We're moving to NYC (technically Brooklyn) at the end of August. All being well, our new baby will arrive in February 2013 and we already have a DD, who'll be 2 in a week. I won't be working whilst we're out there, but am hoping to do some volunteer work in order to apply for jobs when we return (career change).
We have medical insurance and a recommended obstetrician so that side of things is covered.
However I was wondering if anyone had any advice/recommendations regarding meeting mums (of toddlers and mums-to-be).. Realise it's quite hard until I know exactly where in Brooklyn we're going to be, but anything (websites, phone numbers etc) would be appreciated... Somewhere we can go to make friends and find out about local events would be great. Don't need an NCT type of thing since we did that with DD but would happily go to one if it's the best way to make friends.
Also, any advice on classes? Think we've probably left it a bit late to register DD for September now, but something for January would be lovely. She adores swimming and her Gymboree classes here.
Alternatively, if anyone lives in Brooklyn and wants a new friend, I'd like to think I'd be a good choice ;)
