Just to let you know our 2008 SSMBA Xmas Picnic is going ahead. According to the radar on Weatherzone (http://www.weatherzone.com.au)/ the showers are clearing and it looks the sun might very well make an appearance! The temperature forecast is 26ºC, currently at 19ºC.
The ground will be a bit wet but shouldn't be muddy so please bring your picnic blankets or something to put on the ground that you can sit on.
For those of you who have beach wind shelters/small tents, bring those along to sit under in case of a small shower...however, those showers should be gone very soon!
Mrs Clause has been on the phone to tell us that Santa is already on his way there and will be joining us sometime later on. Our clowns are still coming and of don't forget we will be selling boxes of Krispy Kremes!!!
We look forward to seeing you all there.
Merry Christmas from the SSMBA 2008 Committee

Family Day Picnic 23rd November is CANCELLED
Due to the cold, wet, windy weather we are cancelling our Family Day Picnic.
Sorry for the short notice but we've been holding off to see if it brightened up a bit but think it's just too cold to sit outside for any length of time today. Weatherzone is showing there to be plenty of showers around - http://www.weatherzone.com.au/local/local.jsp?lt=aploc&lc=1283
Hopefully see you at the SSMBA Christmas Party at Carss Bush Park, Blakehurst on Sunday 7th December.

Family Day Sunday 19th October 2008
We are recommencing the SSMBA Family Day's this Sunday, 19th October. As our very first location was such a success we have decided to hold it there again - at Stanwell Beach Park from 10am.
Note: the park we are going to is on Station Street - see map below.
We will be meeting at one of the undercover picnic area points (that is, if we get there early enough to grab one!) and will have our SSMBA banner blowing in the wind so you can see where we are! There is a great playground for the kids with a little bike track, bbqs, picnic tables and plenty of spots to throw down a picnic blanket.
All parents of multiples are welcome and we look forward to seeing you there. Please note, if it is torrential rain on the day then we will unfortunately need to cancel this event. However, you can contact Katrina Carroll (0400 356 928) on the day to confirm if Family Day is going ahead if the weather is looking a bit dubious.

CDSE Grant News!
Yesterday we received notification from Simon de Munck, General Manager of Club Rivers stating our CDSE grant application had been successful. The application was submitted by SSMBA in April this year asking for financial assistance for the production and distribution of our 2008/09 newsletter.
Mr de Munck said, "I am happy to report that Club Rivers has considered your application favourably and decided to fund your entire application to the tune of $5,000.00 – well done!"
Linda Allen, SSMBA President said, "Thanks to Vice President, Katrina Carroll and helpers for their great work. Our application requested funding to ensure continued circulation of our newsletter to not just our members, but now also to medical professionals, family support groups, baby health centres and the many others that provide services to multiple birth families in our community."
Katrina Carroll, SSMBA Vice-President, thanked Mr de Munck on behalf of the committee and added, "We should be able to do so much more for our members now, raise SSMBA's profile and thus increase awareness of our existence! Our committee feels very passionate of our club's importance within the community and this shows we're not the only ones. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to apply for the grant."
Needless to say, there was a flurry of email between the SSMBA committee and Mr de Munck expressing gratitude and general elation!
What fantastic news!!

June's Family Day
Well, the cold weather and illness must have got to people today as we only had three families come along to Family Day (the Allen, Carroll and Gardner families) . However, we still had a great time and as always, the children loved every minute of it.
The sun was out and kept us warm for most of the time but by 12:30pm it started to cloud over, the wind picked up and so we decided to pack-up, go home and let the kids have a sleep...boy, did they wear themselves out!
The park is a good size in order for you to let your children roam whilst keeping a watchful eye over them and allowing you to be at a safe distance where you can get to them quickly if need be. It was busy without being over-crowded and certainly a location we will use again in the future.
We will not be holding a Family Day in July due to the cold weather and lack of indoor, inexpensive venues.
(Samuel Carroll & Ruby Allen enjoying some time together!)

