We are back & all went well It's not exactly a mum's group that we're going to just yet, more of classes for new mums. Today was just getting to know everyone & telling all of our pregnancy & birth stories. Next week is sleep & settling then there are 5 weeks after that on different topics. After that we can decided if we want to continue on as a mum's group. The scary thing is that we have to leave our babies :shock: There are 15 of us and something like 5 ECHNs to look after the bubs while we have our class - they feed & change them if needed & bring them to mum if they get upset. I was totally expecting Zander to cry the whole time, but surprise surprise he was not one of the three bubs that wanted their mums It was really good to meet some other mums - the youngest baby was 3 weeks & the oldest was 5 months but was 11 weeks premmie.
I hope Gabby is better for you this afternoon Deb. Yucko at the big poo this morning. I have just finished the cheapy newborn nappies and luckily didn't have an incident with them.
LOL at going to the mum's group in your pj's Fi. None of the mums had makeup on, but all the bubs were dressed nicely - not a wondersuit in sight LOL! Yay for getting your tickets to NZ, I didn't know that you could get cots on the plane, that's gotta be helpful. As for the pretty birth certificate, we got one too with animals on it & are planning on getting my sister to have it framed with either hand/feet casts or baby memorabilia (pins, dummy, cord clamp, hospital bracelet etc) for Zander's baptism.
Yay for a good sleep last night Tanya I'm not much of a social butterfly either (just ask the girls who've met me how quiet I am at first!) but I just had to do something to get out of the house & speak to people.
Nat, I hope the car is fixed soon. We only have 1 so I know how hard it is, but with the boys as well it's gotta be crazy. I hope Christian is feeling better soon.
Oh oh forgot to mention, we are going on our first big car trip on Saturday. Friends rang last night inviting us to a 30th in Berry which is about 2.5hrs away. They have 2 kids, so said if we can't make it no big deal they understand.
