They may be all different Kristy. In our area there's MOPS and MOMS Club and when I tried to decide which to join I just didn't like that I was required to leave my kids in the kids area and attend the activities for the moms in a separate room while my kids are in sort of a daycare arrangement (with the MOPS group). My kids are pretty attached to me and that's okay. They're only little for so long!
MOMS Club and especially La Leche League turned out to be more my style where the kids are welcome at all meetings and things are more flexible.

So the little group things are fun. The soccer was our first 'real' regular activity though (rather than just outings, etc.) and that was very cool. If Duncan wants to play again in the fall I'll volunteer to coach (there always seems to be a shortage on volunteers and our team's coach's kids are moving up into the next age group so he won't be available).

I already found a great swimsuit (not easy in my size) and a water sling for the baby so I am pretty excited and ready to go!
