Naomi Mae was born today (12 January, 2010) at 11:45am. She's about 5 weeks early, so she's staying in the hospital nursery. Naomi and L'Shawn are both doing very well.
L'Shawn recently developed pregnancy induced hypertension (preeclampsia), so her doctor decided to deliver Naomi early via a c-section to preempt any complications. We expect L'Shawn to be able to come home in about a week, and Naomi should be ready to come home in 2 or 3 weeks.
It's been a very long and stressful day, and now that L'Shawn and Naomi are recovering I'm going to try to get some sleep. I will post again soon. -> Doug

It's been a while - again!
Hello!
I keep thinking that someday someone will actually look at our blog, so once in a while I actually get around to posting pictures... So here they are! Tons of new pictures for your enjoyment.

Hello again!
I posted a bunch of pix again, so check them out if you're bored!
In other news, we've been doing a lot of stuff with Mary Kay (our new neighbor and L'Shawn's collegue). She's still a newbie here, so we're trying to help her get oriented, and it's also really fun seeing Kobe anew through her eyes. We went for "hanami" (cherry blossom viewing) a couple of times - once with Doug's Japanese teacher and some other teachers and students, and again with some friends. L'Shawn and Mary Kay also did hanami with some Kobe Kaisei teachers. L'Shawn's having a blast back at school, though the first couple of weeks have been a bit stressful.
After many exciting adventures in the hospitals of Osaka and Kobe, Doug has completely stopped snoring, and is feeling a lot better than he has in ages! As an added bonus, he now has his very own Darth Vader mask so he looks SO COOL whenever he's sleeping!
Wow - it's usually a lot longer between posts, so it seems weird, but that's about it!
We'll write again soon. (This was so much easier!) Jaa ne! -> Doug and L'Shawn (^^)v
