[rubyredlips]

Hi,

Im mum to little Ruby who is now almost 4 months old.....just wondering if there any other Mums in the hood?

Another beautiful day!!:smiliedance:

[gracewolds]

Hi Jo,

I am in The Beaches too - not sure how many of the mums an board are - it's a great site though

Have a great weekend

4 months old - no doubt keeping you busy

Mine are 2 and 3 so always busy

Enjoy her while she is a baby - it doesn't last long

[Kirst]

I'm in Lane Cove about to move to Frenchs Forest, so I'm not too far away.

[maggimum2b]

and if you wait until November I'll be a Mum! Would be good to meet some others as I only arrived from England in January and don't know many others yet.....
Maggi

[rubyredlips]

Hello all!

Gee it's noice to be back in cyber space! We've had no connection for a month and I think I was starting to have withdrawl!..

Hope all of your little ones are well.....my little gem has been cracking me up lately, she seems to find almost EVERYTHING highly amusing!

Clairet - whereabouts in Fairlight are you? I'm in Arthur St....

Arent we lucky to be blessed with this great WINTER weather????? I'm supposed to be decorating the hall but havent made much progress!

[yummmmy_mummy]

hi everyone
im emily i have a 2 yo daughter and im 21 weeks pregnant i have just moved to whale beach for 3 months so if any of u would like to bring ur kiddies along and have a nice day at the beach let me know theres also a nice park here and the beach is fairly quiet

emily

[rubyredlips]

Gee.. its been v quite here, hi all you Northern beaches mums & babes....cant wait for it to dry up outside, am starting to get serious cabin fever!

Anyhow.....a couple of weeks ago one of my fave jumpers must have fallen out of the pram whilst I was out walking in Manly....I went down Birkley, onto Sydney Rd, then into Manly. Its a beigey/light brown scoop neck, quite long, from Witchery. If anyone found it theres a drink in it for ya!:fingerscrossed:

[RosieMcPosie]

Hi!

I'm Jen, from Dee Why, mum to Thomas who is 7 months old.

Corrie you're in DY too? :)

Does anyone attend a playgroup close by? Thom and I are looking for one!

Oh emily...whale beach is GORGEOUS!! My husband and I got married there.

Jen

[perthmummie]

hi, thought id jump in here, Im Angela, mum to 4 month old twins...(who won't sleep during the day) Im in Ryde, just moved here from perth...again!
:ecomcity: :ecomcity: :ecomcity:

[Caithi]

Hi :wave:

I have a bump, not due until Feb but would love to touch base with Beaches Mummies for a :ecomcity: and poss drinks lol after March!:smiliedance: I am in Allambie Heights.

Feels like I havent been out for years :laughing:

[rubyredlips]

Wow PerthMummie....I am in awe of anyone with more than one bubble!!

Great name RosiePosie!

I do love living around here but get a bit peeved with the (apparent) lack of disabled buses to go such short distances??? I'm in Fairlight, and going to DY on the bus feels like a whole day out!! Doesnt matter I guess.....not like I'm in a rush!

I am forcing myself to go to the mall this afty, I'm late with a coupla prezzies for back in the UK and Ruby needs a new sun hat....she seems to have inherited her mums big head!

[rubyredlips]

And Caithi! Congrats on your bump! I'm always up for a social dwinkypoo......!

Anyone else????:D

[Kirst]

Hey. I'm thinking about heading down to Warringah Mall this arvy after DD wakes up. If you see a stressed out mum with a daughter with a unicorn backpack/harness thing running around like a madchild - that's us!!! :laughing: :laughing:

[Caithi]

And Caithi! Congrats on your bump! I'm always up for a social dwinkypoo......!

Anyone else????

Whoooo hoooo - a mum who enjoys socials too! Lol.

I suggested it in another forum and they all acted like I was an alco :eek: for suggesting a get-together? lol Just assumed "us mums" did not drink anymore :laughing:

When a couple of drinks poses a problem then I am in trouble lol :yes: ( would have to be after March though lol ):yelclap:

[Caithi]

Anyone have any ideas for a Christening?

The problem I am having is the costs for the venue/food/alcohol:banghead:

Its impossible to have it here ( our place) as we are not going to be anywhere near finished wth the renovations ( I mean walls knocked out, all the front will be digged up, all the back and around the pool will also be digged up, possibally with no pool fence at the stage uurghhhhh ) so we need to find something in Sydney ( Northern Beaches / North Shore ) that will hold this many people (60), possibally near the church which will be in North Sydney.

