Home :-)

Mariko and I have now been home just over a week. It's amazing to be back although until our stuff gets here I think I'll still feel like I'm visiting. Our stuff will be here Tuesday! The one day that Toshi will be here and not working which is fantastic. I'm so excited about it!

It's been a big, busy week even though it's kind of a normal week. Trying to get settled has been an adventure. It's been interesting being in a big house with stairs! Up and down and up and down all day long! Mariko's room is fantastic and I can't wait to get her furniture in there so that the room feels complete. We have her sleeping on a floor bed. We had her on a crib mattress, surrounded so she couldn't fal off. Now she's on a porta crib mattress because it's thinner and therefore closer to the ground. We don't have it enclosed on all sides and this morning at 4am I found her on the floor! I think she must have slid off and rolled in the process. This evening she rolled back to front on her own for the first time! So maybe she did roll off? We'll see how tonight goes with the staying on the mattress. The close to the ground is good but the mattress is so tiny I think that's why she fell off. In that regard the bigger one might be better.

Tomorrow morning we are taking Mariko to the doctor. She has a bump on the back of her head that's gotten bigger and I want to know what it is. Hopefully everything is fine and tomorrow we'll know for sure! The insurance issue might be interesting though since we are still on our NY insurance....

I should get myself to bed - I'll try and write more later.

Tomorrow Toshi comes home!!
