Hi, I am a 21 year old mum with a baby girl who will be 1 in 2 weeks time. I have only recently moved to Port Macquarie with my partner & am finding it quite hard to meet any mums around my age group. I would love to chat & hopefully make a new friendship with any mums in the area to make my days in this town a little more exciting. :p
hello, I live in Laurieton (30km south of port), I'm 28 and I have a son who will be 1 on 7th December. Where did you move from?
Hi Sirenz, I moved here from Brisbane. My partner is originally form here so i made the big move. My little girl was due on 7 dec! but she came 8 days early 29 nov so our babies are the same age. I have been for a drive to Laurieton my partner took me to see the view from the mountain there?? Do you have any special plans for your sons 1 st birthday? :dance:
Hi Oliviasmum07
We used to live in brissy too! We lived in Toowong and Forest Lake, but we are originally from around here.
My little man, Zac, was due on 24th November but he had no intentions of coming out, so they induced me on 5th december and he was finally born on 7th via emergency c/s.
For his birthday, we are having a party with family and friends. I can't believe how fast time has gone.
What about your little girl, are you doing anything special? was she born in brisbane?
haha small world! I worked in Forest Lake! I lived there for a while & Chapel Hill. Olivia my baby girl was born at the Mater Hospital! was your lil man born in brissy or here?? I'm originally from Tamworth so were heading back there for her birthday party to celebrate with family! Its crazy how fast a year goes isn't it! I mean i can't imagine my life without her or really before her for that matter! but it feels like the last year has creeped up on me over the last couple of months!! Is your son walking yet? Olivia isn't but she started standing up by herself holding onto things a couple of weeks ago & uses the furniture to walk her way around! I just had to move the dvd player cause she is now in perfect height & tinks its hilarious to turn it off & on!! & there's only so many times i can handle the start of her play school dvd in one day lol...
hehe yes we definately have to move all our dvd players and my husbands playstation (Zac can turn it on lol)
He is walking around the furniture but only just started that in the last couple of weeks, i don't think he is in a real hurry to do anything our little man lol. His first tooth still hasn't cut all the way through and its been like this for about 1 month now.
have you taken Olivia to any swim classes or anything? I'm thinking of taking Zac to one here, its at an indoor pool, which is good.
Zac was born here at port hospital, i found the midwives to be great and the obs too.
Hey are you on facebook?
Hey, I have a little pool for her & she splashes about in that! This weather has been so crazzy though lately hasn't really been warm enough has it.. I haven't taken her to any swim classes yet. Her nan used to be a swim instructor here in Port before she moved away & she is coming home next week for a couple of weeks so she is going to get her in the pool & give her some lessons. She loves the water though makes a mess splasing about in the bath! haha
Yes I am on facebook.. I think they will get up & walk when there ready really they have it to good we carry them about every everywhere why would they want to have to hold there own weight lol.. She is sitting here with the hiccups now after she just finished laughing in hysterics at nothing haha There into everything they can get there hands on at this age aren't they! I hought i moved the dvd's out of reach & she pulled all of them down luckily the dvd player is out of the way now!
Are you still bf??? are you using cloth nappies at all? I finished up 4 nov bf as she was just snack eating & kept waking through night & only thing that would get her to sleep was bf so i had to cut that out :( although she still wakes alot!! but she is getting better.
i couldn't bf due to attachment issues, so i ended up expressing full time for him until he was 8 1/2 months old. It was hard for me because i really wanted to bf.
I don't use cloth nappies. do you?
we too are having a few sleep issues at the moment, where he used to be a really great sleeper, now he is waking in the middle of the night screaming. hoping its just him teething and not a permanent thing.