The only rooms that will be finished will be the bedrooms as they will be having carpet and no walls removed. Even the kitchen wont be finished as they wont be up to painting/safe guarding the room.:crying: EXCELLENT TIMING! lol not

The quotes so far at the minimum for food only has been $45 pp so $3150 :eek: without anything else. Anyone know of a place that suits a christening that doesnt cost the earth?

I have tried local parks but the parks near the church have no cover so it would mean tables, chairs, marquee the list goes on and would cost a lot more than a restaurant.

Friends either live in units, both my parents and my brother ( whose home will be completely knocked down by then and will be living with my parents with his wife and three kids) have the same problem as us or the place just isnt big enough.

Anyone want to rent their home out for a day?? :laughing:

I have a HUGE family and I have invited the minimum people believe it or not. Any suggestions?

[maggimum2b]

Hi everyone
Sorry for being quiet [OK - not to those who know me!] but busy moving house and ...only 6 weeks to go! Glad the sun's come out.....anyone fancy meeting up now or in the future somewhere on the Northern Beaches??

[rubyredlips]

Hi there!

Good to see a few more of us have popped up - if you pardon the oun Caithi!

I havent been on for a bit.....been partying with some old girlfriends from the UK!! :party: Think I may need to detox...........

[rubyredlips]

hello?

[Kirst]

Jo, you have to check out the other threads too love. We had a North Shore meet-up last week. Where were you???

[spoon]

Hi everyone,

My name is Allison and i live in Pretty Beach, which is in the central coast, across the water on a ferry.

I would love to meet up with some mums soon if we could meet at Palm Beach so that I could catch the ferry.

Let mw know or pm me. Would love to go to a restaurant for lunch or have a coffee.

Allison

[rubyredlips]

Hi Kirst,

Yeah I think I saw that but I was hoping for something a bit more local as I dont always have transport. Thanks for the tip though, its appreciated.

Welcome to Allison! and congrats on your growing family! I would be happy to pop up to palm beach one day, its beautiful up there. which days suit you best?

Anyone else in that neck of the woods?

I went to a lovely cafe on the water there back in Nov last year.......cant remember the name, you can catch a seaplane there!

[spoon]

Hiya rubyredlips (I love the name Ruby by the way!) Most days suit me except Wednesdays.

Yes I went to a fish and chip shop at Palm Beach last year to grab some lunch to eat on the beach with the family, but i noticed there were some nice places there.

Just give me a yell and i will be there. I dont need too much notice 1 week or so and i am good.

[rubyredlips]

Great! Next week sounds good....perhaps when the weathers a bit better than today! :gloomy:

What age are your boys?

[spoon]

hi jo,

ill pm you.

[babylover111]

Ruby, I will definitely make it to a meet with you soon if it kills me! How old is your bubba?

[Butterflies&Hurricanes]

New to the boards and I'm already asking questions... :laughing:

Can anyone recommend somewhere to take my LO for swim lessons? (Near Dee Why preferrably)

Fluffball

[rubyredlips]

Hey,

Hi Kimberly and Jo

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Kimberly - DD due date was actually 13/12, same day as your little girl, Charlotte decided that I should spend Christmas in hospital though...

Am up for a meet if anyone else is.

Kerry

[rubyredlips]

Hey Kerry,

Yes - we live very close by! Ruby will be 1 at the end of this month........:eek: She is everywhere at the minute!!!But she is generally a really happy bub.

Aw, I would love to meet you and little Charlotte, so she's just over a month old? 6 weeks?

How adorable, you must be still floating! How is it all going?

[MammaMia2]

Hi

I am new to this so I hope I am doing it right. I live in Manly and seeking some other family who might want to share a nanny with us. We have a healthy, active 1 year old girl.

I am looking for 1-2 days per week. Prefer wednesday and thursday. It can be at our place or yours or both. Our home is smoke free. The nanny cost are ~$20 per hour so ~$10 each.

If you know of someone or interested please email me and we can see if we are a suitable match.

[rubyredlips]

Hi Mammamia2,

Thats a great idea......are you thinking of full days? i havent left ruby with anyone except her dad & gran since she was born so am thinking half days would be a good start.

[mm85]

a meet sounds like a fab idea... palm beach sounds nice... maybe in two weeks on lets say a wednesday???? i think it works out to be the 7th of march... i think... is that ok for everyone???

[rubyredlips]

Cool! Been trying to get a few people together for a while.....:confused: Count me in!

