Zurich Bumps

I've been feeling really homesick and sorry for myself lately. So I decided to quit moping and do something about it. This Thursday I'm meeting at a little place called Cakefriends with 9 other pregnant ladies to gab about all things pregnancy - and eat cake!

Doesn't Cakefriends look adorable? I seriously cannot wait for this. Last weekend I was out with some girlfriends and I realized that pregnancy is the only thing on my mind these days. I'm completely absorbed in gestating!

You may be wondering how I came to find nine other English-speaking pregnant ladies right here in Zurich. That is the beauty of the internet. The English Forum Switzerland has been an invaluable resource for me since we decided to make the move to Zurich. It's filled with useful information such as what Sudafed is called in Switzerland, where to buy jalapeños, what Swiss Chard is called in Switzerland, and so on and so forth. I did a search for "pregnant meet-up" and an old thread from 2009 popped up in the results. Rather than wait around for someone else to do it, I bumped the thread and suggested a current meet-up for pregnant ladies. The response was fabulous. It turns out there are lots of other "bumps" in Zurich who want to meet other gals who are in the same boat. Now I'm feeling very proactive and happy. I can't wait to make some new friends and have other bumps in my life!
