Next Saturday Meeting: 3/2/13
BWI of Atlanta's next Saturday meeting is this Saturday, March 2nd, from 10 am to 12 pm at the Solarium!
We've gotten some questions and comments previously about not being able to stay for the full two hours. I wanted to reassure everyone that there has never been a time requirement for the meetings. The leaders are there for two full hours (and sometimes not even, since one of us has a conflict on Mondays or Saturdays) but everyone else is welcome to stay for as long as they are able, whether it's 15 minutes or 2 hours and then some. We'll be here to help, no matter what!

Next meeting: Monday, 1/21/13
Is it that time again? It is! BWI of Atlanta's next meeting will be Monday, January 21st from 10-12 at New Baby Products on Cheshire Bridge Road. We'll see you there!
In other news, we have been officially announced by BWI as BWI of Atlanta! We've been waiting for this for a long, long time and we're so excited finally to be under the BWI umbrella. This gives us more access to carriers for our lending library, and more promo for us as a group. Soon we'll be changing our names, officially, from Atlanta Babywearers to Babywearing International of Atlanta. We'll even have a shiny new logo to put on the blog.
Becoming BWI of Atlanta also allows other babywearing groups in the area to come shelter under our eaves, since the bulk of the work has already been done by us truly. So it's very possible that in the years to come, we'll have a BWI of Cobb County, or a BWI of Gwinnett. The more the merrier, I say!

New Baby Products...
Just this week we met with New Baby Products on Cheshire Bridge road to explore hosting our Tuesday meetings in their space. We found out they just finished building a classroom in their space and they are looking for activities to fill it. The classroom is housed in their big furniture building which is the lefthand building when facing their property from Cheshire Bridge Road. It is a wonderful space for us and a step up from Glenlake Park where we were somewhat exposed to the elements. While Glenlake was awesome to use with the playground right next to us, we are thrilled to move to an indoor space that is dry, warm or cool during the summer and free for our non-profit group!
Our first meeting there will be held on Tuesday December 18th from 10-12. We have not locked down future dates there as of yet but are working to get this squared away and will keep you posted! We will continue to offer our during the week class at New Baby Products but most likely will change days of the week.
So, come one out to check us out next week and we look very forward to seeing everyone there!!! Find out more about New Baby Products at http://www.newbabyproducts.net/.

Babywearing International!!!
It's official! We are now a full chapter of Babywearing International! We will change our name to Babywearing International of Atlanta. We are the very first chapter in the state of Georgia and we couldn't be happier!
It took us almost a year to complete the application but we finally got it! All of our co-leaders have been certified Babywearing Educators since about April but it took us a very long time to navigate our state system and secure a bank account. Each state has different requirements and ours seems to have a particularly difficult path but we finally were able to work our way through it with a little help from Babywearing International's President. Huge Thank You to Anne Marie Rodgerson!!!

Next meeting: 10/16/12
We've had so many meetups in the last week for International Babywearing Week that it feels like the Tuesday meeting is happening too soon (at least to me), but the calendar doesn't lie. Our next meeting is tomorrow, October 16th, at Glenlake Park from 10-12. I will be there, of course, with our raffle prizes, just waiting for our winners to show up!
Despite the craziness that was jam-packed into last week, I did enjoy IBW. I got to know some of our attendees a bit better outside the confines of teaching and it was great to socialize with other moms. We have some photos posted at the Facebook page; I'll see if I can get permission to post them here as well!
November's going to be a big month for Atlanta Babywearers, hopefully soon to be BWI of Atlanta (can I just say that dealing with banks is a huge hassle in Georgia?). Firstly, we're crossing our fingers that we can finalize the last thing in the application and get that stuff all straightened out. Secondly, Aisling is due in November and will be taking the month off. Given how beautiful her girls are already, I can't wait to see what her next child looks like! And of course to see what wraps she picks out. A wrap geek's gotta have priorities.
