Expecting!?

I think I am pregnant. I haven’t made sure to use a home pregnancy test or to go to OBGYN yet. But I know I am pregnant. If the babycenter.com’s calculation is right (by the way, the babycenter.com is great resource. They send me a weekly update of baby and toddler’s information), I am ten weeks pregnant. My due is October 3rd.

I am planning to have the second one at a Chinese hospital in Suzhou. Yet I am a little bit afraid. I am not nervous about labor. It is just an idea of going to a Chinese hospital seems already very hassle, although I am going to see an English speaking doctor with VIP treatment. Anyway, I have to go see a doctor soon.

If you had a baby in Suzhou and happened to read my blog, give me some advice!

Spring!

In Tokyo, spring comes very slowly, three days of winter cold and four other days of spring warm in a week for a month. There is always suspicion whether spring finally come or not and that becomes the main small talk March though April.

In Suzhou, spring comes like snapping fingers. Last Wednesday I noticed we spend 100 US dollars for electricity in February to keep our room barely warm. Thursday I was still turning on heater at night. Friday it was beautiful. Weekend spring came. Everybody out the park enjoyed spring. Akiva and I enjoyed watching the kites at the park. There were so many kites in the sky, but Chinese people found the space to pull up a new kite.
