One of the key things to find when you move especially if you have any sort of medical condition and kids - are good doctors. Hopefully I have started tackling that mountain.
Yesterday I saw 3 doctors!!! It just so happened that I got some
references and my act into gear and appointments all bunched up.
The first was a gynaecologist; he was lovely as well as German, fluent in English, married to a Greek woman pediatrician, father of 3 kids, trained in Munich and ready to take the time to explain all possible contraception that might work for me. I nearly had the impression I had gone for coffee with a friend.

The second was a very renowned endocrinologist (for my thyroid) and although I am a bit wary of the "very renowned" as they can be professor-ish and not good with patients, I really liked this one. He also took a lot of time to explain things and checked my thyroid (with his hands) and prescribed blood tests that made sense. We talk on Monday.
The third was for William - we saw his pediatrician, Poppy, for his pneumococcal vaccine. We also measured and weighed him and so we have some numbers.
William, 20 months:
- 86 cm tall
- 12,5 kg
- very smily and happy and still not very talkative except for:
- Mamaaah
- Papap'
- Mameuuuh
- nez (nose in French)
- teuk (take or tiens we are not really sure and perhaps neither is he)
- ça (this in French)
- up (for pick up, put up, go up the stairs but also sometimes for open)
- "co" for "encore" (more in French)
- "haa" for hot
- Aema (Emma)
- nods his head for "yes", shakes for "no"
- points and pulls you and shows you where to sit if you are not sitting in your usual place
- brings you his plate when he is hungry
- loves emptying the dishwasher and putting things away (only one glass broken so far!)
- still has the cutest walk (kind of swings his hips and shoulders like a tough bodyguard)
- at bed-time in his bed, tucks my arm under his body so I can't leave. (heart melting)
