At 41, I gave birth.

It was announced a little early at Machineguns' "Machineguns Talk Live vol.03: Takizawa Hidekazu Birthday Festival," but I have given birth at 41!!

And happy birthday, Mr. Takizawa!

Why is it that my important announcements are always like this!! My marriage and divorce were on Black Pine SOS's YouTube channel, and my childbirth is at a Machineguns live show?!

Well, whatever!!

Fertility treatment part 1

Fertility treatment part 2

I will be publishing reports I've written about my journey from fertility treatment to childbirth on note as I go.

I experienced sad things during fertility treatment and my pregnancy was filled with anxiety, but I reached a conclusion that makes me glad I took on the challenge.

If anything, this is just the beginning, and from here on out it will be a series of anxieties, and there may be times when things are sadder than ever before.

But I will never regret the choices I've made up to this point, or this present moment that I have carved out as my future.

I want to enjoy being a laid-back, new mom in my late thirties.
