Hello everyone!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How are you doing today?
さて、今日は嬉しいニュースをシェアさせてください。
Okay today, let me share very happy news about my family!
3月9日、Hit-chanの妹➀のスイッチ夫婦に第一子の男の子が無事生まれました！
On March 9th 2023, the older one of my little twin sisters, Switch, and her husband just welcomed their first child, baby boy!
初産でしたが、予定日より6日早い誕生でした。
It's her very first pregnancy which I hear it tends to be later than the due date, but he's born 6 days earlier than his due date.
スイッチベイビーが生まれのは午後3時29分だったんですが、面白い事にその日の朝、Hit-chan、ふいに「もうすぐ予定日やけど、スイッチどうしてるやろ？」とLINEでメッセージを送ったんです。
The baby boy was born at 3:29pm on the 9th, but what's very interesting to me that I got this question crossed my mind out of the blue in the morning, "Switch's due date is coming so soon. How's she doing?" and texted it to her.
そうしたら、「今、まさに前駆陣痛ぽいものに襲われておる。」という返事。しかも前日におしるしっぽいモノが来たとの事。
Then, she responded, "I'm having something like practice contractions right now. " Also, she mentioned that she got a show (bloody discharge) in the day before.
この時点では、「まぁそんなにお腹いたくないから。」と言っていたんですが、まさにこの時陣痛が始まっていたようで、一旦LINEのやりとりが終わって、4時間半後に連絡がきて、「入院して麻酔入れたよ！」との事。
At the point, she was saying, "Still, the pain isn't that bad yet." but it was actually starting real contractions at the time. In 4.5 hours after we're done with the conversation, she got me text saying, "I just got checked in the hospital and they gave me Epidural!"
スイッチ、初産やったから出産までの時間の感覚が分からんかったらしく、この時点でも本陣痛かどうかも曖昧だったので、妹➁のスカッチに「もう本陣痛？」と聞かれても「分からん。」って答えてました。(笑)
Again, it's her very first labor, so she didn't have any idea about the actual time schedule until she could really push the baby out and still wasn't sure if she was having real contractions at the point yet. So, when my other sister, Skutch, asked her, "Are you having real contractions now?, she answered, "I have no idea." LOL
Hit-chanは経験上、「麻酔入れた！」と聞いて「あ、もう生まれるやん！」と分かったんですが、すぐ後に来た「子宮口5㎝開いてるって。」という言葉でもうすぐ生まれる事を確信。
From my experience, I was pretty sure that she was very close to push the baby out when I heard her saying, "They gave me Epidural!" Besides that report, she texted me, "They say my cervix is 5cm open now." which made me confident that the moment was really almost there.
無痛分娩のお陰で産み落とす本人がLINEで連絡してくれるので、自分が痛みでのた打ち回っていたのに比べると、「めっちゃ余裕やん！」とちょっと笑ってしまいました。
Thanks to Epidural, Switch could keep us uprated about her own labor by texting, so it's kind of funny to me to think about the big gap between her kind of relaxing labor and mine which kept me to writhe in pain.
そしてそんなやり取りの4時間後、上の写真が送られてきました。
In another 4 hours after the last conversation with her, she sent me a picture of the beautiful baby boy that I shared above.
何でしょうねぇ。Hit-chan、遠いミネソタでスイッチの身に何か起きているっていうのを感じたお陰でベストなタイミングでの出産状況を知る事ができました。
It's really weird and spiritual that I kind of got a hunch from MN that something was going on my loving sister in Japan on such a perfect timing. Thanks to my hunch, I could follow up the precious moments live.
希望通りの無痛分娩が出来たのはやっぱり良かったようで、スイッチ、「やっぱ、無痛ならこんなもんかって楽さやった。痛いししんどいけど、お腹下した時の方がしんどい。」と感想を述べておりました。(笑)
I'm so glad that her labor was done with Epidural which was as she had wanted it to be. What made me surprised was that she said, "The labor with Epidural was surprisingly easy. It's still painful and tough, but I'd say that having diarrhea is much more painful." LOL
この写真、我が家の誰かに似ている気がするんですが、誰かは不明。(笑)
The baby boy reminded of somebody in my family, but I haven't got the answer yet. Haha.
その後、5日間入院して、14日から夫婦二人だけの子育てが始まっているようです。
She stayed in the hospital for 5 days (which is normal in Japan) and started taking care of him at home just with 2 of her and her husband from the 14th.
両家とも家族が離れて住んでいるので、中々家族からのサポートを受けられない状況なのですが、それでも頼れる人に頼れる時に頼りながら夫婦が一つのチームで子育てしていって欲しいなぁと願っています。
（スイッチ夫婦は旦那様の仕事の関係で新潟在住。夫婦両実家とも関西なのです。）
Both of their families live far away from them, which can't give them much support. Still, I hope that they'll make a good team as his parents and be willing to take any support from others whenever they get a chance.
(Both of their parents in Kansai area which's 7 hour drive (about 350miles) away from their city, Nigata.)
スイッチ＆旦那さん、改めておめでとう！！
Anyways, Congratulations to my loving sister, Switch and her husband, Yama-C!!
またこれで日本に帰る楽しみが一つ増えました。めいさんとも一緒に遊んでくれるかな？
Now I have one more fun thing added to my list for the next Japan trip. I hope that the baby boy will get along with May-chan.
という訳で、我がファミリーに新たなメンバーが加わったお話でした！
Okay, this is all about the new member of my family!!

家族が１人増えて、嬉しいことです。
生まれたばかりの赤ちゃんは、抱っこするのも怖いくらいですが、
家の娘は２人とも実家に帰省してのお産だったので、
そのときの孫たちのことを思い出しました。
見えてないけど、つぶらな瞳が可愛い！
娘さんお二人、里帰り出産でラッキーでしたね。3人娘の母さんの大きなサポートを受けながらの出産、心強かったでしょうね！！
