148 days old - follow up appointment

Blood test at follow up check up 
First follow up appointment since they left GCU. Used Masami jiji and Kazuko baba to get ready in the morning, bathing, dressing up, feeding, and put them on the stroller and walked to hospital. It was lucky the weather was nice and warm. 
Morning was regular check up and see how they grew so far. Naoya's weight was 6530g, 59.5cm tall, head size 40.7cm, and chest 43.4cm. Masaki's 6425g, 59cm tall, 41.9cm around head, 43.7cm around chest. They both had 5 shots: Hib, Streptoccoccus pneumoniae, Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus-Polio, Hepatitis B, and Synagis. Masaki had another appointment at pediatric surgery in the afternoon.
His hernia is still there, and we need to come back in 2 months for follow up, and possible surgery around when they're 6 months old, finishes the most of vaccination. We could finish earlier than thought, and we stopped by NICU/GCU to say hi. We could get back to home before weather got cold. Oh it was a busy day!

Cherry blossom sighting at Aoyama Cemetery

Walking around Aoyama Cemetery. It's surreal that cherry blossoms are falling and covering graveyards, and its beauty, ephemeral,  tranquility, everything I don't have enough words to express.

It made me happy to see a couple of flower petals on the loaf of bread I bought before the walk.   青山墓地で花見。 散りゆく桜の花びらが古いお墓に降り積もるのはなんともシュール で、美しさ、儚さと、静かさと、何とも言えず、非日常的。 そんな中、足元には白いタンポポ。東日本では珍しい。 家に帰って見たら、 お散歩前に買ったパンに花びらが付いていたのが何だか嬉しい。 Ships at a graveyard Old Christianity graveyard 白いタンポポ White dandelion Cherry blossom tunnel Cherry blossom petals on a graveyard Flower petals on a loaf of bread Videos of cherry blossom falling , cherry blossom falling like snow , and the last one .

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...
