Yay! Another mum at Seaton! Yeh, definitely have to catch up. Maybe we can go down to Wiggly Worms sometime (unless you know of another play-cafe in western suburbs -- i'm still newish) so Jake can be kept busy while I coo over Julian! :o

[Kari_Adel]

Hi there My2Boys0917 and flowerpot21 :wave:
Hope you're having a good day..
I'm arranging a meet-up down at Marion with some of the southern mums.. If Marion isn't too far to travel you're more than welcome to come!

Details are:

BubHub Mums Meet-Up
Hocus Pocus Play-Cafe
Westfield Marion (Level 2, opp Cinema entrance)
Friday 28 July
meet = 10:30am

If you cant make this one.. don't worry too much.. if we westerners want we can always arrange to meet up at Glenelg Wiggly Worms or a play-cafe closer to Port Adelaide etc (I'm still not familiar with any others near Western suburbs so pls feel free to suggest some locations.....)

:kiss:

[BlessedWithBlue]

Hiya!! I'm not too good when it comes to directions i would probably get myself frightfully lost half way to Marion lol:o Would love it if we could arrange something a little closer to home for us westerners though, i don't always have the car so i'm all up for it being a bit closer to home ;) i will have a look around tonight for somewhere suitable fo the kiddies if you want???

[flowerpot21]

hi
shame, i can't do tomorrow.. maybe another time or if there's enough interest in a western suburbs meet then that would be cool too! :yes:

[Kari_Adel]

We'll organise a get-together sometime at Wiggly Worms (its the only one I know of in western suburbs but if u know of another.. pls say..)

WW is great for kids 2yo+ but expensive at $6.50ea to get in.
Rylen, Kyen and Jake would have a great time though..

flowerpot21 your 5mo shouldn't cost much to get in, if any.. I'd hope not..

What day suits you?

WED, THU and FRI would be best for me at this stage.. :yes:

[BlessedWithBlue]

Wiggly worms sounds good! Friday suits us the best but i don't mind although at the moment we only have one car so it's a bit difficult for us for the next two weeks at least. And i actually have a pretty good idea of where it is ;) as i am usually hopeless with directions lol. My df works afternoon shifts so it's usually busy for us before 1pm but Fridays he goes to work early so it's a bit easier for us then. Jake is only just over a month younger than Rylen so they will get along great!! We have never been there but i'm sure the kids would love it :D ( I also know another mum who is a westerner and one of df's friends and has a 2 1/2 yr old and a newborn that may like to come too!!)

:thumbsup:

Friday sounds like the day so far.. however I'm booked out next week (a one-off) so that wont work. Then the week after that is the MUMMYTIME get-together at the Botanic Gardens Cafe in the city (Thu 10 Aug) see link http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=26313&page=6 and scroll down to Charlie's post.

So perhaps we'll arrange a date after then so we're not overwhelming ourselves?

(I also know another mum who is a westerner and one of df's friends and has a 2 1/2 yr old and a newborn that may like to come too!!)

Bring them along too! The more the merrier! :laughing:

Sounds good!!! She is newbie bubhubber I will find out if she would like to come!!

[Kari_Adel]

Change of plan.. my original committment for this Friday is no longer on..

So I'd be up for a Wiggly Worms meet if anyone else is..? Doesn't have to be a huge turn-out.. I'll probably be there either way?

:smiliedance:

Friday, 4th August 10:30am

How does that sound?

:yelclap: Hands up.. who's interested?

[Justin&Beckfirstbub]

Hi Guys,

Sorry it takes me ages to reply. I can not always get to my computer!

My hubby and I are sharing a car while we wait for his new car to arrive, so I am a little limited in where I can get to at the moment.......

By the middle of September I will have a car all to myself and then I can meet you all any time any place!!:)

Kari - You my friend are in walking distance (being in the same suburb and all) Just PM me if you would like to catch up. I would love to meet you and little Jake! In response to your question there will be just 11 months between Julian and the new bub arriving! I find out the sex on the 15th of this month so I am very excited!!!:smiliedance: Are you studying to be a midwife at the moment?

