2023/1/12 公開したYouTube。去年年末に迎えた次女の誕生日について話してみました。今年手作りしたケーキの飾りを、手書きイラストで作ったArt Vlogとなっております！さてさて、我が家の歴史の一幕。なかなか面白いんです。

The YouTube video uploaded on Jan 12th, 2022. I talked about my second girl whose birthday is the Christmas. With my family history, you can enjoy the scenes that I illustrated a decoration for my baby's BD cake I baked!

母業初期の私ったら!
What an experience of motherhood!

第一子の長女が歩き始めた頃は、パパの東京の実家近くに住んでいました。まだ初めての子育てに慣れず、頑張って作っても離乳食を食べてくれない長女に悪戦苦闘して、食欲がわかなくなった当時の私は、人生過去一体重が減少！疲れ切ってた。1人目あるあるかと思うけど、手の抜き方も型の外れ方もわからず、子育て本の言う通りやりすぎて、でもその本の言う通りの結果にならず途方に暮れてたんだよね。

When my first girl had started walking, I was living in Tokyo near the house of my husband's parents. I was struggling with my first child who didn't eat baby food I prepared. I didn't feel to eat for myself at all, and lost my weight the most in my whole life. I had burned out. It is common for the first baby parenting, I guess...I followed too much to the parenting books. I was tired of different results against what books said.Ok! Yeah, the first parenting experience with the first baby is tough.

第二子・次女出産の裏話
My sencond girl was on the way!

そんな中だったけど、間を空けずに次女がお腹に入りました。長女は私の大阪の実家で里帰り出産したので、東京では初めての出産でした。さて病院どこにしようと考えてたとき、今は亡きお義父さんが勧めたのがたまたまカトリック系の病院でした。遠くはないし特に断る理由もわからずそのままその病院に行ってみたら、綺麗だし丁寧だしとても良くて。私、中高とカトリック系の一貫校出身なので、むしろ懐かしい感じすらして笑。

The time when my second baby girl was on the way was such moment.It was going to be my first delivery in Tokyo, since I delivered my first baby in Osaka where my own parents lived. So, I needed to search for a hospital from the start.My father-in-law recommended a hospital, and it happened to be the Catholic.It wasn't too far from my house, and there were nothing to refuse, so I visited there anyway.The hospital was clean and everyone I met was nice.I even felt so nostalgic because my junior and high school were the Catholic!

そして無事？出産！
And finally the delivery!

途中、切迫早産になりかけて絶対安静になってしまい。なかなか大変な妊娠後期になってしまったのだけど、出産自体はスムーズで元気に生まれてきてくれました。ほんとはお正月過ぎてからの予定日で、10日以上前だったのに、定期検診行ったらすでに子宮口3センチ開いてると言われびっくりして。それから毎日いつ陣痛くるかとソワソワして過ごしたのでした。いよいよ陣痛らしきものが来て、25日に日にちがまたいだ早朝に入院。そこから数時間で朝6時ごろ生まれました。その病院のクリスマス第一号ベイビーですぅ～言われて何だか得した気分に笑。なんか私、何かとキリスト様に縁があるなーなんて思ったのでした。

About 10th month, I was told from my doctor about the possibility of threatened premature delivery. So, the last few months of my pregnancy were not easy.But, the delivery itself was smooth and my second baby girl was born healthy! The due day of her delivery was after the new year day and more than 10 days away...But the mouth of the uterus had already opened few centimeters at regular check ups.Gosh, I was shocked! I got nervous afterward... contraction had come sooner! And, contraction had finally come after the midnight...the day was 25th. And then, she was born around 6 a.m. "Your baby is the first Christmas baby in this hospital!" said the nurse. I felt like receiving extra gift! I am linked by fate with Christ through my life. My another thought.

ここでひとネタ！
The little Funny Happening!

その日、平日の金曜日だったんだけど、カトリック系だったためクリスマスの12/25日は休日扱い。そんなコト梅雨知らず退院時の支払い金額見て夫婦で固まった話はなかなか生々しい話苦笑。それでなくてもお高い方の病院だったみたいで（←調べてへんかったんかい！）、プラス休日入院料金加算で、それはまぁなかなかなもんでした笑。

That delivery day was normal Friday, but it was a holiday for the Catholic hospital. Which means, extra payment for holiday hospitalization...We freaked out looking at the bill! That was another "EXTRA" side story Ha! Ha! The hospital was more expensive than average from the first place! And extra holiday charge! Well, yeah, you know...speechless. Ha! Ha!

そんな我が家の第二子の次女。2022年の13歳の誕生日に手作りケーキ頑張ってみたのでした。ケーキの飾りどうしようかなーと考えてたんだけど、絵描きの楽しい思いつきに行き当たり、それでなくてもいつもよりやるコト多いのに、飾りのイラスト描いちゃったりしたりして♡

そんな絵描きの日常のVlogに、お付き合いありがとうございましたー！またねー！

Those are my memories when my second girl joined to the family! In her 13th birthday 2022, I tried my best baking her BD cake! Such vlog about me, an artist illustrating a flag for BD cake!

Thank you for stopping by and reading until the end!
