Our nephews Yosuke and Yusuke are visiting from Japan, along with my sister-in-law. We're having lots of fun together. Chiyo's almost 8 weeks old!
I'm really enjoying being a mother; it's better than I was expecting! Thankfully, Chiyo's started sleeping through the night, and it certainly makes a big difference in my outlook! We had a great visit with my in-laws, and have since hosted our friend Yonezawa-san, who will be coming back to stay with us again in two weeks once he's toured Peru. On Saturday, we are expecting my sister-in-law, Yuka, and her two boys, Yosuke and Yusuke. They are 9 and 11, and very, very fun! I can't wait until they arrive. It's great to have a house where people can come and stay - somewhere other than our sofa!
Since Chiyo's almost 7 weeks old and my body has mostly recovered from labour, I'm going to start Pilates. I'm also hoping to join some other activity so that I don't die of loneliness since I still don't know many people in our new city. I'm sure that will come, but it takes more effort to make friends once you've had a baby, and I've got major issues with getting out of the house before Chiyo pukes/needs to be changed/is hungry again. :-). It's also getting colder and winter is clearly on the way.