Have a good day everyone.

Love Beck and Julian xxxx

Yay! I'll pm you!

Love Beck and Julian xxxx

Find out the sex in a cpl of weeks? Oooooh how exciting! Yay! 11mths between the two YIKES! Jake is nearly 3 and I don't know how I'd cope with another! :laughing:

Not studying midwifery yet.. I'm currently studying community services work at TAFE just to warm me up for study and Jake for care. I didn't want to jump in the deep end at uni.. baby steps.. hehehehe less likely to poo my pants and wave the surrender flag that way!:rolleyes: Hopefully next year I'll be ready.. :fingerscrossed:

[Kari_Adel]

:gloomy:

CHANGED MY MIND..

I won't be at Wiggly Worms.. and no-one else by the looks of things hehehehehe!

Jake's sleeping at Daddy's tonight so I might take advantage of tomorrow morning and aim for a long overdue sleep-in!

:fingerscrossed: no one knocks on my door.. I WILL remember to turn my phone off! hehe

See you all next week at the Botanic meet-up :hugs:

[BlessedWithBlue]

just saw this lol, we have had a hectic morning picking df's dad up from the airport but he caught a later flight and we had to leave df's mum and brother at the airport still waiting for him to get in:eek: so we wouldn't have made it either!! enjoy your sleep in! we had been there since 9am and it's now 1pm so i hope his flight has arrived ;)

[Kari_Adel]

What a crazy morning for you!

Yeh, no-one else had logged in to say they might come to WW so I figured I deserved a lazy morning in bed.. with a movie.

THAT was the ONLY relaxing part of the day!

Later this arvo, I dropped my car off to have tyres replaced.. there was an hour wait so I'd arranged other transport etc in the meantime. I left.. and returned the hour later to find that.. when giving them my car key (for them to move car from the street) I forgot to GIVE THEM THE IMMOBILISER REMOTE! Oooooop!

To make matters worse.. they tried to call my mobile and soon heard my Barina ringing :o my phone had rolled out of my handbag and under my seat!

After overcoming this embarrassment, and apologising for the poor staff who decided to PUSH my car into the workshop :eek: -- I went to start my car..

BATTERY DEAD!

They'd left a door ajar and interior light was on! Thankfully it was soon solved thanks to a jump start!

I don't think I'll be showing MY face in there ever again!

:banghead:

[Kari_Adel]

:wave:

Coooo-eeeee to all my fellow westerners! Bit quiet around here lately..
Had a quiet weekend.. aaah so lazy.. after a hectic week and but of r&r is well deserved. If you can call r&r catching up on chores, errands :rolleyes: and finally sneaking onto bubhub to say HIYA while DS has a brief snooze on the couch..

Week 2 of TAFE tomorrow.. I'm very excited about my Monday morning class. Has a very strict and structured course outline, and I love that idea. Too much freedom and I forget deadlines quickly amongst all the home drama! A bit of dependability and routine is very welcome! :laughing: Although not everyone there would agree..

[Kari_Adel]

I find out the sex on the 15th of this month so I am very excited!!!

Ooooh counting down now! :smiliedance:

[~EmsMum~]

how are you finding tafe Kari

[Kari_Adel]

how are you finding tafe Kari

I'm loving it. I was soooooo nervous about resuming study.. well anything for that matter as I had been a full-time SAHM until TAFE started earlier this year (Jake was 2 and a half).

But its a gentle transition back into "civilisation" :laughing: and nice to have my own things to do ie assignments, deadlines, goals etc.

I'm doing a Cert 3 Community Services Work, which is basically a stepping stone into anything community-related: ie nursing, aged care, mental health, social work, youth and family support etc.

