I want to update this blog with big experiences while I'm going through biiig changes in my life. I'm currently 4 and a half months pregnant, and I've decided to stay in Japan to have my child. Things have already proved a little difficult, and a lot hasn't really been going my way. If I can jot down my concerns here, I figured I can sort my thoughts and feelings logically.
Let's just say it can't hurt to start a blog about all this, right?!
I'm currently struggling with a bad back. I did some heavy lifting at work (carrying children, hugging children...) and I quickly learned my limits. I work at a school with young children, and I am used to running around after them and carrying them. It seems that I can't do that anymore without putting myself through pain. Well, I should have known that would happen. Still, it's a little sad.
Next week is the new school year in Japan. I have a different schedule at work. No more little kiddy lessons for Beth! :( Things are really starting to change: I'm getting bigger (quickly), my schedule is different, my emotions are crazy, and this pregnancy is becoming more and more real.
I don't see my friends as often as I used to, and I'm worried about being lonely when I give birth. I want to find a group of other mothers in my area, but I haven't heard of any support groups etc. I want to connect with foreign mums too, but I don't know if they're out there....
It's like a big void out there! I hope I can find someone soon.
