Grown in Japan: January 2013
http://japanborn.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 25, 2013. Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice. Just a short update: I had my 20 week appointment and ultrasound today and found out officially that we have a healthy baby girl! Theo didn't seem surprised at all since he told me that it was a girl from the very beginning. He also told me that William was going to be a boy from day one so maybe the kid has a knack. Here is the one token photo that they gave me today showing a profile of her face and chest. Friday, January 18, 2013. This wee...

Grown in Japan: My Flesh and Blood
http://japanborn.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-flesh-and-blood.html
Friday, March 1, 2013. My Flesh and Blood. My blood type was not news to me by any means, since I donated blood regularly while a student in university. Mostly because, though not insanely rare, my blood type is only shared by 3% of Canadians and can be donated to anyone with A or AB /- blood (sorry all you O's and B's, you're out of luck). For both of my previous pregnancies I received a shot. The creepiest part of this drawing are the little Pacmans. Eating away at the sign. My Flesh and Blood.

BlackKitty's Korner...: October 2013

Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Lately I've been on a personal finance kick. I'm on my third finance book, with many more on my wish list at Audible. This fascination started a few years ago, when, in an effort to make sure I'll be ready to handle my own income, I picked up a book called "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi. About saving money, but I wanted to know more. It also mad...

Grown in Japan: Trust Issues
http://japanborn.blogspot.com/2013/04/trust-issues.html
Thursday, April 25, 2013. My first encounter with this was the extremely quick ultrasounds. Submission has never been one of my strong points, but it turned out that adopting this attitude helped me tremendously during labour and delivery where Dustin and I had no idea what was going on pretty much the whole time and had no input whatsoever. I will most definitely be writing about the birth in greater detail in the future. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gaijin Housewife in Japan. Back to Bunny Island.

Grown in Japan: June 2013
http://japanborn.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 11, 2013. The boys are absolutely thrilled to have a little sister and baby in the house. Theo assumed the role of protective and doting big brother right away. William surprisingly doesn't seem too bummed out that he is no longer the baby but has been shifted to middle child status. He isn't as interested in her as Theo, but always gives a token "aaaaawwwwww! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Gaijin Housewife in Japan. Ikebana with kids: A fun summer holiday activity.

Grown in Japan: November 2013
http://japanborn.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 2, 2013. Recovery and Post Partum. Dustin, right before being unceremoniously kicked. Out of my room for the night. The next morning, at 6 am, the midwife came back into my room. How could her shift possibly be this long? Maybe she went home for a few hours and came back for the morning shift? It was a horrifying thought. This woman was immovably rigid and unyielding in her out-dated and counterproductive polices and there was no way Rosie and I could survive a week in her care.

Sunday, March 31, 2013. Prenatal Ultrasounds in Japan. Even though this condition is not known to be genetic, it is impossible to not be eternally edgy after you have a child born with any kind of congenital condition. End of pregnancy rant for now. Thursday, March 21, 2013. The Personal Side of Pregnancy. For some reason, Dustin felt the need to snap a picture of me. Looking as crappy as I was feeling at that moment. This photo was taken about a week and a half ago when I hit 27 weeks. Things should...

BlackKitty's Korner...: Hiking in Sandan-kyo
http://blackkittyknits.blogspot.com/2013/10/hiking-in-sandan-kyo.html
Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Monday, October 7, 2013. I really like hiking. It's one of those things my family did pretty often when I was a child, then fell away once we moved to New York City. For a few years now, I've been itching to go hiking, and when a friend of ours told us about this place, I decided that I'd visit it before I leave Japan. Once it was over, we took a bath as a family, which was really nic...

BlackKitty's Korner...: April 2013

Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Saturday, April 20, 2013. A Time of First Meetings. So after about 20 hours of traveling, we have finally arrived to New York City! I also had a chance to finish two movies, Billy Elliot and Hitchcock, both of which I liked very much. They had The Hobbit, too,but I dared not start such a long movie, in case I couldn't finish it. We got through immigration smoothly and our luggage came...
