Hi there
I was just wondering whether there were any other 1st time Mums-to-be in Wellington City, around my age (29), who might like to meet up and make friends? I'm due January 2010, originally from the UK (been here a year). Hope to meet you

I went in and waited at the entrance ... talk about chaos !!
maybe we need to re-think the venue.. somewhere less busy and without millions of children !!! also something to identify ourselves.... how about a smaller cafe and we all wear a flower pinned to our coat ?? that could work... What about an early evening meet up too ?? 5pm on a weeknight ??? Ideas ladies |

Ahh, I posted on the other thread too - I was there too but totally agree, it was insanely busy, not the best place to meet people who you don't know! Yep a small cafe somewhere quiet sounds good, would prefer a Saturday/weekend to weeknight (just cos I'm so tired at the mo) but will fit in with others best I can!!
How about the new Espressoholic on Cuba Street - I've heard its fab. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

How about we set a new date/venue, I'll kick it off: Saturday 25 July (or 1 August if next weekend is too soon) 11.00am Espressoholic, Cuba Street (the old Dorothys Cake shop) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm definitly interested in a meet up. I live in town off Cuba, am 30, and pregnant for the first time. I'm from America and have been here a year and a half this time. I would really like to be able to connect with other people in the area :)
Thanks, Keb |

If you guys are keen to have a meet up in Wellington, but not in the city. I started a thread about Northern Suburbs meet ups. So after we have our one tomorrow. If we plan another one, keep a look out on that thread if you don't mind maybe meeting at suburbs just out of the city. Tomorrows one is in J'ville. And next one I am open to where that can be. But I find suburbs less stress and more chilled then town meet ups. Oh yes and 1 big plus, free parking, so more money for food -------------
