Swapsies Day / Meal Cook-up

Hi Ladies!

We had an awesome morning today! With our double dipper swapsie and cook-up day! Thank you to all of you who donated clothes/toys and food! We were able to cook a whole bunch of meals for the new mums of our group as well as for future new mums. These will also be available for other times when one of us may be in need of some help for some reason or another!
As you can tell from the pics, our crazy cooks in the kitchen had a blast, and the rest of us had a truck load of clothes to sift through to stock up for the year!
Thanks again all, its great to be able to help each other out in these ways :)


We also got to catch a glimpse of some of our lovely newborns! Did you know there have been 9 new babies from WonderMums this year, with Jo Pointon and Julia Hill still to have theirs also!! Congratulations to you all!

On a side note, please remember that next Tuesday 3rd August, we are meeting at Cafe Flavor, Manukau City Baptist Church, 9 Lambie Drive. They have an enclosed playground for kids. Hot drink and cake for $3. 10am!

A note of Thanks from Charm

Hi WonderMums,

It was such a blessing that your WonderMums group came to support my family. I want to share my thanks on the blogsite.

I have been to WonderMums since 2009. I always felt very lucky that I can join in with the activites in a mums group. I am a Christian and I believe God has the best plans for me and one is the opportunity to meet those lovely mums. I felt many mums, especially some leaders contributed time and put a lot of effort in to make the mums group very successful.
The other week, after my labour, I was having a very hard time because my older son Ethan got sick and he needed isolation from me and Asher, our new born baby. I have to look after Asher by myself as I cannot get any support from my relatives because they need to look after Ethan in another house. Praise GOD, God sent angels to help me. The WonderMums group helped me and delivered dinner to me for the first week I was home. I am very appreciative and I believe God sent those angels to me.

So a big thanks to those angels and lovely mums: Jo W, Jo P, Julia, Monique, Ruth and Pastor Lois.

May God Bless the WonderMums group and through their blessing may more mums understand God's power.

Kind Regards,
Charm

Butterfly Creek

Oops this is a bit late, but wanted to put up a few of the cute pics of our outing to Butterfly Creek this term! It was as usual, a fun time, but made extra special by 3 of our children celebrating their birthdays. Abbey and Josh turned 2! and Tayla turned 1! Happy Birthday to you all!

Welcome Baby Luke!!

Luke Samuel Kilpatrick arrived this morning (4th July) at 9.37am! He weighed in at a 'delicate' 4.17kg (9lb 3oz) and was 52cm long. The labour was a good one (if you can say that about ANY labour!), and Laura and Luke are doing really well. We are soo looking forward to cuddles with him!
A huge congratulations to you all, Sam & Laura & Reese - he is adorable!!!

Welcome Baby Asher!

Baby Asher arrived on the 29th June at 10.59pm. He weighed in at 3.19kg (7lb) and was 49.5cm long.

A note from Charm: "I kept praying during my pregnancy, and even though people were giving me negative information, (& forcing me to do precautionary tests), I was calm and I believed in God. I left everything in God's hands who is a miracle-worker! My labour was so good, only three pushes and Asher was born!! Also, I thank you for the WonderMum's group - you guys give me power and support. Thanks a lot!"

A huge congratulations to you & your family, Charm! We are soo looking forward to having cuddles!!
