I considered writing a “Living in New Zealand: Renting” post today, but decided against it after last week’s whining 🙂 Instead, I’m going to share what I consider to be some interesting, thought-provoking health statistics for both the United States (where I’m originally from) and for New Zealand. There’s no real rhyme or reason for… Read More Living in New Zealand: A Health Statistics Comparison
I’m so glad that it’s cooling off around here… it means I can wear scarves on a fairly regular basis 🙂 Really need to get a bedskirt/dust ruffle for our bed… or learn how to make one that will fit our ridiculously high bed frame.

Picking up from the last post… I have to admit, learning about Labor & Delivery in New Zealand and the differences between here and in the States was the most surprising for me, especially the part about how soon you’re discharged after birth – 2 to 4 hours postpartum. Labor and Delivery Just like in… Read More Pregnancy in New Zealand – Labor & Delivery
Hey everyone – I’ve gotten a few questions regarding the differences between being pregnant in the US and being pregnant in NZ. Since I’ve never been pregnant in the US and this is my first time being pregnant in NZ, I can tell you right now that my comparisons aren’t going to be exhaustive, but… Read More Pregnancy in New Zealand
