Sista in Tokyo

3 Years + 5 Months + 8 Random Things + Water Bottles = So Much to Be Thankful For!

 


(Don't you just love the the title of this post?) 

Yesterday we celebrated our 3-year anniversary and Baby K's 5 Month birthday!  Can't believe I've been a wife for three years, who would have thought?  Actually, I would have.  But, people often tell me they didn't think I was the marrying type because I was so career-driven.  Eh? ;) That just goes to show, just because a young woman is about her business doesn't mean she can't and won't settle down.  She's probably waiting patiently for someone who's all about HIS business to come along, so they can handle their business together.  Okay, that's enough sentences with 'business' in it, hehehe.  You get what I'm saying!

Anywho, our little angel is 5 months old and boy, is she a joy!!  Oh how we love her so much!  She's an active little something and so cuddly wuddly!  Always climbing trying to get somewhere.  She smiles and laughs all of the time.  She rolls over, and she knows how to use her voice to get anything she wants.  Yep, we love her to peices.

We are fine.  I am writing this brief post from my in-law's home in Oregon with my lovely little Baby K sound asleep at my side.  G is still in Tokyo, missing us :) and we are truly missing him.  It's been a long and intense past few weeks, but things are beginning to get back to normal and we hope to return to Tokyo at the end of this month.

I truly appreciate everyone's sweet messages and prayers.  With the excepton of a minor inconvenience it caused our family, we are fine.  However, the Tohoku region is not fine and my guess is that it will not be for some time.  The Tohoku region holds a very special place in my heart, as I considered Sendai my "Japan Hometown" since I attended Tohoku University.  I am still in disbelief over what has happened there.  Please, keep the region and victims in your prayers as they begin to get their heads around it all and attempt to rebuild.

Week 26 Photo, Saturday Family Bike Ride in Tokyo

  

Yesterday, we took a family bike ride around Tokyo's Imperial Palace and through the Marunouchi district.  Here's a little a photo from our bike adventure.  We've been taking these rides since May and I admittedly prefer riding my bike around town more than hopping on the treadmill at the gym.  Though, I am thinking I will try out the pool at the gym soon as an alternative cardio workout.  I've been trying to get in routine cardio exercise on a regular basis in attempt to make things easier to welcome my little angel into the world when she is good and ready.

My belly shape morphs from looking like a lemon, a pear, and my personal favorite a hershey's kiss on a daily basis.

According to our synchronized iPhone apps (nerds!), we are 26 Weeks and 5 days!  We have 94 days left until our due date, you do the math!  Since the baby can come later or earlier than the 'official' due date, I'm not really focusing on that.  She will come when the Lord is ready for her to introduce herself.  But... I think she will come early.  She's such a sweet baby already, we just can't wait to meet her!
