Anyone from Northern Beaches of Sydney?

Hi, just wondering if theres anyone here from the Northern Beaches of Sydney? I'm in Cromer & would love to catch up with anyone close to me.
Thanks,
Danielle

Hi Danielle

Just noticed your thread. I also live in Cromer, near Maas street. Whereabouts are you? Have you been here long? I am a 30 year old SAHM of 2 boys (aged 3.5 and 13 months). Am thinking about going for number 3 but still deciding. Would love a little girl! We have been in this area for about 5 years.

Anyway, it would be nice to meet another mum in the area.

Kate

Hi Kate, I'm sorry I've only just checked for replies after quite some time (stopped checking so often when it seemed I was the only one hehe)

I'm on Little Willandra Rd in Cromer. We bought this house in August 2005 & before that we were renting all around the Northern Beaches, so I've been a local since I was 7 (I'm now 26)

I have one daughter aged 2 (just turned 2... 25 months old) & we are currently trying to concieve again... I'd love a son but will be just as stoked for another beautiful healthy daughter (of course)

I'd love to catch up some time, do you have msn? If you do you can send me a message if you like ( theres a link under my name)

Thanks for replying :) Hopefully chat soon,

Hi Danielle & Kate,

I live in Sydney near Chatswood and my relatives live on the Northern beaches so im there all the time. Love to catchup with you both :) I have one DD who is 9 months very soon and we are TTC again :)

Hi Belle, I'd love to catch up some time. I'll try to catch you on msn messenger as I see you have it.

PC damn, maybe if you ever know you'll be over this way let us know & we can all catch up! That would be great.

hi Danielle, I have been away but just got back from the Hunter... msn me and we can arrange a meetup!

Belle- haha it seems we're never online (msn) at the same time lol

I will keep trying :)

Hi Belle

Ill try to catch you on msn as well.

im online now girls are you both?

Hi Belle, I'm online now, I think I caught you on msn too, your currently "away" but I sent a hello :)

hi girls im from the northern beaches too im in cromer aswell...:dance:

Hi Tina, do you have a msn messenger id? If you do you can send me a message (the icon is near my name) or through yahoo messenger.

I'd love to meet up with you sometime. Let me know & we can try to organise something if you like :)

Hi All-

I ama lso on Northern Beaches. We live in Balgowlah and I have been searcing for Northern Beaches mums for ages.

The short story - am pregnant with my first, a baby girl due Oct 22 (can't wait) - booked in at Manly Hospital (anyone have any experiences?) and attend Prenatal yoga at Qi Harbord/Manly.

I suck at computer messaging and stuff - so if someone could teach me (i do have a hotmail address as well) - but oherwise am always at work and can be contacted on that address anytime.

I'd love to get involved in any meet-ups etc - let me know.

Hi Baby Pike, firstly congrats on your pregnancy!!

I had my DD at Manly Hospital & I loved it!! The staff were very kind (except for one) there was no rush for me to leave & it doesn't seem to get too busy there so I got my own room even though I was a public patient (my friend had her own room too only 2 weeks before me)

To give you an idea of how the staff treat you (or the way they treated me 2 years ago) is this story...

I suffered from hyperemisis (severe morning sickness) so I was put in hospital twice throughout my pregnancy to be rehydrated etc. I stayed over night both times & the staff told me that I can come back anytime.... & I quote, "even if you just need some rest" This amazed me, I'd never heard of such a thing being offered but they were great.

When the time came to giving birth the midwife who had been with me from pretty much the start stayed an extra hour & half after her shift had finished so she could be there with me til DD was safely delivered so that I "didnt have to get a stranger" she was so kind!

The only downside was the fact that they didnt seem to "push" you to breast feed, they seemed to let you give up very quickly... but thats up to you if you want to breastfeed or not....

We're hoping to meet up maybe tomorrow at Narrabeen if you'd like to join us. Let me know via email if you like :)

Hope to meet you soon,

Danielle

Hey girls, if its more convenient we can always meet at my house... its baby / child friendly :) Let me know

Hi everyone

We are in the Frenchs Forest area - I have 2 boys aged 8 and 3. If you are interested, I help to run a casual playgroup during school term time at Kinma Preschool on Mondays from 9.30am - 11.30am. Its a drop by any time kinda playgroup and only $3 a family to cover expenses. No term fees. Complete use of a wonderful preschool with loads of grassy outdoor play area and in a lovely bushland setting. Would love to catch up with some Belly Belly people there. It starts next Monday.

Cheers, Jenny

Oh - its 127 Coolowie Rd Terrey Hills in Kinma Preschool - you can look it up

Hi all. I only joined BB last week or so, and just found this thread.
I'm in Frenchs Forest with a 2.5 yo DD and one on the way next month. Would love to catch up.
Might have to swing by on Monday Jenny - thanks.

Hi Jenny & Kirst. We are all sick here so havent been able to meet up with anyone for a few weeks but if we are better by next Mon we will try to drop by Kinma Preschool & say hi.

