Basically I am blogging to get rid of the belly shot that was sitting at the top of my blog. HAHA.
I still have a cough from the chest infection- it is getting better but I had to go and get more medicine from the chemist yesterday. I am not sure if it is reaction from the medicine but since last Friday I have been itchy all over my arms, legs, back and stomach. There is no rash of any kind and we didn`t start using different detergent or anything so I have no idea why. It is very annoying though.
Shun has been working really late these last couple of weeks so I am home alone for a lot longer- he leaves here at about 8:45am (starts work at 10am in Tokyo) and hasn`t been coming home til about 11pm. It wouldn`t be so bad if I wasn`t home pretty much EVERY day alone….I am so bored. He wants to work late now on the project so that when the baby comes he doesn`t have to work as late and also so that he could take a couple days off without getting worried about getting called into work.
There are actually heaps of things I could be doing at home but I don`t have the energy/motivation but here is a list anyway (cos who doesn`t love a good list!)
- Writing
-Sewing
-Knitting
-Cleaning
-Baking
- Studying
Oh and there is heaps more. Instead I sleep, watch TV, spend time on the internet, cook dinner and then go back to watching TV. Sometimes I have skype chats with friends! I either want the baby to arrive OR I want some motivation to fall from the sky!

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
Relax while you can and don’t feel guilty about it. Trust me, this is your big chance to lay around so go for it!
Sarah: Hehe, well at least someone doesn`t think I am just been lazy for the hell of it! I am quite uncomfortable now- especially because when I cough my belly hurts so most of the time all I feel like doing is laying around! It will be the last time for awhile that I have any time to myself though I suppose so I guess I should make the most of it.
I’m with Sarah.. laze about… eat when you want… sleep when you want! These are things you won’t have much control over when goma-chan arrives. Although I’m sure he will be a little angel <3 I still don’t get any control over when I can eat.. Sakurako is my top priority so I often forget!
I too still have a cough. It seems to pick up again once I have been in the cold air.. It’s hurting my head when I cough… and I sound like a cow being put to death!
I must say I’m a little jealous of Shun being thoughtful enough to work late now instead of when the baby arrives… Riki didn’t think about that! In fact he was too scared to ask his manager If he could leave work earlier to visit us because visiting time finished at 7pm! He got one day off work, which was the day Sakurako was born… and he worked every day until we came home. Was pretty lonely being the only one without their hubby visiting everyday -_-’
I was the same throughout the end of my pregnancy….no energy, absolutely no motivation. Sometimes I would just go to the convini and buy a bunch of garbage and come home and scarf it down, and then sleep….enjoy it, you will realize you deserved it after the baby comes!
You are basically describing an average day for me and I don’t have any reasons/excuses for it
How far are you up to now? I worked my way through the entire 15 seasons over the first half of this year…felt like I was constantly crying!
It must suck to have the long days at home with less Shun than usual but if it means he’ll be around more when Goma-chan comes then it can only be a good thing! And also gives you more time to mainline er episodes
I know how you are feeling (besides the fact that I am not in the uncomfortable part of my pregnancy) and I am sure with Shun working even longer hours at the moment it makes each day feel like it’s dragging on and on and on…
I agree with everyone else though, try to enjoy the last few weeks you have to do nothing!! I like Cassie’s idea of buying lots of junk at the convini and eating till your heart is content. Sounds like a great idea to me
