Today I met a mama for a playdate. We had both joined a meetup group at about the same time, and I saw by her profile that her son was about the same age as Beanie. Her profile seemed cool enough, so I contacted her directly to see if she would like to meetup. Today we met at this old mall that has only a few stores and art space. It's a good place for walkers. It's a bit weird to be in a mostly empty mall. Freaky you might say.
As we were taking the kids' coats off, we find out that her son and Beanie were born on the same day. He was late, and we kicked Beanie out early. But, the same day. Freaky.
As we walked and talked, I found out that she lost her twin boys at 20 weeks due to twin-to-twin transfusion. What a chance meeting. And sometimes loss is... everywhere.
We talked easily and comfortably. This is the first time I have connected with a person IRL for some time. I am not sure we left anything to talk about at our meetup next week. Nothing was uncomfortable or forced.
We FaceBook friended each other to more easily plan playdates. On her profile: her birthday is the same day as mine. Super Freaky.
Her son and Bea were really cute together. He's already walking. Poor little Bea. Those three gestational weeks..... well, I know that's not really true and that kids develop at their own pace blah blah blah.
I just hope she doesn't turn out to be a psychopath! No, I'm sure she's fine....
Triple S asked me when her husband's birthday was....
