Six months

There is a warm feeling in the house. The baby is getting bigger and has started kicking. Every time it starts to kick, my wife calls me and has me feel her belly. But every time I press on her abdomen, the baby swims aways! I was hoping we would know whether the baby is a boy or girl this month, but these little things are not clear yet. Earlier this month we went to a local shire which is known for a ceremony for a safe and healthy birth. The ceremony is performed on "Inu-no-hi", which means "dog day". The dog being the symbol of fertility and safe birth. Afterwards me my wife and her parents ate "Sukiyaki" which is the symbol of us being hungry! These days my wife struts around the house proudly displaying her ever growing midriff and complains of backache. She has never looked happier.
