It's official... we are moving to Maine!

We will be moving to Maine the last week in February.   I'm excited, but also very nervous and overwhelmed.  DH and I are flying up in a few weeks to look for a house to rent (we don't want to buy until we are more familiar with the area).  DH will be working in Auburn (at the Tambrands plant), so we are looking in that area, as well as Durham, Brunswick, and Freeport.  

Any suggestions for preschools, pediatricians, Ob/Gyns, dentists, kids activities, etc.. are welcome!  I'm sure I will have lots of questions as we get settled.

  • Let me know where you guys land-- I lived in Auburn then moved to Lewiston when we bought our house. I work at CMMC hospital here in Lewiston-- our OB/GYN docs are AWESOME. But if you end up moving further from DH's work, you may want something closer to the home...

    Anyhow, WELCOME!!  Smile

  • I also grew up and now live in Lewiston. My dad actually works at Tambrands for over 3 years. Not sure what your hubby's position is but when he is there, but if he is a machinist/engineer he will probably working close to my dad. Toddler Inn is a great daycare right near Tambrands. I use CMMC for all my doctors and hospital visits and have had wonderful experiences. ?Some other places to look for houses are Turner, Leeds, Greene and Monmouth. Welcome and hope you like Maine!?

  • Welcome to Maine!  I also lived in Lewiston recently and just moved to Monmouth with my husband and daughter, great schools and a really nice little community close to Lewsiton/Auburn. Good luck with the move and stay in touch on the board there are lots of great women here!

  • Welcome! I'm also "from away" (as they say here); I've been here for 10 years. Maine is a great place to raise a family.

    My DH is from Pownal (next to Freeport; Freeport/Pownal/Durham are in the same school district) and he turned out ok. Pownal isn't exactly a bustling metropolis, but as they say, "at least I'm not from Durham!" Wink

  • If you end up in Brunswick, we like Bowdoin Medical Group (soon to be Martin's Point but on Baribeau Dr.) for our PCP's as well as our pediatrician.  I used MidCoast Women's Health for OB/GYN and loved my MW there.

  • Welcome! I don't have any recommendations for you though!
  • Good luck with the move!  I'm a fairly recent transplant, but we're down in Portland, so I don't have any real advice...we are very happy we made the decision to move, though, so hopefully you'll feel the same :)

  • Welcome to Maine!

    We live out of state now, but I grew up in Bath, just outside of Brunswick and LOVE that area. I gave birth to my son this past July at Midcoast Hospital and adored my OB/GYN at the Midcoast practice (Dr. Streeter) as well as the peds there (Dr. Haan). There are a ton of things to do in the area, and having Bowdoin right there brings a lot of great musical/theatre/artistic events, not to mention great foods. If you happen to see a copy of the latest issue of Maine Magazine while you're up scouting, their "24 Hours In..." is on Brunswick this month, and has some great suggestions.
