Welcome to Motherhood

Welcome To Motherhood

This was written when I was still pregnant with John and I wanted to share it here. As a first-time mom, it is a nice thing to share moments like this.



Bible verse: Ecclesiastes 10:5 “As you do not know what the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.”
Psalm 16:5-6 “O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.”

When I knew that I was pregnant I was filled with joy. I can only think of how the Lord has blessed me with a child and to be a part of His wondrous miracles. My husband was also joyful knowing that we will have a baby. I know God purposely made it happen and I am ready. There were moments when I think on how to raise a child and the fears that I go through during my pregnancy made me realize that God is in control about the things that I and my husband are not.
When we saw our baby’s ultrasound for the first time, we were both happy and hearing our baby’s heartbeat made us even happier because our baby is active and kicking inside my womb. 
My husband didn’t know about this, long before I met him I prayed to have a boy when I get married.  Whatever happened I know that God’s grace and steadfast love will be upon my son and that his father will be glad to have him. God has answered my prayer for giving me a son and I am forever grateful.
 I didn’t grow up with my biological father or experience having a family since I grew up with my grandparents but one thing I am sure of---- God's faithfulness.
Truly God is in control over what we cannot handle and know that He is faithful, we can trust Him in every detail of our lives if we submit to Him. There are things I could not share here but we are more excited to see our first baby. Praise God for His wonderful creation!!! J J J
Whenever my husband Kaoru touch my tummy John would kick and give him a punch. I guess he recognized his daddy. It is so fascinating  when you feel that movement inside of you and whenever my husband touches my tummy and say “baby..baby..” I find it lovely. I know pregnancy has change me a lot and of course my body. My husband is trying to reaffirm me every day that I’m always attractive and beautiful to make me feel good. I felt a bit insecure whenever I look at myself in the mirror and feel ugly at times because of the allergies which look like acne, it leaves dark spots on my forehead. However, I feel so blessed and thankful for this journey. It’s normal to go through all this and to experience a different pace in life, another reason to celebrate life as it is. Soon we will get to see John, very soon. I have some fears of how to take care of him if he’s going to be fine and etc etc. But I know the nurses will assist me on how to take care of my baby and will help me. I just have to trust the Lord and rely on the doctors and nurses and of course my husband Kaoru. No more what if’s and negative thinking. And to my baby John, he knows exactly what to do on our big day and he is smart. We are all excited to see him as the days are getting closer. Next week he will come out from mommy’s tummy. My husband and I have prepared for his coming and his all-out support are very much appreciated! Everything is ready and we're hoping he will come down soon and it won’t be very difficult for mommy. No words can describe how excited we are. Many are anticipating for this as well. So God bless us both and our little family. J J J

Kawazu Bagatelle Park or the Jardin de Bagatelle

"Jardin de Bagatelle" Last Summer in Japan the weather was really hot, it's humid and stifling but the feeling of having my parents with us is so much more heart igniting. Wandering around in one of the best flower gardens I have ever visited so far last year, the Kawazu Bagatelle Park or "Jardin de Bagatelle", it is known to be the sister park of Jardin de Bagatelle of Paris, France, it was established on the 28th of April 2001.  This symmetric  French-style rose garden was calculated thoroughly which makes it more look fancy, 18th century inspired. Looking back to my wanderlust experience. Buds begin to flower adding the splash of color, the cheeping sparrows invade the garden looking for juicy grubs and shiny seeds as the light leaks. The butterflies are like having a party. I can see them all around.The smell of the roses is like sweet scents that register to someone who smells it and luckily I'm one of them. To me it's like an enchant...

Vibrant Tulips under the Cherry Blossoms

Hamamatsu Flower Garden One of the most breathtaking gardens I have visited in Spring this year is the Hamamatsu Flower Garden. We arrived exactly lunch time so we had to eat something before starting our tour and of course, I wouldn't let my son skip lunch, although he is breastfed. The foods are very delicious and affordable at their café and their matcha vanilla ice cream is the best. They also have a souvenir shop where you can buy something you might like to bring home. As we were about to explore the garden suddenly it rained and we aren't even prepared for an umbrella, but watching the cherry blossoms falling with the rain is more entertaining, it's like what I saw in movies for real. My son also enjoyed the rain he's running around or even dancing, while my husband enjoyed watching us. The garden actually provides umbrella if you don't have one so you can just go back to the information area and grab one. The rain only lasted 15 minutes and then the sun ...

Summer view of Mount Fuji in La Hall

Summer in Mount Fuji This photo was taken last year's summer season in La Hall Fuji. I was on the fifth floor when I get the chance to capture this photo. It was Sunday and a good season to feel warm not only by the weather but also by the Word of God. Feeling refreshed and blessed by the Pastor's sermon. I call this picture vanilla coated Fuji.
