 Topic: I’m new here - due Oct 12
Posted: 27 July 2006 at 4:11pm |
|
I hope it's okay to post this here, but i just wanted to introduce myself!
My name is Emma, i'm 22 and from Christchurch. I'm pregnant with my first little bundle of joy - and we found out at 19w that I'm having a girl! We've named her Gabrielle Jayda-Lee (Gaby) - and i'm seriously counting down the days now! LOL.
I plan to have her at Burwood Birthing Unit, and my ideal 'scenario' would be to have a waterbirth, but will see what Gaby decides on the day!
I'm a single Mama, though Gaby's Daddy is still very much in the picture, and is over the moon about his daughter arriving soon. I'm sad we can't be together through this, but I figure we're better off being best friends, than being together and growing to resent each other...
I am SO glad to have found some Kiwi pregnancy/parenting forums!

Congratulations on your little girl 
I'm a single mama too, but no sign of Han's daddio. That's fine by me but would love to be in your position where I had some friendly support!!!

Hi and welcome!
I second what Paws said - this place is addictive, to the point where I wasn't able to login for a week and suffered serious withdrawls!

hehe thanks for all the welcomes! I only found the forum by chance, in an ad on another forum I belong too!
Would be really neat to find some fellow ChCh Mama's to chat to.... Much as i love pregnancy forum's in general, it's always nice to chat to someone who is near by... and lol up til now 'near by' has been Australia!
Kellz - how exciting that we are both due the same day, with girls! What are the chances!
bye bye for now.. off to try and decide what to make for tea.... be nice if my appetite would come back so i could have more inspiration than making a bowl of coco pops!

Emma, if you go to the "General Chat" section, you'll find a thread called "Where in the world" where we've all listed where in NZ (or overseas) we are currently living... that would give you the names of the other Christchurch mums and mum-to-bes. There's also a thread there called "Let me introduce myself" where you can find out a little about the rest of us!

Hey Emma- firstly congratulations on the pregnancy and welcome!
I'm just a random from the world of Oz haha and I love this board. I'm on here most of the day and night and I also get on the www2.everybody.co.nz site and spend alot of time on there also in the august-to-be board... I'm a bit of a board jumper but oh well haha. I could be due 22nd of august which my ticker is set on or i could be 4th sept- but damn I'm hoping it's 22nd or earlier.
Good luck and great to 'see' a new face on the boards. Welcome!!!

Hey welcome Emma - I'm Janine and i have 2 girls. Just a side note... cocoa pops are perfectly good - don't knock them as a good dinner, they are cereal and milk and chocolate all in one... that's 3 food groups you know!! add a sliced banana or something and that's 4, lol. (see how i used to reason when i was preg... lol, no wonder we went through so many boxes of cocoa pops!)
