Big News...

We are moving back to the United States!!!

No. Not really.

We are having a baby! 

Yes, really.

It is due March 20th 2014 by the French way of calculating due dates, March 13th by the American way.

So far, the doctor thinks it is a girl, but isn't sure.

We have absolutely no idea for a name. Any suggestions welcome, preferably not starting with P.

Had really bad nausea throughout the month of August, making life difficult for me and uncomfortable for everyone else, including coworkers.

By the way, who ever knew that having a baby was so complicated? It is like organizing a space launch.

I am pre-enrolled for a hospital, right across from my work, but don't have the confirmation yet. 

I have sent in some of the official forms, and we have to wait until six months before requesting a place in the city daycare. (Which are so in-demand, good luck getting a spot. And yet, France wants women to have more children. Maybe make it easier for the kids to be taken care of, and women will)

Ah well. One thing at a time I guess, starting with not throwing up.
