I was there during... weeks 6-10 hehehe! And we were there 6months before that too! There is a slim possiblity that we end up living there for a year or two!
where abouts is she? we are currently in gladbeck but moving back to essen in october as we are just to far out from everything here
Hehe, I'm totally fine! Going to the north sea this week. Hannes is visiting a uni there and I'm going to laze around in the sun (fingers crossed there is some!). Long drive thoughand the car is pretty uncomfy.
How's Lena?
I'm slap bang in the middle
love you lo's name thats the name we have picked for a girlHehe, I'm totally fine! Going to the north sea this week. Hannes is visiting a uni there and I'm going to laze around in the sun (fingers crossed there is some!). Long drive though
How's Lena?
She's doing great. She's going through one of those moments where she just wants to be held all the time. I love holding her, but she is a rather heavy baby and she usually sends me arm to sleep after a while. Plus my back still gives me aches and pains from the c-section so it's not very pleasant at the moment.
Don't think I'm anywhere near any of you
Have you tried a cloth baby carrier? maybe they are more supportive with ur back?
And she's only going to get heavier
I love Lena too, but DH doesnt :'( He does love your boy name "maximilian" but I doesn't like how it's said in English! He's so fussy!
We plan to go with something more English that works in German, rather than a German one that works in English, if you get me
yeh i get ya theses are the only 2 we could agree on that we both love
We didnt even start on names till we knew what it was. I suppose though, we have barely bought anything either! So maybe we are a bit slow
How long have you been in Germany for?
ive been in germany since december 2010 still not managed tomake any friends tho not very good at that how about you how long have you been here?

How long have you been in Germany for?
we started when we met
So basically the same! Yeah, we'd pretty much called our child Elizabeth since we met, and then a friend of ours named her girl that about 8 months ago :'( so they are all foreign as well! My German is still not very good though, so unless people speak english, there isnt really any way for me to be friends with them :'(

Haha, since Aug 2010
I can second the friends thing, Only friends I have in Siegen are the ones I met in my German course!
but have found a big english/ american community live in essen AND dussledorf just need to find them, i can speak and understand german have my b1 but still struggle to remember the correct context etc so prefer my good old english baby will be bilingual too
i met some lovely people on my language course but non of us stayed in touch all went our own ways so its basicly just me ben his mum and quite often his sister i miss the friend part of life
I don't work here either, which makes my life so boring atm. Does your MIL speak English? Or wait, you might not be married! IDK!

I really wish something like that existed in Siegen, it's just a small city and it's just really just Germans! We should leave here within the next year, maybe go to bonn or dusseldorf (or even the UK). So I can look forward to leaving Siegen
yeh i dont work neither so its a very boring life i lead atm dussledorf has a very big english speaking community if you were to go there they actualy have clubs for it
And if there is a group of people, there is no way I can follow along.
