you know what i havent really gotten to know anyone here, so i figured we should have a chat area to get to know each other better:D , that way we might be more inclined to meet:o

my names bronwen and im 25, i live in denman and am soon to be the mother of 3:eek:
while i have never gone to any mothers meet up and play things, i do love to cut loose and do something stupid like karaoke after a few drinks....who doesnt:confused:

im not your typical looking mum.....except that im rarely dressed before midday.

ok so lets share some stuff about ourselves and chat in here from time to time...if you want to that is

Hi all....
I am Kylie, am 34 and I live in a little ramshackle house in Greta. Have 5 kids, obviously, and never seem to get out except for kids running around, school, pre-school, early intervention, etc. :thumbsdown:
Have tried to organise a get together for other hunter mums, but so far it keeps going pear shaped...will haapen one day though, I am sure!
Look forward to hearing from all the other hunter mums out there...:D

Hi Girls,
Im Ashlea and My DD is Lorelei she is 8 months old, we live in Wallalong which is 15 minutes from Maitland. I don't get out much and im going insane would be great to have adult company and get out and do somethings.

Roopee

12-09-2006, 09:41

:D so it looks like we have one thing in common, we dont really get out of the house unless it has something to do with the kids:D

i should probably start picking up tips from you on how to stay sane with 3 kids....:p

I never said i was sane:laughing:

Seriously, the third one just slots in IYKWIM. Its not too hard at all, however saying that- i have just had all three down with a vomiting virus-thats was fun NOT. Its really hard when their all sick at the same time but other than that not that hard. It is tiring though, by the time they go to bed im not far behind them.
Ask me how i cope when i have 4 NOW thats gunna be a challenge.

im not your typical looking mum.....except that im rarely dressed before midday.

LOL :laughing:

Um, I've only just come across these threads, I live in Tenambit and have just fallen with my first bub :D I'm happy to chat online for now, my husband and I both work fulltime atm.

I've just turned 29, DH is 36, all my family live locally & are closeknit, hubby's parents divorced and his family is spread out over Australia :( But my family have adopted him as their own.

I am an ebay addict, am into music, metaphysical and am also a SIMS2 addict (computer game).

I'm looking forward to talk to you all and finding out information about our local services. I've decided to do shared care with my GP (Toni Kesby) and Maitland Public.

Looks like alot of you already have kids so I can get some good advice from you! :yelclap:

Does anyone know if Bronny has had her bub yet? I read somewhere that she was due yesterday?

lizzymcfizzy

12-09-2006, 14:51

Kylie, I can't really see your avatar to work out if you are a Kylie I know, did you ever work at Orica in Kurri?

12-09-2006, 20:17

Hi my name is Mandy :wave:
I am 25 & married with 2 precious little ones, Harry is 3 & Amy is 11 months.
I live at Tarro & would enjoy meeting up with other mothers who need some adult interaction!!
My niece put me onto bubhuh (Ashlea+Lorelei) & I love it.

BTW Lizzie, I had Dr Kesby for both of my pregnancies, she is a wonderful Dr, you are in good hands with her.

mummyof5

14-09-2006, 19:57

Good to see some more Hunter mums on this here thread...

LizzycFizzy, I'm not your Kylie, have only lived here for 6 months...love it though.
Bron, read your other thread about being induced on Tuesday, if you haven't had baby before then, how exciting:yelclap: .

I am so jelous, I would so love another little bubba!! By the way, where are you having her? Is it Singleton? My friend had her baby there last month, and they were lovely, and she was the only one in maternity, so she got lots of attention:)

We will have to have a get together sometime soon, I would love to put some faces with the names on this site:D

Thanks Mandy thats great to hear. I've only been seeing her for about 6 months prior. She's pretty relaxed which worried me but I think thats probably a good thing! Shes a lovely person.

Bronny thats so nice you could all be born in the same place :) Kind of a family tradition :D

mummyof5

15-09-2006, 19:32

Luisa

20-09-2006, 15:22

Hi all.

I am Luisa and I have 3 boys Isaac (4), Malachi (2), and Joshua (1). We live in Newcastle its self!

I am not your average mum as I have found the more babies I have the easier it is :eek: Yes I know.... I am STRANGE!!!!