Palm Beach, Wed 7th March?

[mm85]

Wednesday 7th March Palm Beach somewhere--- Coming- Masonsmummy85 LucyCrystal RubyRedLips PrincessNiamh Not Sure- Not Coming-

[mm85]

ahhhh it wont put it into like a list if someone can change it please do sorryyyy

[rubyredlips]

Will someone send pms with time & location? I'm better after say 10.30am......and easy on location as I will drive :D

[mm85]

ok ill send them but i dont know any places at palm beach unless we just meet at the park or somehting then walk somewhere???

[spoon]

Hi guys!

I will be coming across from Pretty Beach on the ferry with my little boy and my overgrown twin belly, so would it be okay if we met somewhere near the ferry wharf?

I have marked it in my diary and am very excited to be coming now!!!

Allison

[spoon]

Te he he he!!!! It is gonna be a very nice day i thinks!!! thanks pn:hugs:

[Aquamarine]

Do you all just have babies or older kids too? My sons are 4, 3 and 5 months.

[rubyredlips]

Hey!

great to see theres a few of us up for it!From memory there is a kiddies playground for the older ones just before you turn right to go along the beach.... i'll have a squizz and get back to you.

Whos ok with picnics if theres no cafe there?

[rubyredlips]

And, how do I change my boring senior member title???? cant seem to find it? :confused: :confused:

[Kirst]

Can I jump in on this? We'd be a bit later (maybe 11:30), but I think I can make it.

can someone PM me? I have no idea where anything is in Palm Beach either. Soph, can you send me your mobile again (I've misplaced it) just in case I get lost?

Btw, my DD is 2, and a BIG 2, so we too would need the 'big kid's' playground.

[mm85]

ok so did we decide on a meeting place ???

[spoon]

Oh guys, I need to check and see if i can swap my anti natal visit with the hospital. it is the visit where they check for gestational diabetes too and i will probably have it as i did with my previous pregnancy... I REALLY want to come i will let you know.

[spoon]

I have swapped my appointment! will see you there. can someone pm me the meeting point? can it be near the ferry wharf???

[mm85]

ok ill do pms and i hope its ok for everyone!!!

[rubyredlips]

Hey guys!

Looking forward to this! Thanks for the pm.....I might go for a drive this week and check the place out. Will let ya'll know what I find!

[rubyredlips]

caithi?

see ya'll there -might be late depending on Rubys sleep

[mm85]

mason is sleeping. so ill be a bit late. hopefully only about half hour ish

[rubyredlips]

Ruby too. She's due to wake any minute though......:sleeping:

[Caithi]

Better stay here :detective: - feeling a weird pressure - could be gas though lol:laughing:

[rubyredlips]

V excited for you caithi!! I felt wierd the day ruby arrived - havent felt that strange before, nor have I since!

Keep us posted! Is your hub at home or close by?

[Caithi]

He works close to the hospital lol so I think I would have to meet him there! :laughing:

I think its gas - big farts:eek: lol (TMI?) But I sort of felt a "pop" / "click" feeling right inside my pelvis before when I was walking around so who knows.:yelclap:

[rubyredlips]

Which one are you going to?

[Caithi]

Mater Hospital - St Leonards I think or North Sydney lol - im never quite sure what it would be classified as.:detective:

[rubyredlips]

I cant beleive Ruby is STILL asleep - she's been in there since 8.30am!?!? She does this when we're going somewhere!!! Cant wake her as she was unsettled last night and ended up sleeping with me - which she rarley does! She had some jabs yesterday too so she could be a bit upside down......

May have to give this meet a miss! it will take a good half hour to get there.....:(

Caithi, will you drive there or cab it? Gee - I'm nervous for you!!:eek:

[Caithi]

I think I would wait here for mum and dad if it got really bad/turned into labour, however its calming down lol :eek: - maybe it was just gas.:confused: :laughing:

[rubyredlips]

Cant beat letting a few big ones go in the privacy of your own home eh!:D

[rubyredlips]

Really sorry Ive missed this but I couldnt bring myself to wake her up after and unsettled night.

If I left now I'd be there around 1.45pm........ just a tad late!

Hope you had fun! :(

Lunch then grocery shoping for us :rolleyes:

[Kirst]

Sorry guys. Ardyn crawled back into bed at about 10am, and we both did around lunchtime. I have a beautiful (not) headcold settling in, and I think that Ardyn has it too.

Much apologies.

