Hellooooo Mothers Group

Now I don't want to get too excited (but secretly I am) but I have joined a mother's group in my local area and I love it! For those who don't know, in Australia the local council organises for first time mum's in the local area to meet and get to know each other through a structured six week program.  Yesterday I attended the second meeting and it was great.  All us mum's are bonding over prams, crying babies and routines and its great to know that most of us are in a similar boat and our little ones are very close in age. 

A few of us were talking at the start of the session and mentioning that we didn't want to be the "first mum to have a crying baby during the session"....well...as I knew it Bubba G was unsettled for about an hour and Mama had to walk around the hall rocking and trying to entertain the little one while the nurse was giving us a talk about settling babies...mmm..oops wasn't able to listen to that one. But my little one just wanted Mama to give her cuddles and just hold her because within half hour my gorgeous princess was asleep in my shoulders and I was able to to continue to enjoy the company of the mum's and bubs.

Bubba G and I look forward to Thursday afternoons where we can do some socialising with the local mums and bubs, and we are both hoping that we can start to bond with a few of them so we can meet up with them regularly and go for walks around the park and have coffee (the coffee is for me of course)

  1. Go mum’s groups!!! A saving grace when you need to bounce a gazillion things of anyone who’ll listen!
