Would be nice if he came out with some though! hehe. I am surprised they can see it on an ultrasound but the doctor seemed pretty sure and I guess he would know. Maybe the machines at my clinic are really good or something? He mentioned it when it was on the 3D function. Your little one has some hair! It is just very fair- I think Goma-chan`s first lot of hair will be dark but will then fall out and come in lighter maybe. Mine all fell out after I was born and grew back blond- I didn`t go brown til I was in school! Marianne- Apparently he has hair- I am not so sure. Would be nice if he came out with some though! hehe.

I can not believe that we will be meeting Goma-chan in less than 3 months- even if I go a week overdue he will still be here by this time in December. Will be a great Christmas present I think!

I only wrote it up on the computer although he has a couple of other letters in my journal- I will eventually have to photocopy them for his book. I am so grateful that I have friends who will have kids of similar ages- even though we are far away in terms of distance, we are still brought closer by our friendship. Plus we try to meet up whenever we can. Hope you have enjoyed having S, S & R at your place. I have told Ryohei before- Aussie`s rule. He needs to get used to it :-) I will need to print it out for Goma-chan I think Heather.

Would also be helpful if you stopped peeing your pants and yelling at me. Thanks, mama" Still in the market for the baby bath! I have a list of baby stuff we still need to get (pretty much set though!) and next to baby bath I have your initials! So yes, please send it our way!

I am going to have to print out the letter I think and put it in Goma-chan`s book (like a baby record book) - I have been pretty slack about writing things in there but it does have a lot of post-its stuck in the front like the first time I felt him and the first time Shun felt him etc. The DVDs will be added to the book too. I bought the book before we knew if he was a boy or a girl but I was so sure that he would be a boy that I bought the blue one anyway- not that blue is bad for girls! Thanks Elizabeth!

But the doctor mentioned it although I can not really make anything out when I looked at the DVD again. They are still giving us a DVD everytime which is great as I can not wait to watch them with goma-chan when he gets older. I had a lot of hair when I was born so maybe he is taking after me in that retrospect? Melanie- Yeah- I was surprised they could see hair as well.

That is so cute that Dylan does not know his own name- I do not think I knew my real name til I started school though either since I was always Lulu at home and around friends. Nay`s surname in Japanese has the word "cow" in it which is where the idea for her nickname came from- I guess my baby is a "little cow" too since it will also be born in the year of the cow. So was I for that matter! Jessica- Oh I am glad that the umbilical cord thing is normal- I tried googling but that is not always the best idea.