PlayDay
We had 10 families at this weeks Venetia Street PlayDay, with around half having not previously attended - it was great to see so many new families! The day was predicted to be cold and wet but turned out to be fantastic with plenty of sunshine.
The ages of the kids ranged from under 12 months right through to nearly school age - and all seemed to have a great time! The mums and dads got to have a coffee and chat, while the kids played with the toys inside the hall or outside in the sandpit, rollercoaster or slippery dip. The kids just love the swings and there's often squabbles, particularly between siblings, on whose turn it is next.
Many of the new attendees commented they will come again next fortnight so it promises to be another great day - hope to see you there!

3rd Committee Meeting of the SSMBA Year
We're well into our 2008/09 year and are raring to go. We had a good turn-out of committee members at our third GM. We've had 8 new membership and 6 membership renewals this month. We now have printed our very own SSMBA leaflets explaining all about us which we are trying to distribute everywhere we can think in order to raise our profile, gain members and thus help and support as many families of multiples as possible. If you can help with this distribution please let us know.
We talked about the Family Picnic Days, the success of the first one and how in the winter months we won't hold them as we cannot find a suitable and affordable indoor venue (weekends seem to be so busy at indoor venues). We are, however, going to hold an under 5's afternoon disco which we'll open up to family and friends of SSMBA members.
We've had a couple of vacant committee positions filled but there are still some roles needing to be filled - please see July's newsletter for details.
There was much discussed with regards to fundraising, grants and sponsorship and the many ongoing projects and ideas we have. In fact, we have so many ideas, we’ve decided we need to get together to spend some time prioritising and scheduling just what we are going to be doing in the next few months.
As we value our members input and ideas, we would like to open these discussions up to all members and are therefore going to hold a discussion meeting (with kids in tow!) on Friday 29 June from 10am. So if you’ve got some time to spare, or would just like to catch up for coffee,feel free to drop by!

S/land Shire East Coffee Morning
As we don't currently have an SSMBA Area Rep. for the Sutherland Shire East, Katrina Carroll and Rebecca Young are filling in until someone can be found. We may actually have someone who's interested in this role but we need 2 rep.'s for each area so please let us know if you're interested in taking on this easy but crucial role.
We decided to hold the coffee morning indoors as the weather has been so unpredictable. The location was Amigos play cafe in Caringbah.
We had 7 mums come along with their children, twins and siblings in tow and it was a fantastic few hours. We even had a couple of pregnant mums come along to have a chat and see how it is looking after lively, active twins!
The cafe is a little bit narrow in parts which can make it difficult to get around with a double stroller but it is do-able and the cafe staff are extremely helpful. There is an indoor play room which has a brilliant padded/netted climbing frame which is suitable for children from approx. 12months-4years. There is a big outdoor area with some more great play equipment and a deck with tables and chairs for you to enjoy your beverages and snacks in the warmer months (lovely coffee btw!).
It was lovely for the mums to be able to have a coffee in the warmth without worrying about their children wondering off too far. We all had a good natter whilst easily keeping the kids entertained.
Roll-on next month when Rebecca is holding the next Shire East (everyone welcome) coffee morning at the same place, on 21st July from 11am! Don't forget your SSMBA membership card as we get a '2 for 1' entry saving which makes this location very affordable.
Hope to see you there.

PlayDay
With the weather staying damp and dismal PlayDay seemed just the thing to give our children a change of scene...
We had a fab time using the indoor play area and setting the kids the challenge of seeing how many puzzles they could get through before getting bored with them.
It was a great chance for the parents to catch-up and have a relaxing chat where they could keep a close eye on their children without having to run around.

