I am in the process of arranging details for the OHbaby! Mega Meet Up which is going to be Labour Weekend in Wellington. At this stage it looks like OHbaby! is going to put on a lunch for everyone who attends, I am going to be in touch with some of our Wellington Mum's this week to check out possible venues (we're thinking along the lines of Lollipops, Chipmunks etc. so the kids can run riot).
So I need an approximate number. How many people are DEFINITELY going, and how many are PROBABLY going? -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
 (02/01/06)
The Gremlins:Sienna Marie & Mercedes Kailah (14/10/06)
Lil miss:Chiara Louise Chloe (09/07/08)
Her ladyship:Rosalia Sophie Anais (18/06/12)

I'm definitely not coming 
Nat's been asked to be a groomsman that weekend, and I'm probably going to be helping out behind the scenes. Have fun everyone! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

If we need a baby sitter i'm sure I could talk my sister into doing it. She is a nanny in Wellington so is qualified to do it. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Great idea! Willie is definitely NOT coming and the only way I can fly is if I piggy back one of the gremlins onto somebody else as you can only have one infant per adult. I talked briefly to Toni about it and I think she's keen to go as a group as well? I'm looking at hiring a people mover when we get there too so I'll have transport, so will be able to take a few extras in the car as well. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Emma - It might be an idea to do an (online?) registration form to confirm numbers. I know that this is how school reunions are organised etc. and there is always a cut off date so that the organisers have time to well.. organise everything.. What do you guys think?
BTW - I've decided I'm in, little baby or not, Peter will have to come over to babysit hehehehe ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm coming, trying to convince hubby to come to wellington with me so he can help look after the kids. I am so looking forward to putting live faces to login names. I hope there will be name tags so I am hopeless with names. I know I don't get on here very often any more, but oh baby means a lot to me.

I'll be a 'maybe' for now. Will ask DH if it's a possibilty and tie it in with some other catchups down in Wellington. I've never been to a chipmunks - what's it like? I bet it's noisey!!! Oh & the zoo sounds like fun! haven't done that sort of thing in ages.
