Intro

Well I have decided to start a blog, to keep everyone updated on what we are doing in Belgium. I will try to keep up with it daily, or at least when important things happen. So far we are staying in a hotel on Chievres Air base, which is about 20 minutes away from SHAPE, where Mat will be working. It is nice here, but we are looking forward to moving into a place of our own and get all of our furniture and things back, I'm getting a little tired of wearing the same 10 t-shirts over and over... lol. We looked at a few houses and found one we think will be perfect for us, we are signing the lease on Tuesday. hooray! We get to move in March 1st, so hopefully all our stuff is already here and ready to be delivered to the house.
The house has 4 bedrooms and a study in the cellar that Mat will be using as a drum room. It has 2 bathrooms, and a shower, which is nice, because a lot of the houses we looked at just had bathtubs, I guess Belgians dont take showers lol. The backyard is fenced, the dogs will be able to run around out there, and the kitchen is nice. I'll put some pictures up after we move in.
I have to make an appointment at the clinic on base, and then get a referral to go off base for my obgyn appts. The clinic on base is just a clinic so i have to go out on the economy to have the baby, hopefully I can find an english speaking doctor! They have translators if your doctor doesn't speak english, but I think it would be much simpler if the doctor can speak my language. : ) Once we figure out which hospital we are going to, and get a doctor we will be ablet to find out the sex of the baby!! yay!!! Then I can start buying cute baby clothes and setting up the nursery!
So far it has been quite an adventure, most people speak english, but some people on SHAPE only speak french. I think we'll adjust alright, we're doing well so far. love you all!!