Sutherland Shire West Area Coffee Morning
Well, unfortunately this coffee morning was a bit of a wash-out. With the weather the way it was and infections seemingly raging, nearly everyone seemed too busy to meet up or wanted to stay at home wrapped up in the warmth and dry.
However, there were two families who decided they wanted to meet-up, the Rask's and Carroll's. They met-up at the Carroll household and the kids all seemed to have a great time tiring each other out...just what Nisette and Kat needed after a few days cooped-up with their kids on their own!
Hopefully next months Shire West coffee morning will bring a dry day and lots of members wanting and able to meet-up.

What a great day!
It was a fabulous day. The weather was so good; the park wasn't too crowded (but we still could have done with a fully fenced area); we all had a ball.
We had 12 families who came along which was a fantastic turn-out for our first Family Day. The coffee van was put to good use as was the children's playground. A big thank you to Linda who brought along a bubble-machine which made a couple of appearances each time the kids seemed to wander too close to the car park!
I know all my Carroll boys had a fantastic time and what's even better is that they went out like lights tonight as soon as their heads touched the pillow...including their dad :-)
I, for one, am certainly looking forward to the next FD on 22nd June and hope you'll be able to join us then (details in June's newsletter and on the blog nearer the time).
Look forward to seeing or hearing from you soon -

Family Day is going ahead
It's 7:30am and here in the Carroll household we're getting ready to go to Family Day. Weather looks OK, bit chilly at this time in the day but according to the Weatherzone (http://www.weatherzone.com.au) radar there isn't a drop of rain in the sky!
So we'll hopefully be leaving in an hour to get to Stanwell a bit early so we can grab an undercover area - just to be on the safe side!
See you there

Family Day this Sunday, 25th May from 10am
Announcing SSMBA's first Family Day!
We believe there are some of our members who find it difficult to attend coffee mornings or playdays during the week. We appreciate that a lot of mums have gone back to work, the little ones are starting preschool or big school and feel that by starting up a Family Day once a month it will give all our members a better opportunity to catch up with each other.
This coming Sunday, 25th May, we will be holding Family Day down at the beach at Stanwell Park from 10am. Note: the park we are going to is on Station Street - see map below.
We will be meeting at one of the undercover picnic area points (hopefully we will get there early enough to grab one!) and will have our SSMBA banner blowing in the wind so you can see where we are!
There is a great playground for the kids with a little bike track, bbqs, picnic tables and plenty of spots to throw down a picnic blanket. We have also booked a coffee van to come along and don't forget we'll be holding our SSMBA merchandise winter sale!
All parents of multiples are welcome and we look forward to seeing you there.
Please note, if it is torrential rain on the day then we will unfortunately need to cancel this event. However, you can either contact Katrina Carroll (0400 356 928), Nisette Rask (4294 4114), or, this Blog on the day to confirm if Family Day is going ahead.

Pregnancy, Babies and Children's Expo
Rebecca Young and Katrina Carroll attended the PBC Expo at Sydney Showground last weekend to man the AMBA stand. If you were there you would have seen Rebecca on Saturday and Katrina on Sunday.
They both had fun chatting to all the pregnant ladies, their partners and peeking
at all the little newborns.
Katrina said, "I found it exhilirating talking to all the pregnant women and a lot of prospective dads too. I had forgotten just what an exciting time it was being pregnant with your multiples and it was fun to be able to share those feelings again with so many nervous but excited people. It was hilarious though cos so many people wanted to know about breastfeeding twins and I have absolutely no idea on that one cos I wasn't able to! Thank goodness I'd attended an Expectant Parents night recently so I could pass on some tips from our other mums who had breastfed successfully."
Some of the other tips they were able to pass on included; wearing support-pants after a c-section so you don't get an over-hang, using the AMBA community forum (you'll see the side link on our blog page for this) and also Nicki Wright's wonderful idea of having a 'to do list' on your fridge so any visitors can just take a look at it and automatically give some much needed help without you feeling guilty about saying what needs doing.
Keep a lookout on our blog and in our newsletter for future conferences, expo's and the like.