We moved to Newcastle about 6mths ago from Perth where we lived for almost 3 yrs and b4 that we were in the UK! (Dont ask my husband has a strange job!:o )

I must also be strange as I dont really seem to spend much time at home, the boys and I always try to do something most days even if its shopping with a friend!

Neway enough of me......

mummyof5

22-09-2006, 10:54

Hi Luisa,
I'm with you, apart from the increase of tasks (washing, cooking, etc), I think more is easier too:D .
Sounds like you and the kids have ahd a very interesting time of it...my tribe have done a bit of moving around too, here for a while now though.:fingerscrossed:
Looking forward to getting a catchup session together soon, for all of us, maybe once Bron is a bit more mobile....:yes:

Hi, My name is Ange and im due to be a mum in January! I live in Newcastle as well and am going to be a single parent, although bubbys dad is being supportive.

I spend most of my time trying to fight climate change and preserve the planet. Since falling pregnant i have found this all the more important and i have a strange sense of urgency about me now.

Its my 22nd birthday tomorrow!

Hope y'all well..

Hi there,

New to this but not new to being a parent. My DS is nearly two and I am pulling my hair out trying to think of new things to do everyday. DP works and we only have one car. Can anyone give me some ideas?

A get together of hunter mums would be great, Im from Beresfield and there isnt much to do around here.

Hope to chat soon!!

Hi,

another Hunter mum here!

I'm near Maitland.
Would be so cool to have a group meet up one time with our pregnant beelies and/or babies & children.

I have two girls, one 2.5 yrs, the other 4 months.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Alikatt

28-10-2006, 20:35

Hi Lizzy,

We have alot in common you know? I go to Dr Kesby too, she is a great doc...and im sure that i also done shared care. Congrats on your long awaited pregnancy. Oh and I also like to play Sims2 but i cant help but cheat. I live in Beresfield and I am a SAHM of a almost 2yr old boy.

Hi hunter girls!

would anyone be interested in trying to get together for a playdate? It has been done before unsuccessfully, but hopefully something can be organised this time.

Just PM if you're interested or you can add me to msn :

hi, I'm having the bub at Maitland Public, its only 20 minutes away from me.

Good to hear so many people recommending Dr Kesby! I had my first "booking in appointment" with the hospital last week and the midwife said I had to come back and see an OB who will tell me if I can do shared care or if I had to see them all the time. (I have high BP) So fingers crossed I can still see Kesby but I don't think it would be a bad idea for the OBs to keep a close eye on me.

I spend most of my time trying to fight climate change and preserve the planet. Since falling pregnant i have found this all the more important and i have a strange sense of urgency about me now.

Have you seen the Greenpeace Walk against Warming (www.walkagainstwarming.com.au) planned for this Saturday? I planned to go to the Maitland one but have started to suffer from terrible backpain so I don't know if I can make it.

Hi Lizzy,

We have alot in common you know? I go to Dr Kesby too, she is a great doc...and im sure that i also done shared care. Congrats on your long awaited pregnancy. Oh and I also like to play Sims2 but i cant help but cheat. I live in Beresfield and I am a SAHM of a almost 2yr old boy.

Hi Alikatt! Nice to meet a likeminded person :) I couldn't play the sims without cheats either! :D boring! Have you visited sexysims.com ? rrowwollll.

I'd love to meet up with everyone but have my hands full at the moment just being pregnant and working! I had no idea I had to do so much.
God knows what its going to be like when I've had the baby! Christmas is coming too and we are painting the whole inside of the house.

BUT excuses aside, I'd like to know when the next meet up is arranged and I'll try to make it if its on a weekend.

Shanaynay

04-11-2006, 16:45

Hey LizzyMcFizzy,

I had both my bubs at Maitland :)

I'd love a meetup............who else is interested? We could organise a date and rough place, then PM for excat time and place??

Hey Wondermum!
Two boys... I have two girls :angel:

mummyof5 - do you get lonely while DH is away for so long? Or do all the kiddies keep you too busy!!!

