So I broadened my horizons the other day with a drive to Westy land for coffee and met a very lovely Peachy and a gorgeous Lauren . I will definitely come to another but as it is quite a hike from the end of the Peninsular to West Auckland, I was wondering if there is anybody on or around the North Shore/Whangaparaoa areas that might be interested in getting together for the odd coffee and chat on a regularish basis?  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Wow Jo, how did you become nearly 17 weeks pregnant already! Feels like yesterday that you announced it
Sounds great though. Would you be interested in getting together perhaps on a weekend in the meantime though? I know there are a few other mums that are now working full time again (ahem SB) and this might give them the chance to come along too ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi Jen welcome to Oh baby should we just arrange a time in the next couple of weeks and see who can show up? since it is such nice weather (cross your fingers it continues) maybe we could meet up in a park or somewhere so the kids can run/crawl/roll around???? ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Hi Jen and welcome to OB - we would love if you would join us :)
That sounds like a great idea Jillian. We can either do a weekday or weekend depending what is better for people. Only thing is that our weekends are pretty busy for the next month or so. I would be happy to meet up in the next week or so on anyday but Friday (swimming lessons). We could meet up at Long Bay if anybody else is keen :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Long Bay sounds good- haven't been there for ages. If it suits everyone a weekday might be better for the first meet up- Mon,Wed or Thurs's are fine with me. Bear in mind Mon 28th and Wed 6th are public holidays, so maybe not on those days ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Snap, Mon, Wed or Thu are good for me - would have to be a morning though because I start work at 1pm. Obviously my bub won't be running around but I have a friend with an 11 month old so might ask her if she'd like to come if that's ok? -------------

We are always available anytime for adult conversation :) Shall we meet down by the playground at Long bay? I don't really care where so long as we can find a shady spot for Miss Grouchy pants to play in. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi There,
I have just joined ohbaby and saw this message thread. I have 2 girls, Mia is nearly 4 and Neve is 4 months. My ante natal coffee group folder early on (saddly) but I am always keen to meet other Mums - always good to have people to talk and have coffee at the park etc with. I live in Rothesay Bay on the Shore so anyone keen to meet up around that area let me know. Probably Fri morning is good for me - let me know.

OK, so lets plan this
Welcome Linus1971, we are always happy to have another Mum join the ranks
So how about Friday morning around 11am? Sound ok? I would do earlier, but Sam has swimming at 10am in Albany. Any requests for location this time? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi There,
Sorry, I have been flat out and have been doing a bit of work to keep me sane! How about next Wednesay midday for picnic lunch.... Rothesay Bay is just down the road from us and its a really safe and fairly quite park if anyone is keen. I have 2 daughters aged 4 months (Neve) and nearly 4 (Mia). Let me know if anyone can make it. Lissa

Hi There,
I am working on Tues but I will be going to Rothesay Bay with my neighbour and our kids this coming Wed for picnic lunch (weather permitting) so if anyone can make it would be great - 12.15ish (we have dancing in Browns Bay until 11.50am). See you there :) |

hi again,
Well the weather is going to be against us tomorrow so I think we will have to postpone our park/beach outing. Will be in touch when we come back from our holiday in Australia - away for 2 weeks! Hope you and your families are all well
