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!!

"the best part of dating isn't the right guys you meet, or the ones that broke your heart. it's all about the goofballs you met on the way"
ee hee! LOVE YOU!

my wittle alien baby. 19 weeks & 3 days!

they stole my heart.












































These two stole joe's. kee hee. I kinda like the orange Chinese guy.

a week ago me and Joe spent a few days visiting his parent's place! whee! it was loads of fun, though the long stuffy train rides were one big drag! BUT! I'm not one to complain, PTL, it wasn't anything compared to the great fun we had with all the Hirasawa bunch!:) it was good to see them all, and I FINALLY met his oldest sister! nyahaha, ten thousand years later man! seriously, it was nice to finally meet her in person.
she's a cool person and so is her cool photography! tee hee, we had a little "photo shoot" in the park. yay! i'm happy for some focused, neat, clear photos!:) nyaha! thanks Lils!! xx
anyhow, the photos below will prove the fun, happy times!
miss you all!!
and to nina, shebs and jenny...
"DA-DAN!!" (with really big eyes that get bigger! ahahahaha) xxxxx

Sakura

we didn't do anything this sakura...as in, witnessing, ballooning, dancing...sniff..it dosen't feel right!! whaaaaa. oh well..but we DID have our own little BBQ in our back yard, since we have two sakura trees of our own:)

it was simple, but very oishi!! the alcohol was really tempting, but i stuck to my hotdogs! tee hee.

oh, and on another special note, I thought i'd mention the official of my sweetie pie's new home! I'm so happy to have such a cool, funny, lovable roommate!:)

well it's been a while since i've posted.

things have been really busy with the moving. for those of you who don't know, Joe will be moving in in about one week! weeehhooo! exciting. hee hee. so yes, things have been VERY busy with people moving in and out of rooms...

pray for us! I just wanna see results!:)

anyhooow

I thought i'd post some photos of my wee wittle tummy of four and a half months. can't wait till i get all big and end up waddling...well..hahaha

hope you guys are all happy and healthy!!

and enjoyed the Noda event, sounded like a bunch of happiness from what i hear..

love you!

I post.

it's pouring rain outside...my back is KILLING me...i'm overtired, and so I keep this short.:)

just thot i'd post some photos of our recent free day, we had a little McDonald's gathering, ate so much I think I wanna stay away from that good ol' fast food restaurant for a while! and thanks to my fiancee, best friend, and mari, I don't think i'll get near a hamburger for a while!!! ahhahahaha. they are so cruel, depriving me of such goodness. tsk.

ooh! i also managed to bake a lemon meringue pie and three banana cream pies, and Jesus decided to bless me and they turned out yummy!...if I should say so myself. tee hee. them being the first pies i've ever tried making. I don't think cakes are for me. sob.

my future family will have to suffice with pies. eehee.:D

aaaanyways,

I love you, and I hope your night is filled with really cool dreams.

mika tachi, inoteru yo! I feel for you, working till 2 in the morning...gambatte! don't let Elena disappear with HR, since today IS white day! kee hee hee.
