Sorry-ology

Earlier this year, a colleague friend passed away unexpectedly. I was still in an email exchange with him before his death,  but I was in the dark of  his passing until an office email reached me and an newspaper obituary was found more than a month later. A heart-shaken news that rendered me speechless in shock.

ぞうくんのさんぽ The Promenade of an Elephant Animals Let's Go to See the World

We started reading with T a couple of weeks ago, and last week, he got his own library card in a local library. How blessed he is to have his own pass to a trove of fun and knowledge since so little! I found the search for suitable books for 0-year-old baby quite interesting, as there are so many factors to consider since they literally cannot 'read' at all. Therefore, I thought it might be interesting to keep a log of the reading he does with us from now on.

I had thought that the previous entry in this category will be the last one, but the little boy inside me has insisted on staying on for a little while. The baby has been overdue for 2 days now, but he is still active and seems just reluctant to see the world outside. Or, does he know that we haven't named him yet, or that we haven't built his cot so that he has assumed that he still has some more time to sleep in? Yesterday, we went to the gynaecologist for the first thing in the morning. The progress was still slow, almost invisible despite all the efforts I have put into workout. And another shocking (?) news is that the boy is either much weightier or bigger than average, a fact that certainly limits the choices of birth plan. There is no use of panicking, I understand, although I went a bit emotional on the due date as everybody was asking. I think I am more on the sober side on which what worries me is the following schedule of new life and new semester and some med...

Unbelievably I have already entered the last week of the 10-month stretch of pregnancy. In another 7 days, both the baby and I will reach at the supposed due date, although my doctor said that my body hadn't given any biological sigh of labor yet, and some more exercises from now on will be desperately needed. 

I have heard a lot about how pregnant women would suffer from digestion problems, such as constipation. It is really something that I am worried most before I even thought of getting a child. Since little, the issue of digestion has troubled me all the way up to now due to, probably, my tense nerves and inability to relax.
