Snow!

It snowed in kagoshima yesterday, which is a really rare occurence! I woke up this morning and the city was blanketed in snow- it was really cool! I was dying to build a snowman with the snow that had gathered on our stairwell but I figured that as I don`t have waterproof gloves it might not be so much fun after the first few minutes!!! ;-) We had an appointment for a 4D ultrasound today to see how the baby is doing (it is optional but cheap so we decided to go for it!!) and I have put the pictures in the photo gallery. The baby didn`t seem too keen on moving very much and my placenta kept getting in the way of a clear shot but we still got some cool pictures!! More than anything though it was an incredible experience to see everything so close. It is definitely definitely a boy!! Daisuke laughed at me when I declared that he has my eyes and Daisuke`s nose!! LOL! It really hit me today that in about 11 weeks time I am going to be a Mum for the rest of my life. For the first time, it wasn`t a scary realisation, I realised instead that I have never ever been so excited about anything in my whole life!!! :-) I am still terrified that something will go wrong with the pregnancy or birth but more than anything I can`t wait to hold my baby in my arms! ;-)
