Big Day Approaching

You are here: Home / Blog / Big Day Approaching

There are now less than 2 months before my wife and I’s baby is due to be born. Wow! It looks like it’ll be a girl.  We are very happy! We’ve decided to call her Tina, which will sound the same in Japanese. With this great thing comes great responsibility, as I’ll have to support my family. You can be sure that I’ll be working hard and making sure that my English coversation school (英会話スクール) in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi (スミス英会話 塚口校) is rock solid.

My wife is getting pretty big and has to sit down and rest often when we go out. The other day she worked her last day at her job. Now we have to prepare for the big day! We need a crib, baby clothes, a baby bath, etc. My wife is now going to a private clinic in Amagasaki where she will be giving birth to our child and staying for 5 days after giving birth. On Sunday we took a short course at the clinic which will allow me to be in the room with my wife when our baby is born. I am happy that I can be there by her side to support her and see the birth of our child. It’s a very special moment that I don’t want to miss! (^.^)
