My cousin messaged me today to express her concern about the earthquake. Within that message was her telling me that she was pregnant and that she knows we had been trying and that she hopes the news wasn’t too hard to hear. See in 2016 when our fertility troubles had just started (that was when… Continue reading A pregnancy (not mine)…
Hello everyone! WordPress sent me a notification that I’ve received 200 followers. Holy shit! That’s pretty damn amazing is all I can say. From the bottom of my heart…thank you. What better way to celebrate than to offer those new followers a quick recap. If you’re new to this blog here’s a quick summary. For… Continue reading 200! A recap…
Hello! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I am recovering from a 6AM wake up yesterday and a late night out and a 7:30AM wake up this morning. (If I was tired because of children I think I’d be less likely to complain, but unfortunately that’s not the case right now.) On Saturday Mamoru… Continue reading About the weekend and the MC…
As of yesterday, my schedule is completely clear for next week, so I can use that time to recover. I told one freelance client that I was having surgery. She inquired what for and where, so I lied to her on both accounts. Japanese people can be so nosy sometimes. I hated lying to her,… Continue reading Waiting…
Trigger Warning! Graphic verbal descriptions of miscarriage. 3% is the chance of MC after seeing or hearing a heartbeat. As you know we saw a heartbeat at the 6 and 7 week ultrasounds. Week 8 there was no ultrasound because the doctor deemed it unnecessary. We’d start week 9 with and ultrasound and blood tests. … Continue reading 3…
Last post I mentioned that things had been rough. I had thought maybe with today’s doctors appointment things would be on the up and up. How wrong I was. I didn’t have to wait very long at the doctor before I was called in to have an ultrasound. The ultrasound was not like anything before. … Continue reading From bad to fucking nightmare…
Rough. Rough. Rough. That’s the best way to describe how it’s been the past two days. Mamoru had to work on Saturday, so it was just me lounging around watching “Queer Eye” (fantastic btw). Yesterday, we paid a visit to お父さん and ate a late lunch at a vegetarian cafe. Then we stopped by a… Continue reading Rough…
Yesterday, I went to have coffee with my yoga teacher who is leaving Japan in a few short weeks. She gave me some yoga bricks, a yoga strap, and a food processor. Because we met in a huge shopping area, I decided to pop into H&M to get some maternity pants. Mostly because I feel… Continue reading Shopping…
No doctor’s appointment this week. I’ll start at the hospital a week from today with a whole shitload of blood tests. Yay? Anyway, I went to work at Company H yesterday for the last time until mid-March. It was exhausting. I have to tell them about the pregnancy, but I don’t know when is a… Continue reading 8 weeks 2 days…
Today Mamoru went to the hospital where I want to give birth to get me established there. In order to do so he took my insurance card and waited there for me for more than three hours. I’m not kidding. He finished the paperwork at 9:10AM and I arrived at the hospital about 12:40PM. We… Continue reading Enjoying pregnancy…
