Today we had our first Mothers Group meeting at the Maternal Health Centre. Turned out to be quite a big group - 13 of us. Apparently it's the largest group they've ever run there. I had no idea so many women in Lara would've recently had babies! Today was just an introduction day where we basically introduced ourselves and our babies and answered a few questions and then broke off into little groups and discussed some topics that they gave us. Hunter was pretty good, he basically slept through the whole thing. He was in his carrier for about the first hour, then he started to stir so I got him out and held him in my arms and he slept there for the rest. He is the youngest baby by a few weeks, most of them seem to be around 8-9 weeks. Everyone kept saying how small he was, and that they remembered when their babies were that little! They also told us about a Mums and Bubs exercise class that is run by the Community Centre, so I think I will sign up for that too! It sounds fun... your baby stays with you while you do the class and I think they're even used/can take part in some of the exercises. I think a few of the other mums were planning to sign up for that too. Next week the topic is sleeping and settling, which should be good for me. Hunter sleeps, but most of the time it's Rob that gets him off to sleep! Which could be a problem when he goes back to work on Monday week!
Todays pics are Hunter chilling with Rob awaiting his last feed of the night...and a couple that Rob and I took because we thought he looked cute in the basket of his clean washing... lol. I don't think he found it as amusing as we did though....
