The weather here in Tokyo is getting pretty cold. And it was raining almost the whole day today. The weather forecast mentions that Winter season will officially begin starting next week. My dear baby is kicking more vigorously recently and I'm going to be 8 mths pregnant tomorrow (according to Japanese calculation). It's funny that we always believe that we're normally pregnant for 9 months, but in Japan, the calculation is made based on 10 mths basis. So, they divided 40 weeks by 4, and when you're 5 weeks pregnant, you're considered as 2 months pregnant and so on. I was pretty confused myself in the beginning. But now, I just need to declare my pregnancy based on Japanese system so that when I made any maternity shopping, I need to make sure I have the right months to get the right products. Well, the tummy is growing at tremendous rate. And I started to have backache. Just have to keep my posture right when I walk or sit. Every night, I think I have crams as well. I fell out of my bed once when I realize that I couldn't stand still due to the cram while trying to go to the toilet. Fortunately, there are many cushions falling off the bed at that time and I have some protection. Just have my hair cut tomorrow. I cut off around 20cm length of hair. The stylist kept asking me if it's fine to cut that much. It took me around 2 years to grow my hair. But I assured him that it's fine, cause I think my hair normally grows pretty quickly. Well, I'll post you my new look with the new hair style soon. :)Next Wednesday (Nov. 15, 2006), I will be having my next doctor's appointment. I'm going to ask for my doctor's permission for travelling back to Indonesia. Yes, I have finally decided to give birth in Indonesia instead. It's going to be really cold here in Tokyo in February, and after discussing with my hubby, we think it's best for me and the baby to deliver the baby in Indonesia since I'm not really comfortable with cold weather. Ok, will continue to keep you posted for the next progress of the baby.