Saturday 17th May - Night Out without the kids!
Last Saturday night a few of us got together at EngadineRSL for a chat and a few drinks - minus the kids !! The conversations included toilet training our kids (I picked up some great tips!), how to get our little ones to eat veggies (or just get them to eat food in some instances) and how us girls can make our boobs look bigger and more uplifted (lots of hilarity from this and a bit of show and tell too!).
A good time was had by all and as one mum put it, "it is sooooo refreshing to hear most of you are living the same as us and wondering if life will ever resemble normality again!"
The next night out is promising to be bigger and better - but we might just wait for it to warm up a bit more.
We had (left to right) Nisette Rask, NatalieArmstrong, Kristen Hardman, Sue Steer, Nicki Wright, Rebecca Young, Tenielle McGuire, Linda Allen, Katrina Carroll (taking the photo) and her husband Brendan who put on a brave face after being duped into being the only husband there, but managed to escape early!

Committee Meeting update
So our '08/'09 SSMBA committee had its 2nd committee meeting on Monday night. There was much to talk about, lots to catch-up on and some great ideas were discussed. For those of you who aren't in the Shire-West area, our rep. for that area (also our HOM rep.), Sue Steer, has written a letter to the council regarding the lack of fully fenced playgrounds. She has requested the council provide complete fencing and gates on some of the parks in the Sutherland Shire. Thanks so much, Sue for pursuing this very important issue. We'll let you know if Sue gets a response from the council and if SSMBA are going to get involved in this matter further. We've had some great feedback from the 'new-look' newsletter - great job Rebecca! I nearly missed mine in the post 'cos it looked so different and what a fantastic read. Members also seem to like the idea of having a monthly Family Day so we're looking forward to seeing what kind of turn-out we have on the 25th May. Another item of discussion was about the possibility of holding seminars for our members throughout the year - we need some topic ideas though so let us know what topics you would like us to cover. One member, who is a developmental psychologist, has offered to do a short talk on literacy and has suggested it would be good to tie this in with a Book Look fundraiser. We'd love to hear from you if you have any ideas or could offer some such service. We're also wanting to hold at least one, possibly two, accredited first aid courses. One of our very own committee members recently had a very harrowing experience with one of her twins where she needed to perform resuscitation on her child. She will be sharing her story with us in one of the newsletters so I'm not going to say too much here but she's highlighting the need for all of us to know these basic but extremely important first aid techniques. I know there was more discussed but we're not going to give away too many secrets this early in the game! Just keep watching this space, reading the newsletter and coming along to events...

S/shire West Area Playdate
Monday 5th May
What a lovely Monday morning for a change - it was fantastic to see that the sun out.
It turned out very nicely for the mums and multiples that came along, a very fast running Sue with triplets: Sam, Matt and Will (2 and a half); Samantha with her daughters Tabitha and Jamilla: happy first birthday girls for Friday...and especially happy birthday for you Samantha on Wednesday; Katrina Carroll with sons Samuel and Jacob ( 2 and a half) and Alex ( 9 months) who loved having a play on the blankets and swings; Tiffany Robinson with Holland and Griffin ( 18 months) who had lots of fun on their bikes; Rebecca Young with Amy , Lily and big brother Jake who loved having a play at the park and me with two of my boys Christian and Tristan ( 15 months) who loved running in opposite directions.
The parks equipment is great for all ages but unfortunately it is only marginally fenced for such a busy road and with a car park right there too, so its another spot that you really have to keep an eye on your little ones- we all really discovered this when the council garbage truck sped into the grounds without a care for the very busy park! This is why it is really important that we get behind Sue Steers approach to the council to completely fence our local parks....especially as we are all in the same boat trying to watch more than one child at a time! Really looking forward to seeing you all again at next months play date, hopefully the warmth will still be in the air for outdoors!
Take care and Happy Mothers Day Mums
Regards
Leticia Wilson and Sue Steer
