DIY: 気球のモービル Hot-air balloon mobile

ずーっと欲しかった気球のモービル。作り方の乗っているサイトを発見し、早速つくってみました。北欧のデザインも物らしいです。チビもクルクル回るのを見て「うわぁ〜」。喜んでくれた見たく、私も嬉しかったな♥　時間を見つけてベビ２号にも作ろうかな…

 I always wanted to a mobile in home. I think they are awesome as home decorations. Coming across a DIY site for the hot-air balloon mobile, I've decided to make one for Akari. It turned out well and she seemed to be amazed whenever it moves around. Her reaction was very rewarding and I'm hoping that I will have a chance to make another for the Little Dragon sometime...

パンプキン Pumpkin patch

台風が来ているため日曜から雨降りの予定らしく、慌てて近所のパンプキンパッチに手伝いに来てくれている両親と旦那と行って来ました。

Since today is the last day before the hurricane Sandy brings rain, we went to the pumpkin patch with my parents who are visiting.

Baby Shower ベビーシャワー

お友達が嬉しいことに、ベビーシャワーを開いてくれました。とても嬉しかった〜！Georgetown Cupcake（テレビ番組のため、ちまたではかなり有名のカップケーキのお店）のカップケーキまであり、オムツケーキはなんと手作り！（Nちゃん器用！）楽しいく美味しいひと時を過ごしてきました。

チビのことで初回と違って満喫どころじゃない、今回のマタニティーライフ。健診で問題がなく、順調に育っているからこそだけれども、緊張もﾄﾞｷﾄﾞｷもなく、大きなお腹が邪魔で疲れるなぁ〜と思うくらい程度なのが本音。でも、こうやってお祝いしてもらうと、実感が湧いて来るものなんだね…　苦笑

My kind friends throw me a baby shower earlier this week. I was so touched by their kindness. One of them actually made this awesome looking diaper cake, and the cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake were for dessert! ...yum yum...

With the second pregnancy, especially being preoccupied with Akari, I hardly have had time to sort of "enjoy" being pregnant, but thinking that my big tummy is in my way when I have to pick up Akari. In other words, I don't think the reality of being pregnant has sunk in all the way... But this shower made me realize that I'm about to have another baby (duh!) and we are crazy to have another one again (DUH!!)...
