Due Date

Today is the official due date...but we know it's just a suggestion of when she might show up. Tis very strange that our lives will change so much ANY time now...

It's a nice occasion, however, to take note of these 2 items. The first is a picture of 2 daruma that Dav and I have had since last Burning Man. I brought these from Japan; you fill in one eye to make a wish, and when the wish comes true, you fill in the other. Last year at a particular snuggly moment with Dav, I brought them out and proposed we each make a wish. After we each filled out an eye, we shared our wish. Mine was to get pregnant. His was to have a baby safely born. I practically burst into tears at how in sync our wishes were. My daruma's 2nd eye is already filled in as I did get pregnant (duh). I'm looking forward to Dav completing his daruma dude.

The other picture is of an anzan (安産) lucky charm for safe delivery that Ian and Izumi gave me at my birthday. At the time, it seemed far away, but I like saying "hi" to it everyday now.

I predict that her birthday will be July 7, 8, or 9.

7-7 would be a cool birthday!

But since the year is 06, July 6th (7-6-06) would be cool, too.

Thanks for the wishes, Gen. You will meet her soon in September, hopefully!

Eva, I like 7/7 too. That sounds perfectly lucky! On the other hand, I wouldn't mind her presenting herself any day now...

Gargle will be just fine. I have no doubts.
