Is Japan ready for Simon and mini-Simon(Simonette)?
Yea but its great news, although i dread to think how much baby clothes in Japan cost. If its a girl a mini Louis Vutton bag will of course be standard.

Congratulations I’ve never had a baby, but considering how I am with everything else, having to wait 9 months would make me very impatient!! We need to find a way to shorten the gestation period…..microwave version, hahaha.

simon,
congrads on your new addition- i have enjoyed reading your blogs- what are your plans for japan since you have a new kid? are you going to continue teaching there? do you like teaching kids in japan? are you going to open an english school there?- just curious as I used to teach in Japan and have mixed feelings but thinking I might return if I could handle teaching

In answer to the last comment, Reiko (all being well having the baby in Japan which means I have to keep on working here. With my level of Japanese (awful) and my rapidly declining level of French and German, I will be continuing to teach English. I have no plans to open an English school.
