We weren't scheduled for a trip to the Doctor this week, but the 5 bags of lime green bile purged from K's tummy forced us to go early. Luckily, Kotomi is feeling a bit better now (I think it was that curry I demanded we eat), and all of the important tests done at the end of the first trimester show we are in good shape for the challenges ahead. Baby P is a GIGANTIC 67 millimeters and growing rapidly, Mom is sick of being sick, and Dad is just trying to keep the apartment tidy.
On a different topic, Kotomi and I are faced with the decision of Kotomi's immigration next year. The ridiculously LARGE (100+ pages) application form is rife with hoops and hurdles of the severest inconvenience, even for those living in Tokyo. I don't know how I will get everything done living in Aomori.
OR, we could leave everything to a respected Canadian lawyer and his firm in Vancouver. All they would need from us is the various information and official papers (which would be translated from Japanese into the required English BY THEM). They can get cracking right away and are fairly confident that they can have everything done in time for an AUGUST homecoming.
But... There is the price tag, and a hefty one at that. I won't say how much, but let's just say that the 45 inch Plasma TV purchase will have to wait.
So here it is, a large weight off our shoulders at a large price. At least if we do it this way, we can be fairly confident there won't be any extra charges. If I do it myself, who knows how many times I'll need to buy a round-trip ticket to Tokyo for the honor of one official's signature at the Canadian Embassy.
Advice, anyone?
Scott, Kotomi and Baby

You can watch TV at my place until you pay off the lawyers in 2046. It's all good. Anything for a friend.
