Spring babies club (due March/Apr/May 2012)


Recommended Posts

Hello All,


I've booked a table for us at 10am at Franklins this Saturday (the 14th).


So far, though I may have this wrong, I've had responses from:


Jane Goodland

Alex Love

Jenifire


Please let me know of any additions! and/or if the date and time no longer suit.

Also, would be useful if you could let me know if you'd like a high chair/+ or to bring a buggy, as they will put us in a different part of the room if so.


Hope you are all well, and congrats to all the new Mums!


Vanessa.

Hello Spring Babies Ladies!


I have been negelectful of the forum for a few weeks, and what a lot of activity there has been in my absence!

CONGRATULATIONS to all new Mummies and babies, your stories have filled me with hope. I Can't Wait to meet your new little ones.


Still 4 weeks to go for me (if our little one sticks to his diary!) but a week and a half left at work -aargh! (I have sort of had enough now.) Having retired from the long drive back & forth to Birmingham (I don't really fit in the car seat any more!) nonetheless the train journey is proving quite a schlep!


Am still managing the Legs, Bums & Pregnant Tums class at JAGS, it has been a godsend. Maybe see some of you there? (If I'm right it's at 9AM this Sunday, due to the studio refurbishment.)


XXX to you all

from Elisabeth

We are delighted to announce the birth of Lily!

Baby arrived yesterday - 10.4.12 after a shocking 2 hour labour and where I didn't have time to be taken to hospital so she had an impromptu delivery on the bathroom floor - with NO pain relief at all. Not even a whiff of gas and air was possible!

Weighing in at 8lbs 8oz I am needless to say very sore, but also delighted!

Take care everyone!

Sophie, congratulations and what a labour!! I am so happy for you. I hope that you get some rest so that you can recover. Shout via the forum if you need a hand. Welcome to the world baby lily- looking forward to meeting you both in due course.

Congratulations Emmy and Vanessa, just shows that you can never prepare for birth, the babies have their own agenda's and will come how and when they want...


One week to go and I am really feeling it now... Think that is why pregnancy is 9 months as the last few weeks you just want them out!


Can I tentatively put my name down for franklins on Saturday (depending how I feel)? Would be good to see you all and have a catch up...

Wow well done Emmy and Sophie, you girls are amazing, what incredible birth stories. Glad you are both recovering well.

Wee are 6 weeks post delivery now and am enjoying being able to drive again although still finding lifting toddler very hard.

Hope to meet up and meet all the new babies soon

Hi all,


I'm new to East Dulwich and eager to meet other mums to be (and recent mums!) in the area as I am due to have my first baby next month. I saw the post about breakfast this weekend. Would it be ok if I came along to Franklin's this Saturday?

Congrats to all the new mummies - great to hear your stories. Good luck to those on the edge too!


Mia, welcome to ED. Do come along tomorrow, there's always room at Franklins. I'm not sure I'll make it tomorrow as this little monkey is playing "I'm coming - oh maybe not" games at the moment.

Hello All,


Re Franklins tomorrow morning at 10am.


I have booked a slightly larger table than the number of people who said they could make it, so please do feel free to pop in! The more the merrier, and I have a feeling that this is going to be one of the last meet ups before we all have very important others demanding all of our attention (if you dont already have 1 or 2 of those already.. ;-) ).


til soon!

Hi Vanessa - we may not make it tomorrow after all as we all have a bit of a cold at the moment with the male members of the family (particularly the smallest one) being the most grumpy about it! Will try and make it if feeling better though.


Congrats to all the new arrivals - the birth stories are getting more amazing as we go.

Hello Ladies,

I would love to attend the breakfast at Franklins tomorrow if its not too late?

It sounds like one or people can't make it, so I'm going to gamble on there being room...

Haven't been able to make a meet up for a few weeks, and am dying to see how people are getting on.

See you tomorrow!

I'm disappointed I can't make breakfast today. I was hoping to have a good catch up on baby news.

Sam went to the tongue tie clinic on Thursday afternoon and he's not stopped crying since then. All a bit traumatic!

Hoping he'll get better over the weekend and then I can get some sleep :)

Congrats to all the new recent arrivals. Well done to the mums.

Hope to catch up soon

    • Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.
    • Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)
    • Please let me know if anyone is selling a Hemnes daybed in the near future. Thanks 
    • Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
