I feel really lucky that several of my irl friends did their adoptions around the same time as us. 3 of them were unable to get pregnant, and we were all waiting at the same time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537859 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:04:22 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 537859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! i met a ton of friends online while we were in process for our first adoption. i've met up with several of them that live near my in-laws and became close friends with another local blog buddy! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537840 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:55:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 537840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537792 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:30:10 +0000 Honeybee 537792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I'll take it!</p> <p>We also got some serious interest in our house today.

We spent 4 long years as internet friends before finally meeting, but we were destined to be irl bffs frim the start.</p> <p>Now that I've had such a great experience I would totally meet another HB friend irl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537734 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:58:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 537734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I kinda fell for @Honeybee: before either of us were even married. I knew she was a keeper, but IRL cemented it!</p> <p>I'm sure that if I happened to be in the same area as other Bees that I could find some other fabulous friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537724 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:52:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 537724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: and I have a little something going on, but I want more IRL HB friends.<br /> Applications are being accepted.</p> <p>@Honeybee: @Mrs. Jacks: Totally jealous of your relationship! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537718 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:47:55 +0000 Running Elley 537718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't met them in person but there are some mamas from first wb and now here that I'm close to! I text/talk on a pretty regular basis to @turtledoves, @princessbaby and @babyjmama. I wish I could meet them and some other ladies that I know from the wb days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537717 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:47:49 +0000 MsMini 537717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not from any forums, but I joined a local Mom group on facebook and have made some awesome friends. I have yet to meet anyone on forums that is from the small city I am from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537715 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:46:47 +0000 Honeybee 537715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: lol! Well hopefully the girls will rub off on each other! I couldn't believe when Lala started discussing consonant sounds and her letter recognition is incredible for her age. That girl is going to be reading very soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537711 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:44:03 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 537711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: can I just say your daughter is amazing! She's the whole package! Mr jacks was so impressed with her motor skills, independence and level of conversation between the girls! We hope that Lala will catch up with the physical skills at some point :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537698 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:40:13 +0000 Honeybee 537698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Best meetup EVER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537673 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:18:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 537673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: maybe ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537641 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:57:24 +0000 mrsjazz 537641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've met friends online before, but not any mommy friends, though I'd like to. Most of my mommy friends don't live in the same state in me so I don't have get-togethers with other moms. I'd like that to change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537640 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:57:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 537640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @Honeybee: I take it you guys met up....lol?</p> <p>I am close with a lot of girls from HB but we only text/talk on facebook and exchange Christmas and birthday gifts. No meeting IRL yet. But soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537639 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:54:32 +0000 Maysprout 537639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I like to stay somewhat under the radar online. There were a couple moms back on WB who I felt close to and we'd check in on each other during pregnancy (pre-HB) but I'm still not comfortable with meeting someone in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537622 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:42:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 537622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: you aren't out of the woods yet!

I'm super shy so it's hard for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537556 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:58:54 +0000 Honeybee 537556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: ahaha my strategy is working! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537551 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:53:46 +0000 jmarionsmith 537551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>are there any specific online communities y'all use to find local moms?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537541 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:44:28 +0000 bpcmarj 537541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I havs a group of awesome Mom friends from HB. We don't really all live nearby, but some of us do and are hoping to get together for a big playdate soon:)</p> <p>I met a good friend on another forum years ago. We both have babies now and I was in her wedding! She actually told me about HB but isn't a frequent poster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537534 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:41:19 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 537534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: do you live in the midwest? I'm in MI...are you close?</p> <p>I haven't met any but I am "friends" with one outside of HB, although we haven't met. @Runningelley is my mama soul-mate </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-first-meet-any-of-your-mom-friends-online#post-537522 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:33:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 537522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I love that you two are friends :) I'm a little jealous though haha</p> <p>Well I am really close to a few mamas who have babies near Cobi's age and we are friends apart from hb. We don't live near each other but that doesn't matter- we check in with each other and it's really awesome.</p> <p>I have a friend I met in high school and we have never met IRL but we are great friends and even had babies within a couple months of each other </p>
