Young mums living in wgtn/kapiti coast

Hey, yeah friends are good like that huh! My baby's not to far away from being born, so maybe we could meet up or whatever when my lil ones born? Are you with the daddy still? It would be awesome to set up a young mums group in wgtn or somewhere! though it doesn't matter how old people are i feel like with other young mums - mumsto be they can relate more to me.

Oh yeah, im going to be a single muma 2! The dad likes to think he will help but i no him well enough that he wont. hes not taking this whole baby thing well at all.
Im having a boy, which im pleased about! haha girls are hard work. Yeah im really excited/nervous. At this stage it seems like its taking forever and i just want him out so i can meet him Do u live on your own with Riordon??

Oh really? I don't know how men can be such pricks when it comes to their own kids! If i was a male, i would want to know my baby and watch it grow up. I only just managed to get him to pay $100 towards the cot this week. I think they must think that we want a fairy tale life, with the white picket fence and be housewives all our lifes and their not ready for that. But thats not true at all, just want them to be involved and care about their kid.

Uhh a few! its so hard picking a name haha but i like Jarvi and Lyon the best so far. Guess i'll have to wait and see what he looks life

Ok, Rory im living at home atm 2, but moving out to a cottage in about 3 weeks thats at the back of my parents house so there close when i need them. Thats only for a few months though, then be moving somewhere into my real own place. Thats lovely of your mum to let you live with her! It would be cool to live with another mum and her baby, then it wouldn't get so lonely and will be there for support and help. In otaki i don't think i'll find that though

Yeah, thats one thing i will never understand in life - males.

Yeah i want a unique name, so hes not in a class at school with 5 other kids named the same thing. Yeah ur sons name is wicked! My name is Bergitte, pronounced ber-jet sorta

It is, so i have help when which im sure i will, need help! then my parents are furnishing a house for me in the mean time while i live out the back which is great of them, because you don't really want to be sorting that stuff out when you have a lil one!

haha yeah, i lived in wgtn before i got pregnant and then moved up here cause it was the best place for me to be, even though my parents drive me bloody crazy, trying to take over things and rule my life. I always have to remind them this is my baby, and im its mother, not you 2. But because i don't really know anybody in Otaki its pretty boring! and not really my scene

Nah i don't have my own place up here, just going to rent one. maybe stay up here for around a year then move somewhere else not so remote.

Haha yeap, parents r great like that! i think they just think im young and don't have a clue what im doing, but i do ( i think )

That sounds good, in summer so its nice and warm! It gets really sunny up here, really nice. Im just worried how bubs is gonna cope with the sticky hot weather! So are you working or anything? i don't want to work untill he goes to kindy but i was quite keen on doing a paper or 2 with the open polytechnic or something so im not one of those stereotypes of teenage mums - just stay on the DPB all there life!

HI THERE :)

I am 22 a young mum to be and due in May 2010

I live about 2 1/2 hours out of Wellington so if you want we could always meet in the middle or make it monthly catch-ups? It would be great to deal with another young mum!

Hi Genevieve. Nce to "meet" you

May babies are awesome. Im a may baby hehe

Where abouts do you live?

YAY that sounds great.

Yup I am near Palmy, Mataroa, but I travel monthly to Wellington and twice weekly to Palmy for the groceries as it works out chepear than going to the small supermarket in Taihape.

Berg would be great to meet up, also I am looking at Massey as well, I am studying Medicine in Dunedin at the moment, but with haivng bub on the way and wanting to be closer to Hubby I am considering swapping to Veterinary Science or just finishing a genetics degree then completing med post-grad, somehow I think 8 hour shifts at the hospital are not going to go down well with a baby!

PM if you would like to meet up, I whould be home around November :)

Berg I am studying Animal Care. Yep sounds like we do. I just think my boy deserves the best so i want to try and make that happen. Haha sounds so cheesy . Social work sounds interesting. What kind of area are you thinking of working in?

Haha i was just looking at the new Lindale kids farm last night. I want to start taking Rory to places like that. It looks really awesome. I think i went there as a kid but cant remember what its like. That would be an great place to meet

Genevieve monthly meet-ups would be quite cool. I also sometimes travel to Foxton as my Nana lives there. I used to travel to Levin a lot but when i got pregnant my friends in Levin didnt turn out to be the sticking around kind of friends. What are you hoping to be doing after your study?

Late November sounds great

Aithne my mum is a Zoo-Keeper at Orana Park and she LOVES it.

If you need any advice I can ask her for you!
