Kotori Tsukumo (nee Mizuki)

It's hard to believe that we're just less than two months away from our little boy joining our family. He's due around the end of July, so we've been busy making sure we have everything set up for him for when he arrives.

This month, I'm wrapping up the last commissions, as well as other stuff, with my business and I'll then be taking maternity leave from early July and through all of August. I'm hoping I'll be able to return to my business in September, but I'll have to see how things go. Being self-employed and running my own business, having time off is a little more risky, so I don't want to be away from it for too long.

Thankfully, Yuma also has leave for most of August too, so he can be at home with us, plus we have a lot of friends and family who'll be helping us out during that first month, so we can concentrate mainly on the baby and I can concentrate on healing.

I think we've also finally settled on a name we both like, but, we won't be announcing the name until he's born.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Yuma and I just got back from spending the New Year with our family in Heartland. It's always lovely to see everyone and spend time with them. Yuma's parents have gone back to travelling since they are no longer bound to the Astral World, so they brought everyone gifts from the places they've been to over the last year or so.

We also have a bit of an announcement to make.
Yuma and I are expecting our first child together later this year, due around late July or early August. We actually found out I was pregnant last month, but with me being busy with work and the holidays, I didn't have much time to announce it. Though I figured waiting a little bit was probably good too, since I'm still really early on.

We're both really excited, and a little bit anxious, but we're looking forward to getting to meet the baby when it arrives.
