Hmmm... Awake again...

Just past 3am here... I woke up for going to the bathroom like 30mins ago, n now I'm awake n can't go back to sleep. Oh well, I'm almost 35wks pregnant now, so no wonder it's like that. The doctor said I will probably have this baby girl earlier than due date, possibly in a couple of weeks? I hope, at least after we move to the house!

Yep, we found "the" house! We went to see this house yesterday, we knew we were gonna like it. It's a lil over budget, but couldn't give it up. It has 5.5 bedrooms(.5 is for storage? It's big enough for a nursery but no A/C), 1 full Japanese bath(toilet is separated from the actual bathroom. N only 1 toilet... That's the only negative point.), all rooms are smaller than what we had in the states, but bigger than what we saw in the other houses here, there are 2 nice size storage downstairs(besides that .5 room), has a big built-in book shelf in the master bedroom, also a nice big built-in shelf in a hallway downstairs, I guess we can use that for dried/can food storage. These all storage future is very rare in Japan. We have so much craps, so we really need it. The house was built in 2004, so only 6yrs old, which is pretty new, all floors are wood floor too. I wish I could take a picture, but no lights inside yet n was heavy raining outside. Now we are gonna just wait for the contract between base n the realtor, I hope everything will go smooth...

Back to the baby subject... I will not be able to get epidural this time... Epidural is not popular in Japan, most of women here have birth without it. There is only 1 doctor who do epidural in this area n he(she?) is overbooked till November. Oh well, I should be okay... I am pretty sure that I won't have a long labor. I will probably just break Chris's arm, that's all.

Damn, I am not sleepy at all... I couldn't sleep well last night either, as long as I keep myself busy in daytime, I won't get sleepy later. But I think I need to get a lil more sleep... Gotta try going back to sleep now!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day!!

We had a wonderful day today. We went to Saikai Pearl Sea Resort, which is 10mins from base by taxi. First we enjoyed 50mins cruise on the pirate ship "Kaiou", then we had a great lunch. After that we went to the aquarium which we really loved it! They have 3 young dolphins, they love to play, even between the shows. They just throw balls out of the pool n play catch ball with us. Kids had a great time there!

After we left there, it was time for dinner. So I asked "Daddy"(Chris) what he wants to eat. He's been craving for clams... Well, he always loves clams. So we tried this Japanese "Izakaya"(like bar & grill type) restaurant by Sasebo station. OMG, this place was awsome! Not so expensive but everything was delicious! He had 2 and a half bowls of clams! Yep, he was happy.;))

I hope all fathers are having great Father's day with their family!!

I'm baaaaack!

Yep, I am back to Japan, well it's already been a week since we got here... But most importantly we finally got us cellphones, which means I am back to my mobile life! Yay! We had those rental cellphones but it was just for receiving calls(incoming calls are free, but they charge us about $1 per minute for making calls!) n txt messages which we were having hard time typing.lol

First, we were gonna wait for iPhone4, then we couldn't even get a reservation... N I was told that we may not get it for a while... So... I am not happy about this at all but... Couldn't wait any longer, no choice... We bought iPhone3Gs... Yes, right around the time iPhone4 comes out... I need to close my eyes n get over this!!lol

But I am happy that I am back to my mobile life.:)) It makes my life so much easier n functional. Couldn't live without this another day!lol I hope I will be able to blog n show some Japan here on Rollin' MAMA!
