Hi there friends!

The biggest news is that the baby will be coming tomorrow! How exciting! The time really flies by between the time we found out about it and the time that he arrives. It has been really hard to concentrate on my work during these past two days. An impending delivery is a really big thing to be preoccupied with.

I hope to be able to post a picture of the baby on this very weblog tomorrow evening or on Thursday. It depends on when I am around my computer next.

I suppose that all I have left to do is prepare. I need to get a few things ready to keep myself busy while I am at the hospital. I think that I will do some crosswords and continue reading the fourth Harry Potter book.

Kazuko has been doing a lot of cleaning, but I will try to do my best to keep our house welcoming while our respective parents stay at our house. I really enjoy having guests. It gives me a chance to use the bedrooms upstairs!

Besides all of that, I don't know what I am going to do tonight. Probably relax, watch Crank Yankers, watch sumo, eat dinner, stuff like that...

Kazuko and I bought six new CDs using our Best Buy Rewards coupons. I am looking forward to listening to the new "Blue Man Group," "Tom Jones," and "Joni Mitchell" CDs that we bought. (The other three were instrumental relaxation CDs for Kazuko to enjoy while she's staying in the hospital.)

Have a happy day. Thanks for reading!

We'll see you tomorrow. Dad has to work until 10:30. I can HARDLY WAIT!!!!! Everyone is looking forward to getting pictures. Dad is bringing the digital camera. He'll help you with the switch either tomorrow or on Friday night before Kazuko's parents get there. I love reading your entries! Love Always! mom

I didn't have a planned c-section but was induced. I remember the excitement and relief at the thought that the baby would finally be there. I look forward to seeing the pictures. Newborns are so funny. They are all so precious but most of them still look like little old people Nice, plump newborns are the cutest. I'm sure yours will be the cutest newborn ever (at least in your eyes and that's the way it should be).

Hi, Jamie !! This is Kaoru. How's everything ?! Has your baby, Kentaro(Nice name ! Is it coming from `Kentaro & Sae-chan' ?? ) arrived yet ?! I can't wait to see his pictures ! It's fun just to imagine that he is mini-Jamie. You will be a good father and have fun to raise Kentaro with Kazuko.

Is Kazuko OK ? I'm so excited about this big event, but just a little anxious about Kazuko until I hear everything was all right because I hear delivery is really tough ! Please let me know how they are.

By the way, were you OK during delivery ? I mean... some Japanese men can't put up with seeing their wives' suffering pains of childbirth and escape from a delivery room like my brother-in-low. (It may sound strange but because natural delivery is common in Japan.)

Please take care of Kazuko, especially just after leaving hospital. Many guests might tire her.
Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing Kentaro's photos !

Bye for now.