Thanks for posting here, I hope to meet you all soon :)

Danielle

Hi everyone!

I've just moved to Dee Why with my DP and i'm due with my first bubs in November... just wondering if anyone is still lurking in this Northern Beaches thread?! It would be good to meet some other Northern Beaches people!! :D

Hi Keira, yes we're still lurking... well I am at least! I'm in Cromer just up the hill from you. Dee Why is lovely, I've lived there before & loved it, where did you move from?
Wow your first baby due in Nov, very exciting!
Let me know if you want to meet up anytime, even before you have your baby if you like, its great to be able to make friends in the area & I believe you can never have too many friends! :-)

Hey Guys I would still love to meet up with you Danielle, Kate and Keira, i havent been well of late but will be free in 2 weeks time if you guys are free..love Dee Why! I used to live there too.

Ok that would be great, maybe we can make it a day next week... I'm busy Monday though sorry ladies.... Once we organise something I will try & let Kate know & there was another lady who lived close too... Trudi her name was, I'll see if I can dig up her email address somewhere!

Hi Keira

I used to live in Dee Why as well. We were just at Dee Why beach this morning (very early since the boys rose at 5.30 this morning! - enjoy your sleepins before the bub comes). My boys love the baby pool at Dee Why beach.

Would be good for us all to get together sometime. I should be able to do a Wed or Thur morning at the moment.

So far Thurs sounds best for me as Brianna is at kindy on Wed....

Hi Chicks!

So glad you're all still hanging around this thread! I'd love to meet up! I can pretty much do any day at the moment so just let me know what day suits you all, we could all go for coffee in Dee Why maybe if that suits everyone? :D

Can't wait to meet the locals LOL

Keira xox

OK, I was thinking we could maybe go to the "Jungle Gym" in Dee Why, that way the kids can play & we can all relax & have a coffee etc.
It's on the corner of Thew Pde & South Creek Rd East (I think it's East) Same building as Zone 3, right near Pittwater High School. We go there quite often as Brianna loves it & the tables are set up so we can see the kids & relax more.
Let me know your thoughts :-)

did you guys meet up? if not im free next week or week after if you guys are? Julias still only crawling Danielle so is there a section she can play?

look forward to seeing you call soon.

Bel

Hi Belle, no we didn't, nobody wrote back lol must all be busy! Thursday this week should be fine unless I get called into work but I should have enough notice beforehand to let you know on here if I cant make it.
The directions for the play centre were right but the school is wrong, I said Pittwater High (which is in Mona Vale lol) I meant Cromer High School.
Belle there is an area for smaller babies there where you can sit them on the padded floor with lots of toys around them or even put them in the walker thingy that doesn't walk haha I think they're called excer-saucers?
Everybody post on here if they want to go. If you would like my mobile number send me a private message & I'll send it back for you.
Hope to catch up soon :)
Danielle

Hi Belle and Danielle and anyone else lurking in this thread! I know its a bit late notice but if anyone happens to be free tomorrow morning Sam (my youngest) and I are free for a play?? What about Jungle Gym? - did you guys go last week?

Sounds great.... I didnt go last week.
I've just got a job so as of the 20th of Nov I'll be working on Tues & Thurs but thats only for 4 weeks because next year my days change to Mon & Fri so I'll be free again on Thurs next year.
Tomorrows fine as I dont start work for a few weeks.
What time were you thinking??

hI Danielle - we can meet anytime from about 9.15. - after i drop Jake at Kindy. What about 9.30? or whatever suits you is fine. My shout for coffee this time!

Ok great, can we say between 9:45 & 10am?? Looking forward to it! :)

see you then!

Hi Kate, it was great seeing you again, we'll have to do it again soon!

Hopefully a few more people will be able to make it next time :)

Hi girls,
Just wondering if you are all still trying to or are meeting up?
I am moving back to the beaches (Collaroy) this weekend, and am sad to leave my mothers group here in the hunter :(
My little man Tyler (almost 11 months) loves the interaction (almost as much as I do), so would love to meet up with some local mums & bubs.
May be a week or two until we can commit to something but would love to meet up :)
Meredith :)

Did you get this setup?

I am pregnant with my first baby due in May and will be moving to Warriewood at the end of this month.

I'd love to meet others mums or mums to be.

Vicky

Hi Meredith & Vicky. We haven't met up for a while now but we'd love to again soon. Been so busy over Christmas & the beginning of the year that time has just flown by.

I hope your moves went well & hope to hear from you soon :)

That would be great. My move had been held up by paperwork, but let me know if you want to meet up and I can come over the the North Shore. We are across quite a bit checking on the progress of the house.

Wow its been a while and I imagine you have had your baby by now!
I moved up from the inner city last month, Im living in mona vale (bayview) and expecting to deliver in January. Im interested in meeting up if you have time (your baby would be four months old now Viki? Hope its all going ok Ive heard the first few months can be a bit tough) or meeting other mums/ mums to be...
:)