Afternoon all. I am a former Hunter gurl and will be moving back there in 9 weeks. My family is all in Singleton and I will be taking my new DH, DD'S X 2 plus my new scrumy little son. I am really interested in a meet or playgroup or something like that. With summer coming up, the beach would be a great place...
Take care Rian

17-11-2006, 18:58

Hi everyone,
Lots of posts on here since I last checked:thumbsup: .

I think it's time we all stopped posting about it, and actually organised that coffee/play date/picnic - whatever....A Monday or Tuesday would work best for me, but am open to the mornings of the other days. There is a play place at Maitland that I know of, haven''t been there though, or Maitland park. So let's get some suggestions going, then we'll do the PM thing if there is enough interest!!

Phineus in answer to your question, DH is not away yet, bl**dy Navy still getting the paper work signed off, but :fingerscrossed: he should be starting next week!!!The ship he is posting onto is in refit, so he will only be gone for a few days at a time (staying in Sydney). Kids do keep me pretty flat out, but it's a bit lonely in the evening, thank god for getting on here, it saves my sanity!!:yelclap:

I look forward to some input, and thoughts from you all. Oh and a big welcome to all the newbies!!!:D

Hi Rian...:wave:

I can not wait. All my family is in Singleton. It is so boring up here on the Mid North Coast....

We have found a house and Dh was offered a job so it looks like all systems go :smiliedance:

Shanaynay

18-11-2006, 14:08

That's great Rian that your DH has been offered a job already! We live in Maitland but my DH works in Singleton.
So when do you think you'll be moving?

*sigh* isn't it just beautiful weather here in the hunter today! so lovely......
does anyone ever go to the maitland markets?
tomorrow I'm going with MIL and my SIL. Going to get bub a rocking horse for xmas :D

mum2mady

19-11-2006, 19:39

Hi i have been around abit before but not really much i saw a few of the girls are around wallsend area i am in maryland and i would love to meet up sometime.

I mainly heng around this site as they hve a few more meets in the newcastle http://members.*************.com.au/index.php?showforum=18

I think dee is on this site as well but i wouldnt mind meeting a few bub hub mums to.

My msn addy if anyone wants to chat is hsvclubsportchick81@hotmail.com

from Tracey

Wondermum

19-11-2006, 21:01

Oh boy lots of activity in hear of late.

Tracey thanks for the PM - I've sent you a reply.

I'd love to meet some new mums, but I just feel a bit strange meeting people over the net that I don't know, IYNWIM :o or maybe I'm just a little strange (think I've been socialising with children too long, lol! I'm not really strange tho :D

WARNING I have a new baby and a terrible toddler :eek:

I'm the same... whilst I would love to meet some new people there is always that sense of apprehension...

mum2mady

20-11-2006, 09:11

I was like that myself the first time. But the groups i first met everyone had to have a balloon on there pram either pink or blue i think it was and well i was sort of like well i can always walk away as it was charlestown square but i ended up staying and i am pretty happy i did now.

also i did the scariest thing i have done in the world i was so scared but it turned out alright i was home by myself and i let someone from ebay do a pick up but in the end it was fine but i think i might do it for one thing only more as it is a wedding dress i dont like to keep things i know i am mad but if it stays i say it just attracts dust lol.

Me and dh are trying for number 2 now its going to be really weird i think. Madison is 19 months now and she is abit wild but not to bad she likes the odd tantrum but hopefully soon we should have another child i am looking forward to having a boy but it really doesnt bother me because if we have a girl i can still use my pink stroller lol thats my symbol.

20-11-2006, 09:46

how about the bubhub pink ribbons?

Shanaynay

20-11-2006, 12:52

I don't have a bubhub pink ribbon!
But I do have a pink pram, so I can use that :D

I would love a meet up! I understand why some of you guys are nervous though - I met someone from another site before, and I was sooooo nervous, to the point of almost not going :o
But it was so fantastic and I'm so happy I did now!

So who is interested? I am! Uni lectures have finished for the semester so I am soooooo bored!

