Congratulations on your new little one!🎉❤I hope once the first trimester goes quickly. The most important thing is to take care of yourself and don’t put unrealistic expectations on yourself.
I forgot to give you a tip when learning French: French people do NOT usually pronounce the "t", "e", and "s" at the very end of the word. They stress/ emphasise the last syllable of words: philosoPHIE. And "er" at the end of words is pronounced "é" so the "r" is not pronounced. If you have an "e" at the end of the word, you have 70% chance that is a feminine word (la, une table). And French does not like putting two vowels together so le + a becomes l'a or la + e become l'e.
How about Evan? That's pretty close to Eve! We moved to Brittany over a year ago, and I feel your pain every step of the way. I have also been in the medical system, including a surgery, hospitalization, nurse home visits, and the dreaded receptionists, all with horrible French. It does get miles easier with the receptionists when you get your Carte Vitale. Just make sure to have your Carte Vitale, passport, and previous medical reports/imaging ready to go when you sit down. Absolutely fantastic health care, just not as shiny. The first year is hellish, due to learning the language, the customs, submitting all the paperwork, etc. , but after that, you settle in and can really enjoy every minute of living in this beautiful country.
Gender reveal party/surprise/... is not a thing in France. Most people have not even heard of it and, except if you had showed multiple videos to every single person supposed to be involved in the preparation of the surprise, you would have had a high probability of a misapp. It's just not a thing, not surprised nobody understood what you were trying to do...they most likely still don't understand why anyone would do that. Same for baby showers. Friends, family and close colleagues usually get you gifts but not at a party like you have in the US.

Hi, very good and instructive videos. However, I am confused...I thought that any new visa holders in France had to wait for one year before getting the "Carte Vitale". For the first year of residency for any visa holders, I thought that one had to take up a private health insurance. During that first year, one could apply for the "Carte Vitale" but would only get it from the second year onwards in France. What is your take on it? Have you got the right information? Do you know that there is a long delay between the application time for the "Carte Vitale" and the reception of the card? Hope this helps. All the best, Sebastian
Hi Guys. Watching from FL and hoping to walk in your footsteps pretty soon. I have a suggestion for you. You said you loved the name Eve, after your sister when you thought you were having a girl. How about naming your boy Yves. This name for a French boy is pronounced "Eve". How cool would that be? It is SO French - like Yves St Laurent (perfume) and would sound exactly like rhe name you love and would also honor your sister!!!
That's a smart find however I have to say it's a bit of a dated name, even in my generation (90's kid) you wouldn't find kids with that name anymore. For the upper class though it's more common to give older names such as Louis or Edouard.

@@marilynleslie472 preach! Fortunately the first trimester has passed and things are back to normal. But wow.. that first trimester was a tough one

@@sebastianfoucaud268 thanks for the tip! This looks like French 101 in a single paragraph 😀

Julien for your boy!
Félicitations !
Name like Jean-Luc, Jean-François, Jean... is very dated names in France. Usually men born in the 60 or even before.
This happens to millions of people everywhere in the world and things usually work out. No problem.
Gabriel is the #1 name for baby boys in France, so you wouldn't want that. Raphaël and Léo are 2 and 3.

@@MacGregorLassie that is a very interesting suggestion! Thank you for sharing

Congratulations. I would say Jean-Claude, that's classic, that's French, you can be nicknamed "Cloclo", a lot of advantages...
Lemme guess. You’ve got
