Hello,

I'm a young mum in Canberra! What side of town are you from? I'm on the South Side.

How are you fitting in? How are things going? Have you been to the young mothers groups that are held at the youth centers? I've heard about them but I haven't been myself.

- Belly - Mother of one (23 Years old), My little princess is almost 5 months old!

[shaelerda]

finally a reply!!- i thought i might have been the only mother under 35 in canberra!
i live in calwell, i did try some mothers groups but i was the youngest by about 10 years so i didnt really have much in common with anybody- and some were really nasty!
but anyway id love to contact you sometime or vice versa so just email me or whatever

[shaelerda]

sorry- i forgot to put some details in :)
im 21 and i have 1 little boy- oskar who is six months old

Hi guys

There is an ACT thread a little further down the page if you're interested, but no-one has been on it for a while! I'm a 24 yr old mum with a 19 month old boy and number 2 due in 2 weeks! I'm south-side too, Conder. Feel free to PM me!

[Belly]

Hello again!

I'm so excited that you both live close by!! I'm in Conder as well. So I thought that maybe we could meet up at the Layon shops. I am free as a bird at the moment as I am a stay at home mum. (except for Thursday mornings)

So why don't you guy's pick a day and a time and we can meet for a coffee!

I hope to hear from you soon.

Belly

[bubbalove]

I too am a stay-at -home Mum at the moment, so any day is good for me, but if I go into labour then I won't be there ;) So what day/time is good for you guys? After lunch is generally good for us, around 1.30pm or so? Or in the mornings before about 10.30am. Let me know what suits! Lanyon sounds like a good place to meet, ice chocs at Michel's ;)

[shaelerda]

umm,sorry but is lanyon that place just south of tuggeranong?
it would be really good to meet up, at the moment im in qld with family, but ill be back in a few days ill msg again when i know when ill defineltly be able to make it- you guys should go anyway though!, but i would love to do it some other time!!

[bubbalove]

Yeah, Lanyon is south of Tuggeranong, just follow Tharwa Dr south and it's the shopping centre on your left with the Maccas. Let us know when your back and we can all catch up!

[shaelerda]

alright cool
well ill let you guys know when im back- if you could email me your email address' that would be good- other wise ill just post it on here
ive never been down that way (toward lanyon) i only went once to a mothers group but i didnt look around that much
there is another lady on the bubclub website who wants to meet for coffee so ill let her know where and when as well so we can all meet!

[Belly]

Hello again,

It sounds like you guy's have it all sorted.

Kerri-anne, When is your Bub due? What's the gosip? Was your first early or late? What hospital are you at? Who's your Ob?

Shaelerda, Let us know when you are back in town and we'll make a date! :)

Looking forward to it!

[Taylor & Lachlans Mummy]

HI, Im a 24 SAHM of 2 Taylor 2 & Lachlan 1. I would love adult conversation I am in Gordon (South Side) I would be interested in meeting people to have a coffe with. Also the YMCA at Lanyon ran a young mums group last year & Im trying to find out if they are running it this year. Once I find out I can let you all know if you wish there are about 4 of us that attended last year but the more the merrier. Other wise if they arent running it well organise our own little thing if you want.
PM me

[bubbalove]

Hey Shelly - I'm due on the 8th March, so anytime soon would be nice! Not much gossip, I'm a bit out of the social scene at the moment ;) I'm having bubba at Calvary, as it's where I work. My OB is Jakub Dreher, he's just fantastic :)

Hi Jillian - The more the merrier! What days/times are good for you?

[Taylor & Lachlans Mummy]

Yeah when ever, Im easy I can get rid of my two next week during the mornings other wise I have them, but I organise them around what I want to do.

[shaelerda]

ill be able to come on the fourteenth of march- you guys do something sooner if you cant wait! but i will be around then, so i thought we could meet at 10.30 at a coffee shop in lanyon (sorry i dont know what it would be called :))

does that sound ok to everybody?

