So I had a busy day yesterday.

I went to Shizuoka and had my visa transferred into my new passport - no problems and no money. I also talked to the guy about the baby's visa. UGH! This is a tad more than I had anticipated. There are two papers to do but a lot of papers to add - Li's ID and mine. But the catch is that it must be done within 30 days after birth. This will put a bit a pressure on us to get all the Canadian citizen paper work and Canadian passport paperwork done quickly. UGH!
Anyway it is doable.
I also asked the guy about Li's visa. I wanted to know if it would be possible to extend Li's dependent visa 90 days without having to apply for a whole new visa, just in case Canada is a little slower then we had planned. I told the guy the truth and that we are planning to move to Canada in the near future. He said that it Probably Shouldn*t be a problem as it is an extension in preparation to leave the country. That took a HUGE load off my mind.
I then got a Starbucks Chai Latte. Mmmmmmm...

Then it was off to home quickly as I had to pay Li's medical insurance which can only be paid at the banks which are NEVER open, and I had to eat some lunch.

Then to the hospital. Got my flu shot and went to the baby class. Didn't understand everything but could piece together what I could with a bit of ER and common sense. I did learn how to massage my nipples. Might have to teach it to Li. Even did the silly aerobics class after. Hehehe. I am aerobic useless. I feel like an uncoordinated duck even though I am actually very coordinated. Though I was very proud as I was wearing a big sweater and I didn't feel hot and exhausted, nor was I breathing hard. The other girls, well...... eeekkk.
After watching the birthing video I have decided that the walking and the bike riding I am doing is great but a tad more might be require. I need to start working on my step machine thing a bit more. I am not worried about the weight loss after, I am more worried about pushing a basketball sized head out!! MUSCLES might be required and I aint got a lot. Hmmm

Then it was back to home and trying to find something for idle hands to do. I ended up finishing the cleaning in the one closet and bought two more photo albums to put all of this years pictures in order. I have sooooo many photo albums to take home, but they are all beautifully arranged and I enjoy them.

I ended up going to bed before Li got home as I started reading that book I was talking about earlier. Getting interesting now. Hmm.

Now the other day I was bitching about Li not talking and him complaining about me talking to much. Well last night was a reversal and he would not BLOODY SHUT UP!!! EVEN IN BED!!
He was talking, talking, talking!!! Thought I do admit he had a lot on his mind. He was grilling me about what the immigration man really said about everything so that he understood perfectly. Bu he also got a phone call from his mother. Her Japanese visitors visa is starting to drive us crazy!!! We sent all the paperwork indicated on the damn form they gave her to give us. Mailed it off no problems. Well every time she goes to the Japanese embassy they tell her to get MORE paper work. Now they want even more of Lis papers and some more of me!! This is getting bloody ridiculous!! She is only coming for a out two and a half months. She has a ton of Japanese cash on her and she has a very good long time job in Shanghai that she is definitely going to return to. She is not going to run and hide in this damn country!!!!!! Grrr..
That was really the only low point of the day.
