Halloween Day!

My family survived our 3rd night together. This time I am gradually making the nights more difficult for my parents. I don't know exactly why. At 1:00 am I kept crying and crying, although I wasn't wet or hungry. My Daddy kept comforting me until I stopped, but I kept starting up again. At 4:00 am I woke up again, and drank 70 ml in a feeding. That was a lot, and lasted me all the way until the morning, when I had another feeding at 8:00 am, then went down to the nursery for my daily bath.

Today was the last day for my Daddy to be with us in the hospital, because he had to return to Tokyo tonight. We had lots of visitors today, so it was pretty exciting! Somehow I slept through most of it, and even when it was quite noisy in the room, I still slept soundly!

It was also Halloween today too! We didn't do anything special, unfortunately. But you will see in a few pictures below, that Mommy let me pose with a Pooh stuffed animal dressed in a Mickey Mouse costume. I guess that's the best we could do for our first Halloween together, given our busy schedule this week.

This morning Mommy and Daddy were so tired due to a long night, that Daddy decided to take a nap with me in the morning.

Then while Daddy and I were sleeping together, Daddy actually woke up briefly to take some pictures of me while I was sleeping. He did this while he was still lying beside me!

A little before noon, as Daddy was out at the ISDN phone booth doing his daily website upload, my Mommy's sister and her family came to visit us (along with Grandma again)!

Here is the Kimura family along with Grandma and Mommy - Kazuhi is the father, Yoshiko is the mother, Mommy's eldest sister, and Yu-kun, their son.

Kazuhi and Yoshiko are both doctors, as are Mommy's brother and father! Yu-kun is my cousin, who is 2 years old now. He was actually born in this same hospital in October of 1997, when this newer building of the Iguchi Clinic was built, and Yoshiko actually stayed in this exact same room as Mommy!

Later in the afternoon, Iguichi-sensei (the founder of this hospital / clinic and good friend of my Grandfather), came by with his wife to visit.

Mommy and Daddy and Grandma (and I) thanked them very much for their great help with Mommy this week in delivering me!

Later in the afternoon, Watanabe-san dropped by to visit us!

Watanabe-san is my Grandfather's secretary at his hospital, so she is a very close person to Mommy's family.

She brought by some Matsutake-rice for Mommy and Daddy to eat. Mommy and Daddy said it was really delicious, so it was a rare treat.

At the end of the day, Mommy and Daddy made some time to take a family portrait of the 3 of us in the room.

After this, Daddy had to catch a taxi to the train station to go back to Tokyo for the week.

I miss Daddy already, but I have Mommy to keep me company until Daddy returns on Friday night.
