Hi Jennifer,
Welcome! Where are you coming from? I got here this fall and and have found several useful things. I'll list them below.
That said, I'd love to meet for a mom's night out or for some art fun sometime if you are interested. I have 34 mo. old b/g twins.
Best,
Kristin
For meeting other moms:
The City of Cambridge has playgroups;
Isis Maternity has great groups for moms and kids and just moms/dads;
Together in motion has fun "gym" classes for kids, they also have Music Together classes
The new main library is a great resource near you. They also have story time and mom's book club.
There is a yahoo group called cambridgefamilies; somervillemoms is another good one.
Other perhaps useful tidbits:
Agaziz Preschool has a great list of Cambridge parks, with descriptions;
Speaking of preschools, you might want to start checking them out--applications start in October if that is something you plan on doing;
Full Moon is a restaurant in Huron Village that is good for parents and kids alike. They cater to families. Accessible by bus.
You can take the train to a great Audubon farm in Lexington called the Drumlin Farm. It is a short hike from the train station, but it would be doable with a stroller. Maybe for the fall when your wee one to be will be older. Check it out of Googlemaps first.
There is a fantastic playground in the Cambridge Common (Harvard Common?)
