I was having a hard time dealing with the fact that I wasn't going to give birth in Japan. That probably sounds odd to people in the U.S. reading this, but remember that I had Elodie here and had a wonderful experience. It's what I know, it's what I'm used to, and I love my doctor. So I wasn't thrilled about being 10 weeks away from my due date, traveling across the world, and having to find a new doctor in a new city.
My friends surprised me with a baby shower the week before we were leaving for the states. It was so nice to be able to relax, not think about the stresses of moving, and just hang out with my girlfriends and have a good time. I am so lucky to have met some pretty amazing women here. My experience in Japan wouldn't have been the same without them.
