IS IT A BOY OR A GIRL??

It's been a while since we posted anything, but here is the latest. We went to get another 4D ultrasound in Yokohama and this time it looks like it could be a boy!! The technician couldn't really tell but after the appointment was over Koko saw her in the restroom and she said 65% chance it's a boy. Hopefully if we get any gifts they are a neutral color, since we've never had 100% confirmation on the gender of our little bundle of joy that will be here in less than 2 months.

We still have a gift registry on http://www.amazon.com/. Search "wende" in the baby registry area. We have a lot of stuff already but constantly finding stuff that we need from the inventories in different books.

If you look closely you can see her pretty little face and long fingers, mostly you see her legs and arms. After 30 weeks it's difficult to get a good view of the baby's face in 4D but you can kinda see it. She's very active and playing with her cord in the videos, as the ultrasound technician said, "it the only toy she has right now".

On another note, we drove to Sasebo to see Koko's parents (1234km away) for Golden Week and my 33rd birthday. I was a longggg drive but something to do.

This is the Miyajima Shrine we went to on the way back.

プーケットへ

昨日で仕事納め、今日から待ちに待った冬休みです。
今日からプーケットへ年越し旅行へ出発します。おそらく、夫婦二人での最後の旅行です。お腹の中で育ちつつあるベイビーが大きくなって、また二人してでかけることが出来るようになるのは何年後なのでしょうか？
今回はゴルフ２ラウンド予定してます。ゴルフももしかしたら出産後落ち着くまで今回が最後かも。
今回の旅行について昨日初めて私の両親に話しました。母が飛行機乗っていいの！！？？と、少々切れ気味に電話してきました。日本とアメリカでは妊娠・出産に対する医療的な方針が少々違うようです。ベースの病院でのカウンセリングで、勿論今回の旅行について質問しました。すると速攻、３５週目までは問題ないよ、どこにでも行っていいよ。との回答。なので母上よ、心配なさらずに！！
では、皆様もどうかよいお年をお迎えください。
