I know it's been awhile since we've updated so I'm going to try and do it now.
I guess I'll start with the pregnancy since that is part of why we've neglected the blog. I am now 22 weeks pregnant and am still due August 20th, 2012. The baby is perfectly healthy, and seems to have a lot of energy. We've been able to feel him/her move since about week 14/16, now he/she moves almost nonstop. I had horrible morning sickness up until week 18 though, and it greatly hindered our activity level. We weren't able to go anywhere unless it was absolutely necessary. It sucked, to say the least. But now I'm feeling better, even though I still get sick occasionally, and we're able to get out more.
A few weeks ago we came across a park near the Tama River, and we go there frequently for walks and to visit with the cats that hang out there. We noticed a lot of shelters along the river and have learned that these shelters belong to homeless people. Some of them are pretty decent and are semi permanent. The homeless people seem to take care of the cats, building them little shelters to get out of the rain. They also bring them food, and give them attention. Most of the cats have shiny coats and are extremely friendly. The first cat we met was Mr. Skin (our name for him) he has a strange coat. His undercoat is a greyish/white, and then fades to black, so it kind of looks like he's balding, but he most definitely is not. That day we saw a total of about 10 cats. We picked up some soft food and regular food for the cats, and bring some with us every time we go out there.
One of the things we really enjoy doing here is just driving and getting to know the area in which we live. Since you don't have to travel very far to see something you haven't seen yet, it's usually a cheap form of entertainment. A few Sunday's ago we were driving and noticed on our gps map that we were close to a rather large lake. Turns out, it's Sayamako lake. There are a few shrines within the area, and a walkway along the lake. It was just nice to be near a large body of water again.
