Babies bring people together

I am realizing more and more that babies bring people together. I feel that my mom and I have bonded and are a lot closer than we were before since the baby has arrived. And I am suddenly in contact with friends from high school whom I haven't spoken to in years. Now there are three friends who I have been going back in forth with over e-mail. It's really nice. Everyone is really excited about the baby. And they can't believe I am a mom. I STILL can't believe it to be honest. I feel like I woke up one day and I was married with a baby! Everyone has just been so great; it's awesome. I need something to keep me going; this little guy is in the beginning stages of teething I think. Some people say it seems early (he's 3 months), but he is showing many of the signs. He grabs everything and puts it in his mouth. Last night he was yamming on a frozen towel; it was so cute. He has been pretty fussy at night too. He wasn't hungry or wet, just frustrated. He has been drooling a river lately; he can wet up a whole bib in no time at all! I thought I had more time before the teething began but obviously this guy is an early developer. He also has big feet and is "big" for his age. People keep telling me "he's big". I really can't tell because I haven't been around babies that much so I don't notice his size. He must be about 12 pounds now; he has a doctor's appointment friday so we will see how much this little monster has put on in a month! He definitely has a hearty appetite. I joke around with my mother and say that he is going to be big and tall like my brother. She said "not fat though". Yeah yeah, I just mean broad and tall then. Being a mommy kind of rocks... And I am enjoying meeting other mommies and having people smile at me and the young babe on the street and in the subway. What doesn't rock is the subway commute. It's okay but I just wish his daycare was like right next door to my job instead of 2 subways stops or a 25 minute walk! But people are really nice and they usually give me a seat once they see I have a baby strapped to my chest. I use the Moby Wrap and LOVE it! I am such a babywearer. I haven't put him in the stroller once. He has been in the stroller though with the childcare provider. They go to the park when it's nice out, i.e. 40 degrees or more and clear. Okay let me get back to work...
