Remember to be nice to new moms

I'm not preaching or anything but I remember all too well what it was like to be a new mom. It was very tiring and lonely. I saw a mom in the park today with a 7 week old and she was very happy to smile and say hello as I was walking past her. I said hello, asked her about her baby, how old, yada yada, introduced myself and then went on my way. I now feel really bad that I didn't slow down to walk with her. I was on a mission. I gained atleast 5 pounds on vacation and needed to keep movin'. But I should have stopped because that's all I wanted when W was that age-a 5 minute chat with another mom.
