How lovely is it to have a sunny weekend! I can't remember the last time it happened. It is actually pretty warm too and supposed to be for the next week so I'm happening this is officially the start of spring. Bring it on!
Not too much of excitement has been going on here! Hub had a friend's wedding yesterday so left the house before 9 to get there. His friend provided a room at the hotel for him and others even though it's only about 40 minutes from where we live. Super nice and no need for me to play taxi driver or for hub to sleep in his car. The latter would probably be what would have happened. He called me last night before he went to the second party to say a bunch of them were going to have lunch today and he wouldn't be home until 3. I hung up on him after hearing that and he apparently realised it wasn't a good idea and was home by 11:30. He is now outside playing soccer with Liam and the three of us went for a walk to a nearby park a little earlier.
Liam and I actually had a nice day yesterday! We took advantage of the weather and went to the nearby Michi no Eki with a lunch box that we made together. There is a river with ducks and carp so we had a bit of a wander and then he played in the park there. The wind was rather chilly yesterday though so it was a bit much for me after a while and we came home. I used a 7-11 ice cream to bribe him to leave so we were all happy :-) I had a class here late yesterday arvo but Liam kept himself entertained with a DVD. We then had lasagna for dinner which was very yummy. I hadn't made it for ages but Liam loved it too and had a massive helping. I had lots too but left room to pig out on a yummy crunchy filled cadbury block of choc after Liam went to bed.
It has been quite a weekend of eating actually. Liam and I had pancakes for breakfast with some fresh fruit. I am still full I'm sure that will change soon. Hub has offered to make me tofu gyoza for dinner which is one of my fave foods.
Everything with Miss M is going well and my stomach is getting very big. I think it's about the same size as it was when I gave birth to Liam. It's suddenly got more pronounced so I have lots of random people commenting on it. I was back at the doctor last week and everything is looking good. He was happy that I haven't put on much weight the last month and asked if I had been putting in a special effort or was feeling too sick to eat. Neither is true though! The same thing happened when I was pregnant with Liam. I put on lots of weight at the beginning and basically nothing for the last 2 months. It would be nice if that was the case this time but we will have to wait and see. Miss M is average size according to the doctor but when I looked at some charts with average weights she seemed to be biggish. Nay, we will have to compare weights lol! I guess we can only wait and see too.
Enjoy the sun everyone!!!!

- I am a 32 year old Aussie who has been in Japan for almost 12 years. I live in a rural town with a Japanese husband, genki 5 year old son and adorable baby girl.

Miss family and friends in Australia, all the fun things to do and the yummy food of course but life in Japan is pretty good most of the time :-)
Ooh I still need to try that tofu gyoza! Have you used any of the soy mince yet? I'm going to be using it in a lasagna this week... don't know what I would do without it as I eat it so often!
返信削除Spring is definitely just around the corner and I can't wait!! I am so enjoying the slightly warmer weather that has been around since the weekend. Goodbye winter and hello sakura season :)
返信削除Have you had any randoms coming up and touching your stomach yet?! I don't like it much at all but what I find weirder is that in a country where that is so common, my own MIL has not once touched or asked to touch my stomach...
I can't believe that you are not putting on weight anymore!! I wish that was the case with me - I found that as soon as I hit the 30 week mark I can't help how much weight I gain... It's kind of scary actually, lol!
Hi Umebossy! I did try the soy mince in pasta sauce and it was yummy! I keep forgetting to use it again though.
返信削除Nay, I spoke too soon about not putting on weight! I have been eating like crazy for the last week and was horrified when I got on the scales last night.
I have had quite a few people touch my stomach but mainly people I know! I don't love it but am not as uncomfortable as I was first time around. My MIL must be quite similiar to yours as she has never touched mine or even really asks me about my pregnancy.
