7 months no hajime!














the baby's really genki, moving around a lot these days! Joe gets to feel him move more often now, he's happy! hee hee, good baby! my cravings recently have been nato and rice, and cherris... yummy?! the pregnancy is going really smoothly, thanks to a lot of many of your prayers! please keep praying that the pooch will turn his head downwards, since he likes to go against the midwife;)
aaaand..a happy spring to all of you! it's been warming up like crazy these past days, finally seeing the kind of weather its supposed to be! TYJ!
Love you all!

Baby Blue

the legs have finally revealed their secret!

it's a BOY!




well, the midwife still isn't one hundred percent sure, but what we saw is definitely a shoot up to 90%! nyaha.

we're BACK!
..and I already miss all my wonderful in-laws!
it was a horrible mess...just like in the movies man. everyone was competing and not getting along well. the dads were always comparing and trying to show off who was cooler. the moms, who was the better cook. the kids....don't get me started!
NYAHA!!....definitely NOT! the two BIG families bonded!! whehoo! or at least both me and joe like to think... and we're right, right?!:D there was no arguments or quarrels! don't worry! tee hee.
camping was great fun! the weather was beautiful, on the last two days!:) but I thank Jesus anyways, cause even the rainy cold day was really exciting too! tanoshikatta! I'll be sure to get the photos from dad, since I haven't used my camera on this trip..., and post them soon enough!
and for other topics...
it's good to be back home, back into the schedule of daily life.
the baby's kicking a lot now, it always makes me smile each time:) each night before I go to bed, I sit there and beg the pooch to kick for me; of course, my baby loves me so much, he always does:) nee hee! joe gets to feel them once in a while, usually the baby shys away whenever he puts his hands on my tummy, even though he begs, "Kick for daddy! pleaaaaaseeee!"
baby don't want to.
haha, poor guy.
anyhow, the next check-up is in a week, and i'm counting on the midwife to use her experienced wisdom to give me the gender! nyaha! it's a 50/50 chance...or so she says. me and joe really wanna know!
as of this moment, everything is silent, other then the singing crickets outside. Joe's off to another job, and again, I miss him!!! sniff. I know I see him every day, but I hate going to bed all by myself. i'm not a big girl you know! sniff...I'm used to his wonderful cuddliness and funny jokes before we both knock ourselves out with sleep. but now I sleep alone, until he comes home at 12 or 1 in the morning and wakes me up (I know it's on purpose!), and I, having given up on staying up quite a while ago, grin really big and jump off the bed to hug him.
until then my love, I love you and miss you!!..and of course, praying for your safety! smooooooooooch!!!

well, today we are off on a Hirasawa/Wallace camping trip for a few days!
pray for us!
exciting! :)
I'll post photos when I get back!
luv U!

Okasan/Mother

"A mother's hands hold the universe."

If I were to be anyone

I'd chose to be you
Not only for your beauty
But for the things that make you honest and true

To have your faithful patience
And always constant love
Tender guidance and understanding
And forgiveness from above

To have your lips of wisdom
And heart that's all pure gold
To have your endurance
And arms that constantly hold

To have those eyes of sunshine
That cry tears of love
That rejoice through the difficulties
That hold gentleness like a dove

If I were to be anyone
I'd chose to be you
Not only for your beauty
But for the things that make you honest and true

One day I'll be a mother
And this is what I pray
That in the way you've been a mother
I'll be too, in every way

I love you mommy! You'll always be my bestest girl and number one hero! In every way you've managed to make me smile, laugh, sing, dance and believe, trust, live, and serve the Lord, I pray only that I too can do the same for my own child! Thanks so much for believing in me, trusting in me, and always being there to help me through all the tough and rough stages of my life! ...though, they'll never ever end!...so I still need you!! You're the coolest mom, and I love you so so much!! Happy Mother's Day!! ..a day you've DEFINITELY earned! I celebrate you!! xxxx

the start of six months, as of today:)

so the bump is finally starting to get that "pregnant" look. weeee! baby's kicking now, and I'm sure everyone gets excited each time! I do! :)
my hunger never goes away, and everyone calls me a pig. I dunno if that comes with being pregnant, but I'm happy to live with it! nyaha. everyone's so sweet in always meeting my needs, maybe I should be pregnant more often!!:p I know mika's shaking her head! haha. I am NOT t hat bad!! tsk...
hopefully next check-up we'll be able to find out the gender, I'm really hoping we can! everyone seems to think it's a girl, while there are those few who insist it's a boy. I really can't say...but I'm hoping for whichever! as long as its happy, healthy and strong!

aaaaaand, I guess that's the update on my exciting pregnant life!....of course, leaving out the real good details. tee hee.

sweet dreams! I love you love you all!!
