New to Canberra ACT

[Virgo]

HI everyone
Sorry I missed you all on the 19th! Elodie is teething and things were particularly difficult yesterday. We had tears, no sleep the works! No teeth to show for it and doesn't look like they'll be here any time soon. Went to the GP and all is clear so it looks like it's teething that is going to be ongoing! JUst when things were looking up (she was falling asleep without being rocked in her own cot etc..) she has started to cry when we leave the room again. It's so hard to watch. Any tips on getting thru this stage would be much appreciated! I hope to meet up with you all again at some stage soon though.

Cheers.
Soph

For those of you who were interested in baby carriers

Canberra Babywearers are a group of mums who like to share the
babywearing love. If you want to try on different slings, get some
help with slings you've already got, or just meet up with other mums
who do the babywearing thing, please come along!

Thursday 28th May
10am
At the Brindabella Baby shop: upstairs at 29 Lonsdale Street, Braddon.
Look for the Brindabella Baby signs on the footpath across the road
from Debacle bar.

BYO morning tea/coffee (but be mindful of safety issues with
little ones and hot things).

Do they have MCN's there too? I have heard they are the only IRL shop in Canberra that have some to touch - is that right do you know.

I am a newly converted cloth addict ........

[sweetpea678]

Yes the shops does have some mcns not sure which brands etc, normally the shop is open mon-wed but she is opening for us to be there thursday.

[SamiH]

okies, I am going to be in the city on Monday so just might call in ...

Tuesday 16/06 sounds good and kid city works for me lol - just up the road.

[sweetpea678]

Just read her websit it now open mon-sat 10am to 4pm


I'm out for the 16th as I am heading to QLD that day for a confrence, but kidcity sounds good to me to.

[misty]

Can we make the meet up for the week after the 16th? AKA the 23rd June. I have a uni exam on the 16th.

OK, this is going to sound funny, but where is Mitchell and kidcity?

[sweetpea678]

The 23rd would suit me a lot bett.

Mitchell is in north canberra on the way out towards gunghalin.

[misty]

Thanks sweetpea. I will have to double check, but I shouldn't have a problem getting there.

Hi Everyone

Looks like the 16th might not work for everyone and unfortunatley the 23rd is not good for me as i will not have B. What about Tues 2nd June (which is only a couple of weeks away) or 30th June (a few weeks away).

Sorry Misty i forgot about buses for you. please let us know if it is not easy to get there and we can go back to the orginal play of lollipops again.

Hope all is well and chat soon

[misty]

How about the 9th June?? (the week before the 16th?)

[Trac73]

It really doesn't worry me when but i was just trying to work out a Tues where i had B so she could go to KidsCity and play with A and G. But honestly anytime that suits everyone would be fine.

[Frenchy]

Well, it won't help much with the debate but any Tuesday is good for me...being either the 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th....

[Trac73]

Why don't i throw this one in.......what about a Wednesday? B is not doing her swimming lessons this term and we are now able to do Wednesdays. What are everyone's thought about Wednesdays????

Looking forward to meeting up really soon.

Hope everyone is doing well

[misty]

Well here I'll put out two options.

Wednesday - 24th June (This is my preference)
Tuesday - 30th June

How is everyone going? It has been interesting here for the past couple of weeks with DH away. I have the utmost respect for single parents - it truely is the hardest job in the world. Especially without a car liscence and no buses near my house, this last two weeks I have been wondering if maybe I should work on getting my liscence.

[SamiH]

wed good for me at the moment - I have G home too

So - 24/06?? i am up for a week earlier??

[sweetpea678]

I don't mind what day but will be away from the 17th -21st June.

[Frenchy]

Wed 24/06 is good for me too (if baby doesn't decide to arrive too early!) I'll also have my mum from France (she's coming on the 18th), her English is rather limited but we'll manage!