[rubyredlips]

heck! did anyone manage to make it?? Should we raincheck??

[rubyredlips]

Get well Kirst & Ardyn!

[Kerry76]

Would love to be added to this if there is a raincheck

[Caithi]

:rolleyes: Still over-due!:eek:

[rubyredlips]

Come on Caithi! Where is that bub??? :confused:

I watched the first episode of 'Love My Way' last night - I'd never watched the show but a friend in the UK asked if I could track down the first series for her as its big over there, but she'd missed the beginning.

I was in tears like a big sook as its all about a woman in labour with her first bub (amongst other things), it was funny & moving and I thoroghly recommend it to anyone who missed out!

Gonna try and watch the rest this week before I post it to my friend!

[rubyredlips]

I reckon we need a raincheck kerry76! Any preference to when?

[Caithi]

Come on Caithi! Where is that bub??? :confused:

Wont come out lol!

[rubyredlips]

Anything happening in there Caithi? :D

[Caithi]

[Caithi]

:thumbsup: YAY!!!:yelclap:

Oooooooooooh to wear something that isnt designed around my bump, high heels ( been falling over in them lol ) and to be able to have a drink without worrying about what I am doing to my body with bump in it - cant wait!!:party:

Bring on the breast pump - I cant wait - may feel like myslef again!:yelclap:

[Caithi]

Me toooooo! :smiliedance:

[Kirst]

Have they spoken of induction yet Caithi?

[Caithi]

No but I think that he may bring it up on Monday :detective: - not sure if I want it though:confused: .... it sort of scares me a little.:o :hugs:

[babylover111]

Sorry I'm a constant watcher of this thread, just thought I'd pop in and say caithi if you hang on for another year I might even be the one that delivers it :laughing:

[Kirst]

I was induced with DD a week over. If you want to talk about it you can PM me your email or mobile or MSN, and I'm happy to talk about it.

I understand your fears. I'm hoping that I go naturally this time.

[Kirst]

Love your avatar Laura!
How's Uni treating you?

[babylover111]

Love your avatar Laura!
How's Uni treating you?

Thank you!
It's full on but pretty good, I hate the science side of it all. But it's all happening so quickly, I'll start clinical in August and apparently due to the shortage of nurses you're assigned your own patients from day one :eek:

[Caithi]

:laughing: Deal! :thumbsup: :laughing:

[Kirst]

She is beautiful!! Honestly, she has to be one of the most perfect babies I've ever seen. Congrats on the birth, I have to admit I'm a little disappointed I didn't have the chance to deliver her :( but all in good time. Kirst still has a bubba on the way :devil6:

I'd love to come to a meet if you guys name a time and place I'll do my best to get there! I hope I can have a cuddle with Anais!

[rubyredlips]

Hi Shazb! :wave: and all the other mums on the beaches!

so, Mon 28th, around 2pm ok with everyone or earlier? If shazb is on the ferry we could hang out on the harbour beach there? Who fancies a paddle?

[mm85]

yea i dont mind what we do i was thinking around 12. or 12.30 is that too early

[shazb]

lunchtime would be good for me,have to be back in the city for 4.30 ish. Only really know the wharf and the corso so directions to any where else would be good. wil check again tomorrow.xx

[rubyredlips]

Hey Ladies

We up for the beach today? Its going to be sunny so lunchtime sounds good to me......12.30?

Got your number shaz..... so whos in?

[shazb]

I am still up for it Jo, but will need to leave mid morning so do you think it will be still on, am on pc at work

[rubyredlips]

I havent heard from any of the others but I'll be down there anyway.

I'll see if I can get onto anyone else....

[shazb]

can u pm your mobile so I can text you when I get there. where shall we meet?

[mm85]

which beach??? are you guys swimming and baking or just sitting playing etc in the sand??? so i know what to bring

[shazb]

The harbour beach, I wont be swimming, just running after Alexander!!!! going to bring a few toys, will probably give him his lunch on the ferry. look forward to meeting you.

Sharon

[rubyredlips]

Aiming on just a bit of a play in the sand but Ruby usually ends up in the water! I'll be up for a paddle!

Theres plenty of shops & stuff around if you forget anything shaz - me too running after ruby! At least they cant really escape except into the harbour!

Look forward to seeing you!

So, the beach side where the ferry comes in - next to bavarian beer place.

Ruby has just gone down so fingers crossed.

[rubyredlips]

Also - my phone is out of credit :banghead: so i cant reply to any texts, but as I said, I'll be there anyhoo.
