I am already getting that "what is this princess talk" look from people :( But thanks ladies for the info on obs in Argentina. I can now have more realistic expectations of what is going to happen in the next few months. I know it sounds crazy but this baby came too soon and I guess mentally we...

My husband had some dollars that he needed to exchange to pesos (work money) and needed official paperwork, so he went to Banco la Nacion, and got it done in 15 mins... Although they looked at him kind of funny. I'm just amazed at how different the experience is when it's the other way around.

What I love the most is the paralelo, I've been told that it gets higher during holidays? Can anyone give me suggestions about when Is a good time to exchange? Do Argentinians mostly stay here for Christmas and go on vacation in Jan?

Belgrano Day School http://www.bds.edu.ar/?lang=en I heard it is the best in Belgrano. I also considered sending my daughter there in march when she turns 2. But decided not to send her to any school until she is 4.

Welcome and congrats! Where in BsAs do you live? Although it might be a while before your baby girl can play with other children, we have play groups regularly in the belgrano area, let me know if you would like to join us sometime :)

I bought half a watermelon yesterday, it tasted awful, but I still ate all of it :)