Next year I hope to study at Flinders Uni if I'm ready :fingerscrossed: .. if not I'll just take on some extra TAFE subjects or get my Cert 4 until I feel ready..

[~EmsMum~]

oh wow thats scary!!!

I plan on doing a cert 2 next year in community services!!!!!

I might be asking you for plenty of advice :D

[Kari_Adel]

No worries babe.. I'm a hoarder so I'll definitely have all my paperwork haha!

I wouldn't recommend taking on too much external work to start off with (you can always order external subject packages later) -- I've just struggled to complete the two subjects I opted to do externally. I much prefer doing them on site, in class with other ppl. More support from your lecturers and peers.. and more confidence building. Also, community services classes involve alot of group discussion, ideas and group work so its gets a bit lonely and confusing at home alone :( . But if you start up and find you want more.. you could always opt for external subjects then.. you can enrol anytime..

:fingerscrossed: Hope that helps!

[~EmsMum~]

ill be doing my cert 2 thru adult re entry :)

im thinking of doing it just part time due to childcare etc

WOOHOO!!!!! TWINS

How amazingly exciting for you.
Well Done matey I am so excited for you.

Awww thanks hon, getting used to the idea now! and getting very excited but i'm rather nervous too lol. Looks like i may be calling on you for some words of advice lol !!! Can i ask which hospital you gave birth to your twins in?? I have no choice but to go to the WCH because the LMHS is too far and the QEH don't deliver. I didn't have such a great experience at the WCH when i had my ds#2 and i'm a little worried.

[anak]

Ok I am all ears....LOL
What sort of things are you worried about??/
PM me if you want.
I am so excited for you!!!!
Twins are just lovely!:yelclap:
Mine were born at the Queen Victoria Hospital which is now closed.
You must remember that no 2 births are ever the same. I have attended many and I dont think I have ever seen 2 that have followed the same path and of course this one will be completely different altogether, so I envisage good vibes for you....
I am here if you need!!

[Kari_Adel]

Twins are just lovely!:yelclap:

Yay for Rachael! Twins.. awwwww how sweet! And how LESS likely to cooperative when delivery day comes around! :laughing: You'll do great! A baby is a miracle -- two at a time is incredible!!

[BlessedWithBlue]

[~EmsMum~]

rach - did u have a feeling you were having twins or was it just one big shock to the system

[BlessedWithBlue]

rach - did u have a feeling you were having twins or was it just one big shock to the system

It was one big massive shock to the system, this was meant to be our last bub and df was against having any more than 3:eek: (He is excited now though lol) I tell ya if i wasn't laying down when the sonographer told us i would have fallen down!!! The only thing that was different than my first two pregnancies was that my morning sickness was more severe but other than that i wouldn't have known -oh and i had a dream a few days before my ultrasound that i gave birth to boy/girl twins but i didn't take any notice of that lol.

[Kari_Adel]

Hey Rach, are you due for your 19wk u/s soon? (too slack to do the maths! :p ) Will you be finding out the sex of the babies?? Identical or not?? etc..

[~EmsMum~]

We are actually cheating and having a 3D at 17 weeks to determine their genders just cause i'm SO impatient lol so it is on Sept 16th- another 3 weeks now and it seems like it's taking forever to come around :o My 19 week is scheduled for Sept 28th!! They are fraternal so we could have one of each or two of the same!!

Hi Van :wave:

I'm in western suburbs.. and always keen to catch up with other young mums if the schedules ever match!

I am full-time mum to my son Jake, study part-time at TAFE, and work a couple of shifts a week from a promo company for some spare $$ (which we need desperately at times :( )

Also, been doing a bit of modelling (freelance) as I want to eventually be a professional photographer... and find being on the other side of the lends a great experience, and the networking now will certainly pay off in future. Have a look www.freewebs.com/kari_online (http://www.freewebs.com/kari_online) its supposed to be my professional site to gain more work.. but really its more so my family can log in and download piccies hahahahaha!

Talk soon!
