We now have a pediatrician! I wouldn't have known really that I needed to look for one in advance except the paperwork for the clinic asked for the name of your pediatrician. So our doctor recommended three names; I managed to find two of them in the phone book (guessed well enough at the spelling of their names); called one and she was accepting new patients. So we have a prenatal appointment the first week of June. Stephen doesn't quite get why we need to go, but the receptionist (with her limited English) said usually one should come in 2 months before the due date. I think it is mainly just to meet this person. One more thing taken care.
We are supposed to start our prenatal classes (in English) in June, but I haven't been able to get the start date confirmed. That is making me a little nervous, but the Swiss are usually good about getting back to you.
An American whose two children were born here told us today that because our baby is being born in Switzerland, if our child does not marry an American and is not living in the US when they have a child, our potential grandchild would not automatically have US citizenship. Interesting and strange ...some things you never think about - and wonder who comes up with these rules!

So glad to hear you are scheduled to take prenatal classes. The more you know the easier things are---hopefully!
Interesting info re: your grandchildren, make a note of that somewhere!!
Have boxes of Life cereal to take to Lora's today so she can pack them in her suitcase.
Hope to talk to you soon. Baba
