Spring babies club (due Mar, Apr, May 2013)

[MM22]

Hi ladies,

Happy New Year! It really would be lovely to meet up sometime soon, but unfortunately the days/ times/ locations just haven't worked for us!!

As much as I would like to meet all the lovely mommies on this thread - I'd be especially keen to meet second/third... time parents - so the older kids can have a play as well (I have a 2 year old boy and a 3 1/2 year old girl who goes to Heber nursery in the mornings)

Also keen to hear how your going to cope and if you thought of having any help (currently looking for a mothers helper/ part time nanny for when number 3 arrives!) Or if anyone would be interested in a nanny-share for the older ones??

So would anyone be around to meet up during weekday mornings between 9 & 11.30ish? (working around school pick ups / nap times)

If not - I really will try and make it for one of the next meet ups!

Hi Ariadna,

Now it's the new year I just wondered what is happening with the refresher course? Is it still going to go ahead and will you send out information or booking forms?

Many thanks

Katie

@MM22 - are you around on Friday mornings? I'm working at the moment, but I'm generally free on a Friday with my daughter. My older son is in nursery in the morning.

Hi everyone

I had suggested meeting this Saturday at peckham rye park cafe at 10am for those who can make it. I'm sorry but I can't get there until 11/11.15 now and wanted to check if anyone is around to meet?

Yes, it's in the diary and happy to move to 11am. Looks like a load of people were able to make this one so really looking forward to meeting some of you! Is it the cafe in the middle of the park near the parking lot? Not The Gardens cafe on the road alongside Peckham Rye?

Just checking, are partners welcome too? I think my husband would benefit from meeting with other local dads too :)

Hello ladies

I am due with number 2 on 1st May and would love to meet some other local mums.

I am working up until 26th March so am not around in the daytime till after then.

My son will continue at nursery (Asquith) while i'm on maternity leave but I am also on the look-out for a mothers help for when the baby arrives.

Is there something scheduled?

Hope you are all feeling well - i have terrible back ache already and am fed up of my whole maternity wardrobe!!!

Best wishes

Jennie

Hi Vic

Yes I was thinking of meeting in the cafe on peckham rye park not the gardens one. It can get quite busy in there but will give it a try. My husband can't make it but everyone welcome x

[sdurham]

A shame - unfortunately I can't make it this weekend as it's my mum's birthday. Have fun!

I'm working through to 8 Feb and due 6 March with my first. Would love to meet up on a weekend before then, or during the day after the 8/2 if anyone's keen? Have suddenly started feeling I'm not prepared at all and have so much to do before his/her arrival! ;) x

[Era.Esther]

Sdurham, I would be happy to meet with you after you finifh working.

Would be lovely to meet you all this Saturday at 11am. I am pregnant with my first due 27 March. I have never been in the Peckam Rye Park Cafe, can someone confirm whether this is the location? : https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=peckham+rye+park+cafe&ie=UTF-8&ei=L2ntUILGGaiX0QXH0oCYBQ&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAA

Hi Katie and everyone

the refreshers course for second time parents is going ahead, so if any of you may be interested do contact me via PM or email at [email protected].

The course last 3 weeks and the dates are March 5th,12th and 19th from 8 till 10pm so you can put your little ones in bed before the session starts. Needless to say partners welcome, though sometimes they are the ones baby sitting. The total cost of the course is 105?, and paying in installment is possible if this is more convenient.

During the course i will organise a get together and a final one once the course is over.

I hope some of you find this information helpful, enjoy your pregnancies and speak to you soon!!

You can always check my website for further information and details:

Hi Esther

That is the right place the cafe will be obvious when you get there. It's right next to the car park if you are driving and free to park. I will have to bring my 18 month old so not sure how long she will want to sit in the cafe! But hopefully enough time to have a coffee and chat. We won't know each other so probably good idea to exchange numbers 07790. 892754 Rachel

Hi Esther

That is the right cafe, it's next to the car park and free parking if you are driving. I'm coming with my 18 month old so hopefully will have chance for coffee and a chat, she doesn't sit still for long!
