1ST ANNIVERSARY - Week 26

04/28/2012, me and your papa got married in Osaka. It was one of the happiest days in my life.

We decided to be together afresh. 

It's past but about 1 week ago, it was your papa's birthday. I got ready secretly and celebrated with some friends. Even he doesn't feel comfortable to be one year older, always "Birthday" is good. 

Im looking forward to celebrate your birthday too.

But unfortunately he is a little sick now. Because he works hard at his job and making many house small things to get ready for you (also, he wants to finish many things before your grandma comes here). I'm surprised how tough he is. 

We just came back form San Francisco last night. Your papa had to work over there. He worked sooo hard there too. Me? I did shopping and bought your cute clothes :) 

Did you feel the different air? 9 hours! He drove that long way. Some places were chilly, some places were crazy hot. On this trip also I could see many beautiful things. Beautiful blue sky, birds, great bridge, super big moon! I want to show you many things like this.

It's only 1 year since I came to America. But I went to many places with your papa already.

Seattle, Vancouver, Texas, Japan. After we knew you are in my belly, San Rafael, San Francisco, Hawaii...then we're gonna go to Japan next week. 

You must be able to be tough kid like your papa! (that I love.)

Movers and Shakers (You and Us) - Week 23

Well little Koguma, it's been a while since I rapped at ya (name that reference!!). According to the app on our phones, you're meant to be as big as an ear of corn now. All of the comparatives on that app have been food. It makes your mama hungry. Truth be told, she's eating a lot. Which means you're eating a lot? You must like pizza, 'cause the other night mama ate 3 huge pieces. Of course you like pizza, you're a baby Buglio.

A couple weeks back we had another ultrasound. you were pretty active (genki) during that time. Moving quite a bit and throwing your arms and legs around. Wild style! This pic below is a little creepy, but I love the position of your fist.

You're kicking a bunch lately. I think your mama is wondering why you're so antsy, but I love it (sorry Nana). I just think it's your spirit. You want out of there and into the world. Good news on that front. You're about 16-17 weeks away from meeting everyone. Looking forward to that. Until then, stretch those legs and arms. It might annoy your mama a little, but I know she loves it.

We've been busy lately, getting the house ready for you (and the parade of visitors who will want to see you!). So if you hear some hammering, some sawing...rest assured. It's all in an effort to make our house ready for you. If it gets too loud, just give your mama a gentle kick. She can then tell me to put the hammer down for a bit.

You must be still small yet - Week 23

You are not big enough to act up in my belly, right?
But these days, I don't feel so. Your kick and punch is stronger than before. Before, I thought "Ah, Kogumachan woke up and is playing."
Now, sometimes I feel you are just angry at me. Because I lay down on my left side and you kick me so strong many times. Maybe you prefer left belly position?
If you do, maybe you are little bit grumpy ne. I will try to make you comfortable more.
