Any expectant mums (and dads) want to meet for coffee?

[lucyjessica]

Dear all

Forum seems to have got a bit crazy with 'clubs' for different due dates/months! Have to say I personally am just quite up for meeting for a casual drink with anyone due anytime this year! And given it's my first, I guess it's particularly nice to meet with other first-timers.

I still have Weds 9th June 6.30pm drink at Green & Blue in my diary - but just wanted to check if others are still up for this or if you would prefer to separate into the new due month/season clubs?!

[HOMum]

I am still up for this meet because I am going to be a first time mummy too and it's in the diary! Makes sense to stick to this plan. I have commented on the summer babies thread too, maybe in time we could combine the two? But for now meeting of an evening and without other babies would be more manageable for me with work and less daunting!

[Au'Lait]

I'm on my first too, and this is a good time/day for me. The Autumn club alternative is 10:30 on a Sunday morning when to be honest I plan on being snuggled up having a sleep in with my husband while I still can!

[BAM]

It's still in my diary too xx

Hi, I am also still up for the 9th June, I can't make the other dates suggested in the Autumn babies thread (just realised since I am due on the 20th Sep I guess I would be technically summer babies) Anyway, looking forward to this one next week.

It's also still in my diary and I look forward to it! My due date is 24th Sept although I'm starting to look like it should be tomorrow:-o

[lucyjessica]

looking forward to meeting you all - hope the next few days of crazy heat doesn't frazzle everyone too much!

[Knomester]

I'll be there at G&B on 9th June too!

[anna_r]

9th at G&B still good for me too.

[Browncoffee]

I'm so gutted - I can no longer make it tomorrow! I totally forgot I had an alternative work arrangement (my "pregnancy brain" syndrome gets worse by the minute) that I can't now get out of. Aaargghhhh! I was so...looking forward to meeting you all.

Oh well, I hope it all goes well and you arrange a follow to take place soon. Keep us posted on how it all goes and future plans....

...and have fun!

I can still make tonight and will be there closer to 7. How is it looking for everyone else?

[prm]

Hi jayd5 & everyone attending tonight...I am still planning to come but will probably be 7ish too.

[lucyjessica]

I am still planning to come - can do 6.30 if still suits some or can come 7 if better...

[Knomester]

I'm still coming along too! Like Lucy I'm happy to come along at 7ish if that's more convenient for you all?

Do you think we need to book a table? I've lost track of how many people are coming....

[BAM]

Hi all,

Sadly something has come up and I'm no longer able to make tonight. Aggghhh!! Have a wonderful evening though.

Sadly really busy at work - my final project before going on ML is The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which has involved lots of looooonnnng days - so won't be able to make it. But hope you all have a wonderful evening - only two more weeks at work, so definitely up for the next one! Michelle x

[lucyjessica]

Yes I've completely lost track of who was coming too!

Had a quick look back and I think there are potentially still 8 of us meeting (Knomester, lucyjessica, prm, jayd5, anna_r, Au'Lait, frierntastic, katycameron).

Given that as not everyone might have a chance to check back here before coming - perhaps still best to stick to a 6.30 meet and those who need to arrive a little later can...?

[anna_r]

I'm still planning on coming...and should be there around 6.30 as am coming straight from work (to avoid going home and getting daughter sad about me going out!) and am just filling time at work at the moment! See you later, anna

[Knomester]

I'll still head down for as close to 6.30pm as I can then and see you there!

[prm]

Hi ladies, it was really nice meeting you all yesterday! It would be great to keep the group going and have regular meetings...how are you all fixed for Wednesday 7th July? And of course anyone new wanting to join will be very welcome.

[lucyjessica]

Wednesday 7th July works well for me - really nice to meet you all last night.

[buggie]

Arrgghhh I'll be on a night shift - hopefully one of the meet up dates won't clash with my rota!

[prm]

OK here's another idea...rather than trying to find one date that suits everyone which is always going to be difficult, maybe we could do a regular meeting e.g. every other Wednesday:

Weds 23 June

Weds 7 July

Weds 21 July

Weds 4 Aug

And so on.

Like a drop in kind of thing, not everyone will be able to make every session but hopefully everyone who is interested can make it some of the dates. We can post here the day before and say who's coming. What do you think?

[katycameron]

Hi,

Lovely to meet you all too. Wed 7th july works for me, same time and place?

A regular meet up is a good idea, although we would need to confirm each time who can make it so no-one is there on their own!

[Browncoffee]

Like the idea of meeting every other Wednesday. Will get that in my calendar right away so don't double-book next time!
