We got the apartment we wanted! We will move in on Nov 1st and we can't wait!
In Kevin's wanderings yesterday he made it to Beatrix park, where he saw a group of people standing around smiling while their labs (and other dogs) played off the leash...This park is only 8 minutes from our new place...it will be great for the dogs daily walks!
Our apartment is large enough to have a fold out couch (in addition to our current furniture) so we can house guests! Don't worry, we will provide earplugs for everyone who comes after March 10th. In fact we may have our first guests just bring a costco size container!
First come, first serve!
Now for our container to arrive...it will be to Rotterdam on Nov 19th and then take another 2 weeks to clear customs and make it to Amsterdam. Until we have our own stuff, the relocation company will provide us with furniture.
I found a midwife today, our first appointment is on Friday. In the Netherlands, after your baby is born a "maternity assistant" comes to your house for 3, 5 or 6 hours a day for 8 days. She helps new parents figure out what they are supposed to do with there little bundle of joy... in addition to doing things like changing your sheets, laundry, cooking, etc.
Today was the first day that I felt our son move, consistently. I had been feeling it every now and then, but today was much more regular. Wierd.

I am so glad to read your posts and see that you are settling in. What an adventure Dana! I hope all continues to go well. Love to you both! Michelle
Congratulations! The apt is beautiful, esp the windows! I have a feeling your baby is going to be a kicker, so be prepared :)
Miss all of you!
