31 Weeks Down, 9 To Go

Our little one has finally moved out of the breech position, and there is a strong feeling that we will be having a little girl. We have been blessed with good checkups and Yoko continues to feel great. She is enjoying her pregnancy. We have been picking up some baby things, and Erik's sister Sarah was very generous and got us a baby bouncer, a bath chair and some baby clothes.

Speaking of Sarah, she came out for a visit during Golden Week (Golden Week is a series of holidays in early May). With Sarah in town, we took in one of the local tourist sites, Boso-no-Mura. We also took Sarah to Costco for some shopping and enjoyed some tasty Indian curry. While Sarah was with us, she took some pregnancy photos and anniversary photos for us.

We celebrated our anniversary with a visit to Hamazushi which is a kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi restaurant. We had planned to have tiramisu (our wedding cake) after sushi, but Erik ate 20 plates so tiramisu will be enjoyed at a later time. We don't mind stretching out our anniversary celebration.