Wondermum - I have 4 month old and a terrible toddler too!

mummyof5

20-11-2006, 13:21

Don't worry girls I have a developmently delayed, soially challanged 3 year old, his not quite as feral 1 year old sister, not to mention Miss Know-it-all, who is 4!!:D Wouldn't swap them though...well not today anyway!
Are you mums closer to Newcastle all able to drive, cause if so, we could meet up somewhere between Maitland and Newcastle. Need suggestions here ladies, as I am not really familiar with all the good spots...but have street directory, will travel!!!
So lets all swallow our nerves, and do it:smiliedance:
Phineas, I have a spare bubhub ribbon you can have if you want it.

Wondermum

20-11-2006, 14:27

I don't have a pink ribbon yet either or anything pink as I only have BOYS, but I'm sure that wont matter, if I get scared I can always run off without anyone knowing :D

I will try and come up with some :idea: tonight mummyof5.

Gumby

20-11-2006, 14:32

Oh oh, you guys will have to have one when i come down too :D i have LOTS of pink ribbons.......lol

petrijack

20-11-2006, 14:33

Wow! There has been some posts in here in the past few days...

I would be in for a meet up. I have met Mums from net before so can understand the apprehension. Its never easy meeting new people. I am still quite shy about it.

But I have met Tracey (mum2mady) before :wave: Hello Tracey :p

Wondermum - i also have a terrible toddler! plus a not-so-terrible 10 month old.

Suggestions Maitland area:

*Maitland Park
*Bugalugs Play Centre - have to pay but good if its a hot day.

Rian-just had a look at your pic of engagement ring...that is gorgeous!!!

Shanaynay

20-11-2006, 14:37

Rian - do you know exactly when you are moving down?

mummyof5

20-11-2006, 19:10

Hi all,
it's been busy on here today. I was thinking of closer to Newcastle to make it fairer to the other mums, but Maitland Park is cool with me. Less travel time:D .

Rian,
Your pics are sooo cute. Love that ring and you make gorgeous kiddies...

20-11-2006, 20:09

Hi

Well i have just finished work and i am stuffed and so hungry i could eat a horse i dont know whats wrong with me we are ttc number 2 but dont think i would be pregnant yet cause we only started a week ago i am thinking i am just ovulating. I am so looking forward to be ovualating when i am pregnant this will be our last baby definately. So i think i shall baby this one.

I was going to suggest we do a copy and paste of this.

What days are best for u to meet?

What is the best time to meet?

Name some places that u are local to and would like to meet?

Also just wondering for those interested in meets maybe we could do a roster so that everyone gets to pick once a week or something. Its only a suggestion just incase people feel left out and i know like sometimes our kids maybe in daycare or we work somedays.

well i am just downloading the new itunes thing and i think i am raving on abit so i better go.

a big hello to dee as well!!!!!!

from Tracey:ecomcity:

Shanaynay

20-11-2006, 20:49

What days are best for u to meet?

Any day but Wednesday usually, but I do have Uni exams coming up... so I'd have to let you know.

What is the best time to meet?

Anytime for me, but the earlier the better.

Name some places that u are local to and would like to meet?

Well I live in Maitland but will travel anywhere. Maitland Park is good, but I think maybe too far for the Newie girls... um, Blackbutt Reserve? Foreshore Park? Can't really think of anywhere at the moment!

Veritas

20-11-2006, 20:54

I'm pretty much fine with any day, any time, any where.... not sure I could do weekly though.... just not that organised... :laughing:

Wondermum

20-11-2006, 20:55

Back with some ideas of places around the Hunter/ Newcastle that would be great for us and the kiddies are:

Blackbutt Reserve (Kotara)

Newcastle foreshore park

Maitland park

Speers Point Park

Warners Bay Park

There is also a great playground between Western and Abermain.

Oakvale Farm (special outing)

I am a driver too.

There are also a few local girls in my September mums and bubs thread that may be interested too. They are located over the Lake Macquarie end.

I don't mean to be rude but isn't there seperate Central Coast and Newcastle groups?

If so then it would be best if we could meet where the majority of mums are, from what I can tell that ranges from Denman/Singleton to East Maitland?

Why don't we start a thread with everyones location so we can pick the best spot?

Hi Liz,

Yes, there is a separate CC and HR thread. I think those ladies that are located slightly further away to where the majority of us are wouldn't mind going out of their way slightly to meet? Just an assumption based on their interest in this particular thread I guess. I know some of us chat regularly in certain group threads and would like the opportunity to meet up.

