I think most doctors in the area (at least the non-ancient ones) should at least be able to understand English. I'll ask around if anyone knows of a doctor who for sure speaks English.

My only concern would be how to afford something like that. But, with a new president in office in the US, maybe now is the time that will become a reality.

And sorry I took so long, I've been sick and now the little monster is sick, but a lingerie bag is called a "Wäschebeutel" in German. @betsy: Thanks for visiting Betsy. I'll probably be here for the rest of my life, so I'll be sure to enjoy it ;-) @cecilia: It’s a good book, check it out.

I am soooooooo envious that you live in Germany. I have spent quite a bit of time over there, I taught German, brought an exchange group to Stuttgart and also did a lot of snowboarding in the mountains of Germany and Austria. I always imagine what it would be like to raise my children over there. I love all the walking and fresh markets and the fact that you don't need a car. America will always be here. Enjoy this experience while you can. I just came over from Momformation, where I do some blogging. I am soooooooo envious that you live in Germany.

I will look at the Baby Name Wizard too (we have the same problem in choosing a name for our baby). And if it is not too much asking... how do you call a mesh laundry bag in German? (for washing lingerie) Thank you so much for the answers.

I forgot that I had already commented once, which is why I was getting the emails. I thought maybe the "subscribe without commenting" was tested on me, but really it was my own stupidity shining bright for the world to see! LOL! :) Not annoying at all.

I would love to live there. Good luck! Hopefully the next time we're in the area, we'll be able to look you up! @maria: Not a new feature, but it wasn't working before. There should be a box to subscribe to comments, that is checked by defaultr when you make a comment. Is that annoying? I always found that helpful because when the box wasn't checked, I'd always forget to check it, then I wouldn't be subscribed and usually lost track of any answer I might have received. @diane: I definitely didn't always feel this way.

I also lived in Berlin when I first came, and while Berlin is a lot of fun to visit, I woudn't want to live the rest of my life there. @barbara: I'm doing great! It's nice to hear from you. I hope things are wonderful in France! @ed: Awesome! I would love to live there. Good luck! Hopefully the next time we’re in the area, we’ll be able to look you up!

I also have a renewed appreciation for living and raising children in Germany. I agree with the culture of fear pervasive in the U.S. as well as the notion that Oliver will grow up with a much better understanding of the greater world in general by living in Europe. But can I add another question to the list as a recent expat? Have you always felt this way? If you had been given some of these same questions back when you first moved, would any answers be different? I really enjoyed this post because I feel I learned so much about you.
