Hamilton Play Group

Hey Lizzle! I havn't been able to get anywhere near a computer for ages! How is your search for a playgroup goin'? Hope it's goin well. How's Jake doin'? Has he cut anymore teeth yet? Gracie still hasn't got any yet. She's crawling now though which is cool but man talk about having eyes in the back of your head! hahaha.

What was the big injection for?! Sounds pretty traumatising! Poor little guy! I'm taking Gracie for her 5 month immunisations next week. Yeah Gracie sleeps through the night, she has been since she was about 6 weeks. She has the odd night where she doesn't sleep through, she had a cold last week so had a couple of fussy nights but nothing too serious. She sleeps from bout 8pm to 730am so she's a pretty good sleeper. I think she tires herself out during the day LOL. How's Jakes sleeping?

that's a lot of waking! poor you lizzle!

is it hot over in japan?
my kidlet wakes when she gets cold. i've been wrapping her up good and proper so she can't escape and wake me up!

That's a really good idea!.. or maybe just a paper bag for those days that no matter what you do to make yourself look better you still look like chuckie's bride!

Hey for those mummies in Hamilton.. we are thinking pretty strongly about moving up there once i graduate - I am applying to waikato hospital's new grad program as well as palmy's so it's just a matter of who wants me basically. what i need to know is.. what are the house prices like, for renting or buying.. a decent 3 bedroom with at least a medium sized yard? also, how many daycares are around? and is it really important to have a car or are there still ways and means of getting about.. palmy is so much smaller and i only have my learners.. so if we move i figure i will need my licence by then.. also if we are gonna move it will be pretty short notice to get into daycares.. like i dunno, 2 months or something. it's crazy.. a year away.. and yet we have to start thinking about it all now.

and lizzle... maybe jake just likes your company in the middle of the night! i feel for ya tho

I don't know what Palmy house prices are like, but in Hamilton it depends on the area you are in... there's some areas you DONT want to live if you can help it, but for the most part, it's about $250+ per week for a 3bedroom place with a yard of some sort. There are cheaper places, but be picky! In Melville, (the suburb nearest the hospital) there are some really nice places for $250-300, and its one of those suburbs that isn't a bad place to live (we would live there if that's where we'd ended up) but at the same time it isn't exclusive by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't know about daycare, sorry... the buses are pretty good during the day, but the routes all finish at the transport centre (the main bus depot) in town at about 6:30pm and thats it.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know, or just ask if you have any questions... I've lived in Hamilton for 4 years now.

hey, wasn't it your sister having the problems with her little one? How is everything going? If it's too sensitive at the moment, ignore me completely!

Hey there I would like to know how the play group is going? I'm going to be moving to Waharoa at the end of May and although Matamata is closer it would be nice to meet up with some people from here.
Hey Lizzle what part of Japan are you in? My uncle Pete lives over there (can't remember exactly where right now) with his Japanese wife and they are expecting their first son together in about a month. His name is going to be Daniel Desmond. I can't wait to have a new cousin even if he is younger than my son! :-p

Lizzle,its always the way with kids lol,they are all sick and show the signs wheh u r at home,but turn up to the dr and they are all happy and playful lol.

well, i guess it is bronchitis as he is allowed to go to daycare today as long as he takes his medicine.
