Dear Goma-chan…
Dear Goma-chan,
Sometime in the next two weeks I will be holding you in my arms after 10 months of having you grow inside me- it is officially one week until your due date. You have no idea how excited this makes me feel and how excited I am to finally meet you and look into your eyes. Daddy is also very excited and asks me every day if I think today is going to be the day you arrive.
Your daddy and I are anxiously awaiting your arrival but we are all packed for the hospital and now it is just a waiting game. We hope you will be with us soon. A lot of people ask me if I am nervous but I don`t think I am- I think I am just ready to meet you more than anything and see what you look like. I am thinking you will look more like your Daddy but we will have to wait and see- Daddy is still hoping you might come out blue eyed and blond haired but I think he knows that that is VERY unlikely considering your genes.
You are still moving around a fair bit although your movements are a lot slower now- I guess that is because you have very little room to maneuver. You have also made my stomach grow out EVEN more which I did not think was possible causing a couple more stretch marks- it is a good thing I never planned on ever wearing a bikini again. Next summer when we take you to the beach for the first time I will have to find a nice one piece!!!
Auntie Cat sang a Scottish song to you last night and it caused a bit of a ruckus- I am not sure you liked it or hated it but it sure caused you to do some rapid movement AWAY from her voice (she was singing into my belly button). She thinks your Scottish genes from my mum`s side of the family must be coming through. You had your last izakaya meal for awhile too since Daddy & I went to Akihabara to see Ryomei who was visiting from Germany. You will get to meet him in person again in a couple of months but he liked to tell me over and over again that I was going to be a mother soon and that your Daddy was going to be a daddy- I don`t think he could quite get his head around it!!!
Some people really hate being pregnant and while the ride hasn`t always been fun I have enjoyed most of my pregnancy and not had that many issues. The scariest thing that happened was definitely when the doctor thought you might come early and I had to take medicine to make sure you stayed inside to grow some more- luckily it seemed to have worked very well because now the doctor thinks you will probably be late. I still remember when I found out I was pregnant and I was so excited and jumping up and down and your Daddy told me that because I was pregnant I should probably stop jumping because I was shaking you up too much. You have certainly been an active baby and started making a lot of movement very early on- our first ultrasound in Japan showed you swimming around like crazy and you still tend to move a lot when we see you on the screen at the doctors so it makes me wonder if you are going to be crawling and getting into mischief from a young age- highly likely considering what your Daddy & I were like as kids it seems. So far we have not child proofed the house but we might have to get onto that!!!
I hope you are not TOO late- I am a big fan of promptness and if you arrive early on time I promise to love you forever. Who am I kidding- I will love you forever anyway but it would still be lovely for me if you arrived sooner rather than later. Maybe the doctor will tell me tomorrow that you will be on your way soon- I hope that is the case and if not well perhaps you could take it a little easier on my bladder!!!
I love you more than you will ever know,
Love Mama

awww..Goma-chan will love reading this when he is older. It`s so lovely that you feel ready and excited to meet your little son. Just take your last week slowly and enjoy your time (you are probably bored beyond tears by now with waiting) but still..it will be the last time in your life that you are just you. In a week (more or less) you will be a mother to a beautiful little boy and your life will change in wonderful (and some less wonderful) ways. So take each day as it comes and savour it all
(Can`t wait to see the first pictures! You have me preparing to check while I`m in Oz, just to know how it all went!)
What a great letter. I`m sure you are getting excited about Goma-chan`s arrival. As am I (and T, he keeps asking if your bub has arrived yet).
I definitely have no advice on getting bub to come earlier as my own had to have outside intervention to pop out herself.
As for blue eyes, you never know. I was expecting brown eyes on Misora but hers are more of a gray (not quite a blue, more like the sky on rainy day, which definitely means she has the wrong name…..hmmm). Not sure how likely blond hair would be, perhaps a light brown?
So excited to get to meet Goma-chan, even if it is remotely! I can’t believe it’s only a week to go- it seems to have gone so quickly. On the other hand though, it seems forever since your wedding, and you were already pregnant at that point!
Hope the last week or two isn’t too uncomfortable for you- friends who’ve been pregnant tell me the constant pressure on their bladder was terrible, so I hope Goma-chan makes an appearance soon!
This is very sweet!
awww, lovely letter. I especially liked the arriving promptly part
Hannah is blonde with green eyes. I naturally have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, so who knows about Goma chan? I’m sure he will be gorgeous whatever.
That is sweet Lulu, something for DS to cherish when he grows up.
As for blonde hair, you never do know. You’ve seen pics of Dylan and he is not blonde exactly, but very light blonde, with brown eyes. I was sure we’d have a dark haired kid, since I’m the only light haired one in my family and my husband’s hair is jet black, but DS surprised us. DD, on the other hand, seems to be black-haired so far.
What a beautiful sweet letter. What a lovely mum you’re going to be
Hope that Goma-chan comes soon, I can’t wait to “meet” him! xx
