I had my first story time with Daddy today. Wait, let me clarify. I had my first story time with Daddy out here in the world today. We had a bunch of story times when I was in Mommy’s tummy. I’ve got to say, the sound quality out here in the world is a lotContinue reading “Story Time”

In Daddy’s arms
Daddy has been carrying me a lot today. Even when I’m fine being put down, he finds an excuse to carry me. I can’t really complain. I like it a lot! Even though I’m a big baby, Daddy can hold my entire body with one arm! Very impressive! I feel very safe and secure inContinue reading “In Daddy’s arms”
Baby face
I’m going to warn you that Mommy and Daddy absolutely adore me. So far, all they have done is stare at me. I’m not even doing anything. Seriously, I’m barely even awake. But all they do is stare at me. And the pictures. They are taking tons and tons of pictures of me doing nothing!Continue reading “Baby face”
Home sweet home
We got home safely and I took to our place very quickly. I did not cry as much as I did in the hospital. I think I knew that the hospital was not home and there is no place like home. Mommy and Daddy showed me around and I think I’m going to like livingContinue reading “Home sweet home”
First car ride
I had my first car ride today. I can’t say that I’m a big fan of cars, or more like I can’t say that I’m a big fan of being strapped into a car. I like my freedom and don’t usually enjoy being restricted. I was not really happy and I cried a little bit,Continue reading “First car ride”
And we are outta here
We got discharged from the hospital. Many thanks to all the wonderful doctors, nurses, and midwives that took care of Mommy and me! We cannot express how thankful we are for all you have done to make us a family! Best wishes and I hope everyone stays healthy, happy, and safe!
Daddy’s here!
Yay! Daddy is here to take us home! We finally got the okay to leave. Let’s get this show on the road!
All dressed up and nowhere to go
Here I am looking my best in my new outfit and now I’m stuck waiting. Mommy’s packed up and ready to leave the hospital, I have all my belongings ready to go, Daddy’s in the parking lot waiting for the okay to come up and get us, but we are still here. What’s the deal?Continue reading “All dressed up and nowhere to go”
All Dressed Up
Mommy and I are being discharged from the hospital today. It is standard practice in Japan for mother and baby to be admitted to the hospital for a week. The nurses and midwives watch over them and make sure everyone is doing well before they go home. They even give the mothers basic lessons onContinue reading “All Dressed Up”
Poser
I know that parents like to take a lot of pictures of their kids, so I thought I should toss in a few poses. Without the poses, all the pictures would look the same. The problem is that I am sleeping for most of the day. So, I’m doing my best to pose in myContinue reading “Poser”
Tall boy
I was born at a good length of 51.5 cm (21.28 in.). I think everyone expected me to be plump, round, and fat when they heard about my estimated weight. But I’m not fat at all. If anything, I’m on the athletic side. Long and strong. I have long legs, big feet, and I alsoContinue reading “Tall boy”
Rough night
I’ve been giving Mommy a tough time these past few nights. I have been sleeping a lot during the day and crying a lot at night. I’ve been keeping Mommy up and possibly waking up the entire hospital ward. It’s not completely my fault. I’m still getting used to life on the outside and tryingContinue reading “Rough night”
It’s all downhill from here
For some reason the baby bed/cradle at the hospital is at an angle. I’m sure there is some safety reason for it, but they should post a weight limit on it. I think I’m too heavy for it and I end up sliding down to the bottom. I hear that kids like slides at theContinue reading “It’s all downhill from here”
Staring
With Mommy always looking at me I figured that maybe I should do the same. Looking at it from her point of view, it could be slightly unnerving. But sometimes you just can’t help but stare.
Bundle of Joy
I hear that babies like to be swaddled, all wrapped up like a little baby burrito. I don’t think I’m that kind of baby. I’m okay for a while, but then I need my freedom. I wriggle my arms out and sometimes kick my covers off. All in the name of freedom. But I guessContinue reading “Bundle of Joy”
Crying Punching Kicking
Us babies are fickle things. We can go from this ↑, peaceful and content, to this ↓, crying, punching and kicking, in a matter of seconds. By the way, look at that arm and leg action. Now you know why Mommy’s belly was moving so much when she was pregnant with me.
Hiccups
I got the hiccups. I used to get them a lot when I was in Mommy’s tummy but I never thought I would have them out here too. I know they may look and sound cute, but they are tiring.
Milk Attack
I have to share this traumatic experience I had last night. Mommy was breast feeding me as always and it is usually the happiest part of my day. I’m a good eater and Mommy has no problem feeding me. So things were going as normal. I stopped feeding for just a second to catch myContinue reading “Milk Attack”
Eyes open
Most of my day is spent sleeping, eating or crying. During those three activities my eyes are always closed. But every so often when I am calm and have nothing else to do, I open my eyes and take in the world around me. It is bit overwhelming! There are so many colors and soContinue reading “Eyes open”
Meeting Daddy
Today I got to meet Daddy for the first time! I had heard so much about him and chatted with him a couple times through FaceTime, but I got to see him in person! Well, “see” might be the wrong word. I was sleeping peacefully when he came to visit and I didn’t wake upContinue reading “Meeting Daddy”
