Hi everyone! Just wondering if i can join your group?
My name is Marie from Hampshire in UK and i had our beautiful boy Matthew in February of this year. I was 35 when i had him and 36 now. He is my first.
Would really like to chat to some other mums of around the same age - most of the mum's around my area (in the parent/baby group) are all a lot younger than me and it's hard to join in conversations when they all know each other already! I find it hard anyway, as i am quite shy.
Also, most of my friends had their children a long time ago, so i don't actually know anyone with a baby, which does get me down a bit sometimes.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
Welcome Marie
It looks like our babies are close in age. I am the same as you in the fact that most of all my friends children are almost grown. Emily isn't my first but she is my first in a long time, I have a 20,19 & 17 . I don't live in the UK ( I am in Ontario Canada ) but it is nice to meet you. Do you plan on having anymore children ? I am hoping to TTC again soon due to my age and since there is a big age difference I don't want Emily raised as an only child.
and that wasn't decided until recently. My Mat leave is almost finished so we had to make the decision. Our wages were close to equal but DH has a better insurance coverage. We want to have another very soon so that was the final factor for me to stay home. I love being home but I never realized how much I would miss work too. I think I miss the social aspect of it even more. I worked for the same company since 1996 so this is a big ajustment. I have found it hard to find other mommies in my area but we just found a program through our local libaray for mom's and baby's..so I join that..
