Anyone from Tauranga?

Hi All

Just wondering if there is anyone on here from sunny Tauranga?

Would be nice to hear from anyone local!

Hi Italiah

Nice to hear from you! Congrats on your pregnancy How's it going??

I've got a 5yr old Daughter & a little boy on the way, due 29th June.... sooo can't wait til he arrives!!! We're in Welcome Bay.

Hi Baysmum

Nice to hear from you too! Yes you still count, LOL!! Where are you now?
Lovely cool day here today, thank goodness

Your baby is due a little after mine, might see you in delivery suite, LOL!!!

Thank you Italiah! I'm sooo excited about having a wee boy (he's not actually 'wee', quite big really!! ) His name will be Lucas Noah

I've lived in Tauranga (various parts) since I was about 13, now 27. We've only been in Welcome Bay since early Dec last year, I like it here but it's very Hilly! Makes thinking about going for a walk even harder, LOL!!!
I live with my lovely DP Mike & DD Minardi, Minardi is only with us 4 nights a week, the other 3 she's with her Dad.

What about you? How long have you lived here?

I only just noticed your wee Gia shares the same birthday as my Minardi! But she is 29/10/2001 I was 10 days overdue with her!!!

I was born in Greymouth but my family moved to the Mount when I was 6 months old - been here every since!! My parents still own the same house we were bought up in - a little renovated since the 80's though.

I've just turned 27 as well, been married 7 yrs!! Yeah I married quite young but no regrets have had an awesome married life. We built a home in Papamoa the year we got married - moved in on our 1st wedding anniversary. Sold it 15 months later & we traveled to Europe & England for 6 months. Came home, my husband set up his own decorating business, we "accidentally" fell pregnant with Rico - & been breading ever since - HAHA! But this is our LAST! Three children is plenty I think. My husband would love more (as they do.)

Gia was a week early - as was Rico. My MW thinks I only bake mine for 39 weeks. Hopefully this one will be the same!!

I went to good ole' Mt College, from 93-96.

I guess you're stressing bit with perhaps having a big baby?? Mine were 8lb 15 oz & 8 lb 8 oz. But being 3rd baby they can get big!! My sisters first 2 were small at 6 lb & 7 lb, then her 3rd popped out 9lb!!! All girls too.

Hey i went to girls college during that time too. But i think you may be a year older LOL. Dont live there anymore but.

hehe I was told at a scan i had at 36 or 37 weeks with my son that he was going to be at least 11lbs!!!! it scared the living C**P! out of me! but when he was born a week or so later he was only 7lb 14oz! but 57cms long!!! (unusually long!) and they were taking measurements off his legs hense the big estimate!! he also turned out to be 3 weeks overdue instead of early!!. we didnt know dates but found this out by the state of him when he was born and the Olygohydrosis i had developed! So he may well have been even smaller if born when he was meant to!! so dont be too scared off by their estimates!
all of my family seem to have smaller bubs as they move along - my SIL had a 8lb 7oz girl first then a 7lb 8oz boy second then a 7lb 2oz girl third!.

School seems such a long time ago; i dont even know what year i was 3rd form?! I remember i had Mrs Hynds LOL.

Oh i would definately be up for a meet up I probably wont be able to attend a coffee group very often but i would certainly try to come every so often I still have friends over there that i dont want to loose contact with so i go over once a month for a coffee
