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


Recommended Posts

Great - determined to see you all there.


Had a terrible day today - little sleep last night and then the little man has cried all day unless on the boob - I think I might have cried more though! So I really hope I get some sleep tonight and Arthur behaves when he meets you ladies.

Hi ladies

We can't make today as got my toddlers nursery parents meeting then!


Was wondering if any of you fancied meeting up next Monday morning at cafe Proven?al in herne hill. Very feeding friendly and toddler friendly and on the no 37 bus route from ed.


Jo and laura hope you had a better evening. I was up most of the night with my Sam having been feeling rather smug about his sleeping and he is being mega clingy today. Over my third coffee of the morning ism repeating 'it's just a phase, it gets easier!'. Perhaps it's the 6 week growth spurt or something?


All the best

Hi ladies, I'd be up for next Monday as well, will get hubby to look after toddler otherwise might be a bit hectic! Something defo seems to happen when nice sleepy newborns hit 2 and 6 weeks, they turn into feeding/screaming monsters, not looking forward to that although it does pass and we will sleep again! Take care all and see you next week x x x

Jenny and Rosie - I think our three must have had a word with each other yesterday morning when our backs were turned. Sam screamed from yesterday afternoon through until 11.30pm when we both passed out (him on my boob). My charming husband managed to pick that day to have a "working lunch" turn into an all afternoon/evening session at the pub. The joys of parenthood!

Good to see everyone (and meet the new babies)today.


Just to let everyone know we're planning a meet up next Tuesday at the Gardens cafe if anyone is up for it...guessing around 11am like today. Depending on arrival / non arrival status of baby I'll endeavour to drop in on Monday at cafe prov and/or Tuesday at the gardens.


Good luck with the screamers!!

Hi! I agree - was great to catch up with everyone today. Good to know that we're all in it together - and be able to laugh about it!


I'll hope to join you at the Gardens on Tuesday (11 a.m. works for us). I'll tell myself we have to leave at 9 in hopes that we'll be ready to walk out the door just ahead of 11...Charlie is very skilled at letting [insert unfavorable bodily function here] go at the most inopportune moments!


See you soon. And best wishes to those whose babies are nearly here!

Hi

Great to see so many mums and babies today. I'm so glad I braved the bus and the 3 hours it took me to get Amelie ready to leave the house this morning!

Up for Cafe Prov on Monday and will also try to make the Gardens on Tuesday.


Glad the bus trip went well Emma - beginning to think I should have tried a trial run as well as getting to Pilates for 10am tomorrow with a baby who will then sleep for at least an hour is definitely going to be a challenge. I think I will need to start preparing at about 6am!


Hope the misbehaving Herne Hill babies had a better night last night.

Hi all

I'm planning on coming to the Gardens tomorrow too. Little Max, yes another boy Spring Baby, was born last weekend after a loooong labour and we're now starting to get out and about.

Emmy, the Gardens is On Peckham Rye, just near the Barry Road intersection. We were there yesterday and it's really spacious inside and out, so i think your buggy would be just fine.

Congratulations on the arrival of Max!


We welcomed another spring baby boy yesterday afternoon...Dexter arrived at home after a very quick labour (45 mins!) - only just managed to jump into the pool in time!! It's those second babies, pop out v.quick!


Anyway, needless to say, I won't make the meet ups this week but will be ready for it next week I'm sure!


Take care, See you all 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.
