Stroller

Michelle has been to the hospital for a checkup today. Apparently, the local doctors don't supervise the birth. Rather, this is the hospital's responsibility. Fortunately, everything is fine. Her next visit is scheduled on July 26, the Swiss due date (to calculate the due date, the Swiss seem to count every month as 30 days, unlike the Americans (July 23), who do it exactly. Who would have thought?).
Edit: A pregnancy takes an around 280 days from the first day of the last menstrual period. If you use months with 31 days to calculate the due date, it will be earlier.

In the meantime, I tried for the second time to get the stroller (Baby Jogger, because it is relatively small and accepts the Canada-approved car seat available here) from the store. On Wednesday, they had kept saying that it was ready and assembled within just another five minutes for way too long. This time, the stroller was ready. In fact, one of the assistants immediately hurried to get it when I came in. Unfortunately, the car seat didn't have any belts attached to it. At least, this gave me the time to take everything apart and put it together again. I wonder: How did people manage before strollers were high-tech machines?

On a completely unrelated topic: I have been asked to put also an image of myself onto the blog. Here you go:
