It's lonely out here


As a first time parent in a foreign country, there are a lot of things I miss. I really wanted prenatal yoga and lamaze classes when I was pregnant. Now I wish for a new parent support group. I think part of the problem is that there are several support groups in place for the military and their families that I don't get to be a part of. Also, from what I've seen, aside from soldiers, there are not a lot of working women with babies out here. It's pretty lonely where I work as well. Almost every US employee in my directorate is a man.

As a result, I ambush anyone who comes into the library with a baby and try to strike up a conversation. I'll bet I come off as a little creepy.