As for the suggestion on a location thread. I was onto this the other day and have just submitted it through.

Now to narrow things down ???

MrsTwith3

23-11-2006, 18:51

No Liz your not being rude. I understand that the meet up will be up in the Hunter area and I never said anything about it being down my neck of the woods. Where I live is irrelevant as I am really looking forward to meeting up with some fantastic women whom I have shared my pregnancy and now all the little and not so little things about my expanding family with.
Thanks for keeping me updated Jess. You have done a fantastic job with the location thread.Well Done my friend.:thumbsup:

Hi girls

Wow! This thread has just exploded!!

I have been MIA for a while. My DS1 Jack ended up in Maitland hospital last Thurs night after having a seizure. He had 2 more Fri morn then a big 35 min one and was transferred to JHH. He has been diagnosed with Epilepsy and is now on meds.

Anyway, for those i haven't 'met', I'm Dee. I live in Thornton and have 2 boys.

Has a meet been organised??

Thats it from me for now

Shanaynay

30-11-2006, 22:43

Dee, omg! Has it settled down Will the epilepsy be able to be controlled well? :hugs: must be a very stressful time for you.

I'll re-introduce myself...I'm Zoe and live in Maitland with two girls, 2.5yrs and 5 months.

And nope, we haven't organised a meet yet but when one does get organised I'm in it :thumbsup:

petrijack

01-12-2006, 07:47

Hi Zoe

He is doing much better now and is going well with the meds. Hopefully it should be controlled with the meds and no more seizures.

I'm keen for the meet too!

petrijack

05-12-2006, 15:05

Hmm, thought i posted a reply days ago but it seems to have disappeared. :confused:

ETA: ok, now its there. Strange..very strange!! :confused: :confused:

Anyway...

Hi Zoe,

Jack has been doing really well on the meds. He hasn't had any side effects or any more seizures so hopefully the epilepsy is under control.

I'm up for a meet when one is organised too.

We are off on holidays for a week in QLD. I am so looking forward to it. Its been ages since we have had a break and its much needed.

Areca

05-12-2006, 15:25

Hi everyone, Cessnock here! I have one DS who is 13 months. Did the meetup end up happening? If so, how did it go? I don't drive (yet) so it makes things a bit hard here in the Hunter. I do have my L's though so hopefully it won't be long! I'm going to PM some of you mamas now....

mummyof5

11-12-2006, 21:00

Since we all live in and around the hunter valley, we should get together a couple of months into the new year and hire one of those buses for the day - do the winery thing (this is where we need the staggering dunk emoticon:laughing: ). What do you think???

Shanaynay

12-12-2006, 06:49

yeah! lol. nothing better than a bus full of drunk mummies have escaped the kids for the day :laughing:
now........to work out how to get naughty little bubba to take a bottle.......:detective:

so how is everyone? how HOT was it yesterday, it was horrible. we don't have airconditioning but the house stays fairly cool thank god.

rian, hope the move is going ok! would love a meet up once you get down here and settled.

ok well, at the moment i am one very stressed out uni student... i have one exam and two assignments to go.... and then i will officially be a SAHM :smiliedance:
i'm very excited as it's the first time of being a SAHM since i started having babies 3 years ago!
well, i've always been there as uni only takes you away a few hours a week, but the stress etc... was just piling up and i am very relieved!

okie dokie enough of me crapping on! :hugs: to everyone

Hi Hunter Mummies

I'm hoping that you can help. I grew up on Lake Macquarie but left to move to Sydney many years ago.

I've just found out through work that I've got a transfer to our new branch at Beresfield in March next year.

I'm just wanting some advice on areas to look for housing. We will be renting when we first move so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'll also be needing recommendations for things like swimming lessons, GP's etc.

Thanks in advance.

HI everyone,

Just thought I'd better post in here. I'm Karena, mother to Harry 2.8 years. I'm an Early Childhood teacher working in a Pre-School room in a long day care centre. I'm married to Nick and have been for 9 years now. As you can see from my sig we have been working on #2 for a while now, but it's not happening.

We live in Warabrook and hope to meet up with you all soon.
