there are others who can't make that work.

Funny thought: how will we recognize one another? I feel like I'm going to be looking at random women and scrutinizing their stomaches for potential bumps. "Hello....um.....NOT that you look pregnant or anything, but are you from the expecting moms group?" WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG here?!? On second thought, whoever gets there first should tell the staff that we're all in a group together. Either that or we can wear name tags with our screen names, of course. LOL

I'm psyched to meet many of you in person. Wavy, I think we'll definitely do it again, but sorry you can't make this one.

I'm in - anyplace works. I tried Le Diplomat, but they won't be open then on Monday.

LPQ might work just fine - I live nearby and can try to snag a spot a few minutes earlier if you all want?

any time works - I'll be avoiding my MIL

i'm so jealous i won't be able to make it! we are away then . . . but i want to catch the next meet-up, please!

Wavy

So excited I apparently needed to sign off twice... ;^)

We've been discussing a get-together for a while now, and I thought a separate thread might help finalize things. It seems like the plan that will work for most people so far is brunch on Memorial Day at Le Pain Quotidien in Dupont Circle. I'm on the lookout for other options, only to find a place that might let us make a reservation so we can all sit together and chat (I love LPQ, and they definitely have a good assortment of healthy and less so food).

So, what would be helpful is the following:

Will you attend, yes/no (or maybe, as you may not know at this point)?
What time would work best?
Any restaurant recommendations that would take reservations?

I'll go first: yes, I'm in; any time around 10-11 or thereabouts is good for me; no more ideas yet but I'm on the lookout! Any place in DC works well for me, though I'm also glad to travel to one of the various 'burbs if that's what most folks want (will be coming from Silver Spring).

Hope to meet lots of you soon!