[bubbalove]

Sounds great - except that I am due on Tuesday, and if I haven't had her by the 15th, I'm booked in for a caesar then! So if I'm out of hospital or haven't had her on the 14th, I'll be there :)

[Taylor & Lachlans Mummy]

Hi, Ill check & see if I can make it but it should be fine.
Is anyone going to the young mums group held by the YMCA Gordon? Its at Kids Rampage (Tuggeranong square-Reed Street Tuggeranong) on Tuesday (8/3). Ill be there with my 2 terrors. If any one is interested & hasnt spoken to the girls at the YMCA their details are
Zorica or Ange on 6294 4633. Should be fun & im sure there will be a few of us there. The good thing about this group it is aimed at young mums under 30 & its free.
Hope to see who ever there if not then hopefully Monday the 14th.
Jillian :)

[shaelerda]

um does anyone know what the coffee shop is called? :) because i have no idea!
so if anyone knows the area just tell me the name so i can be sure im going to the right place!!
oh and should we book or something? it looks like there will be a few of us there and how will we know who to look for?- i have blonde hair and lots of piercings so im usually pretty easy to identify :)
if any one has any ideas post them!

[bubbalove]

I think the only place to have coffee at Lanyon is at Michel's patisserie, so we shouldn't need to book. I'll be the huge pregnant one with the toddler, if I'm there ;)

[Taylor & Lachlans Mummy]

Yeah its Michells Patisserie (sp?), nah you dont need to book. Depending if I can get a bs will depend on who I have with me. I will more than likely have two darling toddlers with me. Cant miss them I more then likely be reading the riot act to them for one reason or another.

[Belly]

I'll be there - 14 March, 10.30 Lanyon!

I'll be the one with the little 5 month old girl with sooo much hair.

I called the YMCA to join the young mothers group and left a message for them. It's been over a week and they never returned my call. I'll talk to you about it tomorrow.

Shelley and Jasmine

[shaelerda]

was i at the wrong shops or what?
i went to lanyon market place and i didnt see anybody, i waited at michels and noone turned up!!
well anyway let me know what happened

[Taylor & Lachlans Mummy]

Shelly - They are meeting up at the chemist tomorrow for free photos at 11 (Layon chemist) then going to Michelles for coffee.
Sherelda - So Sorry I forgot until i got on the puter, as I said to shelly there is a young mums meeting tomorrow first at the chemist for free photos then coffee at the coffee shop.

Jillian

[Belly]

I feel terrible! I'm so so sorry. My little girl an I got the flu yesterday morning. We spent the morning getting to the doctors and the afternoon resting. I didn't have anyones details so I couldn't call you and let you know.

Jillian, Because I'm sick I won't be able to make it to the young mothers group.

So sorry once again! :(

Please forgive me and I will make plans when I'm better and give you my mobile number - so if someone can't make it we can contact each other.


Sorry :(

Shelley

[Taylor & Lachlans Mummy]

Shelly, dont worry bout it, next week we are going to kids rampage at Tuggeranong. (Zorica is trying to make it so they pay for us) I spoke to her today, she asked if you could ring her 6294 4633, she mis placed your number as the person who took the message didnt say what it was about. & she wil have a chat to you about the group & things. I hope you get better soon.

To all other young Canberra Mums, please ring & join the group its godd there are 6 of us so far with kids ranging from 2.5yrs to expecting. it is run through the YWCA so there are very rearly any costs for us & we try & do heaps of stuff for both mums & the kids. Ring Zorica at the YWCA on 6294 4633.

[bubbalove]

Hi All
I'm so sorry I didn't make it either, I had my bub in the very early hours of Monday morning! All is well, I'll post more about her later :)

Hi there

Just came accross your post just then - I know it is late but better late then never. I have just recently had twins who are now 12 weeks old and also have 3 others, Tahly 4, Jess 3 and Ben 2.

I am 25 years old and a stay at home mother who is looking to meet other mothers in the canberra area to catch up and have coffee or relax (yeah right:yes: ) while the kids play.

Have just sold our house in Dunlop and looking to move over to the south side (found 2 houses we like - one in Banks and the other in Kambah)

If you guys would be interested in meeting please drop me line - would love to meet you all!:thumbsup:
If I dont speak to you all before - have a great, safe christmas and new years.:tree:
