Yuka visits from Japan
We are hosting a Japanese student for a week. Her name is Yuka. She is very nice and friendly. Her English is good, but sometimes she speaks quietly and it is hard to hear what she says. Here are some pictures we have taken.
Yuka brought gifts from Japan including this hand puppet that her mother made. どうもありがとお母さん。あかちゃんはこれが好きです。
We visited a farm. This dog, Maggie, was very fond of Yuka. 牧場でこの犬はゆうかさんが好きです。
The horse was gentle, but large and scary to Yuka.
We are posing with horns next to the bison.
We visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City. This picture was taken from the top of the Conference Center. ソルトレークの教会
I took a short video of playing with the baby.

Milestones
This month has brought some large milestones for our koishi. He slept in his own room for 3 nights in a row. The first night he slept his normal schedule while the next 2 he woke up ready to party at 3:30am. After that he was back in the bassinet in our room. This week we are trying the crib again since I am off of work and in theory can handle thee lack of sleep a little better. Although he got to be back with us last night cause he was breathing hard and vomitting.
Cereal, we tried it. One night he slept through the night again then thee next he woke up a lot.so we will probably wait a bit more, until he is sitting up a bit better.
Laughing and giggles are becoming more frequent. He usually wakes up with giggles and ear to ear smiles for us. We love every moment!
He had his first neonatal review. This is a state run clinic with every specialist he would need. They check his growth, motor skills, eating habits, general health, ears, eyes, social worker (if needed), speech therapist when needed, and many others for when he gets older. He will go at his adjusted (due date) age, about twice a year. His next one is in June. They are very pleased with his growth. On the preemie chart for higth, weigth, and head circumfrence he is in the high 20%. Motor skills are right where they need to be, the 3-4 month (adjusted). Over all they all think he is doing great!
He has outgrown the bath tub insert. We are using the inner cushion part on the big tub now and he is really starting to love splashing.
Over all great month! A year ago we learned we would be expecting our second son. Even though it has been a crazy ride we love every moment with him!
Akahige turns 32 soon and I will be 31 tomorrow. 10 years ago we celebrated our birthdays together for the first time.
Time is an amazing concept. I hope that I can make good use of all the time I am given.

Mind Dump
(written on my phone)
Akahige was our knight in shining armour last night. To know him means you know he hates fluids. He even dislikes swimming. He hates bug goo, baby bubbles, sloppy kisses, anything that may be messy he hates. When it comes to killing spiders he usually sprays them and walks away. (Now don't get all emotional for the spiders, I made a deal with them. They don't come into my home and I will try my best not to ruin theirs in my garden.) I like to make sure they are gone from my home asap and usually find a flat surface to squish them. So background set, on to the main event. We had just put koishi down for the night and I started applying lotion to my abused forearms and hands, when I peeked at Koishi slumbering. Noticing something odd just inches from his adorable face I looked closer and saw one of those clear spiders.grrr... I tell akahige as I frantically try to rub the lotion in. Before I could finish, akahige had come in and with a tissue squished the offending spider. Day saved!!!
I have been having a rough go at things for a couple weeks. I get really out of sorts when I am soo tired. It doesnt help that I have been working my butt off trying to see all my clients and a small grouping complains that I am not working enough. So frustrating! To help me get out of my funk I am trying to do one extra task a day. So far this week I have moved a little bit of furniture and hung pictures. I have made dinner twice, changed my bed linens, and cleaned my bathtub. I have caulked around the tub again and loaded the dishwasher. Today I hope to get my office bath cleaned and dinner made, maybe finish hanging pictures. I an also trying to table my disposition towards work. This is a bit harder. Before becoming a massage therapist I was a nanny and worked in a daycare. It is really hard to not be the one who is caring for Koishi. So I am struggling with making my work a choice and not feel like is a "have to". Right now I don't feel like it is my choice. I feel obligated to care for my clients and financally tied to it in order to help pay bills. I know I am not alone, most moms hate working, but I don't want to hate it.
Well that's my early morning mind dump. Watch out spiders akahige is in the house
