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

[jimnem]

Hi Ladies,

I might tag along tomorrow if that's OK? It would be good for me to do a trial run on the bus with pram before I actually do really need to make the same journey later this week.

Cool - will be good to meet the new bubbas!,

[Dulwich chef]

Sounds great, see you at 11 at Lucas's xx

[jj55]

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.

[janegoodland]

Cool see you there. Jo - stick with it.... It does get better I promise!! Good to get out if you can, even if he's giving you a hard time.... Change of scene is good for you and him!

11am at Luca's xx

[laurajp]

I would love to pop in too. I've been having a tricky time recently too so it will be good to get out and compare sleepless nights! xx

[June80]

Hey all I will pop down to Lucas's too so look forward to seeing you there

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

Jenny same thing seems to be happening to us. Terrible screaming all evening and morning unless held! Dream baby has turned into diva baby!

[Widdy]

Hiya

I can't meet this morning im afraid as already have plans, but would be up for next Monday at cafe provencal.

Congratulations on the new babies! Hope everyone is doing well and those yet to pop aren't feeling too uncomfortable!

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

[rebeccaben]

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!

[janegoodland]

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!!

Hey all,

Lovely to see you. Not able to venture to herne hill yet - oh how life has changed but will see those who make it at the gardens on tuesday. Baby Isaac and i hang out there everyday day anyway:). Our usual round is pr park to homemade on barry road then coffe and pancakes for me then isaac wakes and we are off to gardens where we change and feed isaac and more coffee for me, then another walk aound the rye and that is 4hrs gone!

[Nix13]

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!

I'm defintely up for Cafe Prov on monday and will try and make the gardens on tuesday too.

Emma x

[Jenifire]

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 Everyone,

It has been a while!

I'm planning to try to get out of the house with my twins and my mum and join you at the gardens cafe, just need to check where's the Gardens cafe and if a double pushchair (side by side) will fit inside?

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.

Jo

[janegoodland]

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
