A handmade baby blanket from Mimi ;)

Andrew's parents came to visit us for 2 weeks in March.

We had such a wonderful time together. We were able to take them to a place we hold dear, and colored our memory with more great stories! It was too bad that they did not get to see full bloomed sakura. Anyway, Mimi brought her kit to make our baby blanket with her. She started making it 2 months before she came here and finished making it a few days before they left Japan. Guess how many meters of cotton thread she used? More than 2000 meters!!!!! Our wee baby must be excited to use the blanket. Thank you so much, Mimi :)

Bright Baby updates from Winter 2010

Andrew and I found out that we were having a baby at the end of October, 2010. I took a pregnancy test and came out as positive but could not believe that this was happening to me! I went out to a Korean style BBQ with my co-workers on November 3rd and threw up everything I had on that night. Then I realized that I was missing something, so took a pregnancy test again and it came POSITIVE! This time we were pretty sure that I was pregnant. We were both very happy and excited about our first child :)

This ultra sound was taken in the States when we visited our family in Kentucky. A wee baby Bright looks like an angel growing inside of me ;)

We had a nice doctor's check-up and Andrew's family was so happy to hear the news. My morning sickness was not too bad. I had heart burn quite often and threw up 3 times. I am 27 weeks pregnant and a bit late to update my blog on our baby Bright....please look forward to seeing more pictures!

PACKAGE arrives!!!

A great package from one of our good friends arrived today!

Joe and Sherona who live in the US sent us wonderful baby gifts : ) Oh it made our day!

They sent us so many cute stuff that we cannot wait to put on our baby girl, especially a green dress that Andrew is holding! :-) Colours of clothes are very vivid and cute that we rarely see in Japanese baby clothes. Thank you sooooo much, Joe and Sherona!!!

We are so blessed to have such great friends who care about us and our baby girl. Sherona is having a baby boy in a few weeks. We hope everything goes well with her delivery! Reina is going to be a big sister soon ;) How exciting it is!

Many thanks to Joe and Sherona :)

beautiful gift to school

My mother-in-law Mama Jane gave beautiful flower to GenkiJACS before she left Japan.

It makes me smile and happy every time I see it and it reminds me of my parents-in-law.

Thank you very much. Everyone loves it!!!!
