Spring babies club (due in March, April, May 2011)

[Family Room Moderator]

Many congratulations to everyone expecting babies in the Spring.

You can use this thread for chats, arranging meets, celebrating the highs and moaning about the lows - it's up to you.

The months are only intended as a guideline - if you're expecting a February baby for example but you'd prefer to come to the Spring baby meet-ups, or if anyone would like to come to more than one set of meet-ups then please go ahead. Equally, many parents expecting spring babies may not yet be ready to discuss their pregnancies, so please join in as and when you feel like it. Everyone is welcome, the more the merrier.

Here's to a happy and healthy 6 months or so ahead!

Thanks for setting this up!

I can start...I'm due #2 on/around 5th March. I have a 21 month old son. Hope others can join me to chat about riveting topics like double buggies!

[snowboarder]

Me too. Due March 1st-ish with second, little snowboarder 1 is currently 17 months. Double buggies and whether to buy another cot and where everyone should sleep once this baby is born on my list of concerns. Oh and the chocolate....must stop...do not want another huge baby. Or another c section if possible.

Hey, i am due 1st March also. This will be #2 - my 1st daughter is 21 months. Keen to meet up with other 2nd time mums - i will be needing lots of advice on juggling / managing with 2 little ones!! Caroline

[BellendenBear]

I am due early April when my daughter will be 26 months old. Definitely keen to meet with others due in Spring, especially those who already have toddlers.

[snowboarder]

Anyone fancy a playground meet sometime? We can do most afternoons post nap time...

[H4]

Is there room for another little one?

My first baby's due mid-late March.... would be lovely to meet up with a others locally!!

[alieh]

I would love to meet up, but am at work Mon-Thu and then swimming on Friday AM, which just leaves Friday PM post nap. But if others are more available, go ahead and meet up without me and I will join you happily once I'm on mat leave!

Hi there

I'm due around 5th March with my first and would also love to meet up!

[snowboarder]

Could do a friday afternoon if you there is one free!! Prob only good for a toddler mums meet though - I wouldn't inflict the chaos of goose green playground on anyone without little ones yet....

[BellendenBear]

I am a bit like alieh. I work Mon-Thurs, swimming on Friday mornings then work some Friday afternoons. Would love to try to meet up for some toddler chaos though. Goose Green good for me!

[alieh]

BellendenBear, we're running the same schedule! We could do a park meet up on a Friday afternoon (any brave first-timers welcome to join too) and then maybe plan an evening coffee in a few months, once we all get closer to the finale.

This Friday isn't great for me as I've been sick as a dog (cold not pregnancy related) and am still recovering. And next Friday we have our very belated MMR booster in the afternoon (fun), but the 29th October would be good. Anyone else?

[H4]

Hi,

I'll come along on the 29th if I can... will be nice to meet up and witness the Goose Green playground in action!

[catg]

Hi!

I'm on my 2nd as well and would love to come along on the 29th to meet up with you all.

[snowboarder]

Perfect I can do the 29th too. 3pm? Meet by the baby bit (not so mad?)?

[alieh]

Sounds great! I'll try to remember to post a reminder closer to the time to bump up the thread, in case there are others out there who might want to join.

[BellendenBear]

Think I'm working that Friday, unless I convince them that they don't need me. We're around later today though if anyone is free.

[ClareC]

Hi all, have you met up yet? I am pregnant with number 2, due early May. DD1 is 9 mths old. Would love to join you all when you meet up.

[snowboarder]

Clare - no no not met yet - congratulations! - meet next fri afternoon for chaotic plus toddler meet at Goose Green playground...

[alieh]

I completely forgot that my son's childminder is having a Hallowe'en party on Friday aft and I said we'd go. Really sorry! Sounds like there are others able to meet up, so go ahead and we can plan another one when I can join too. Alie

[BellendenBear]

Is this afternoon still happening? We can come too now. Hope to see some of you there.

[snowboarder]

We can come but will be more like 3.30 I think - small one having a late nap...we have a blue maclaren buggy and will have sturdy blond boy in tow...

[snowboarder]

Oh dear so sorry little snowboarder just had major 45 min long tantrum after waking up super grumpy. Am administering smoothie and cbeebies which seems to be working but can't see us getting out this afternoon. Sorry, rubbish!

[mrs f]

Hello.... so I'd like to join in here. I'm due at the end of march and am unlike most of you in that I'm a first timer....

can we arrange a coffee or something for a weekend or evening or does that not work so well for the people who are seccond time arround?

Thanks!

[Sicilia]

Hi

An evening or weekend would be great if possible as I work full time. I think H4 is also interested in meeting up - shall we try and arrange a time?
