Okay

Hey Guys!

So this video is gonna be a little bit different than the normal videos.

Yepp!

This is gonna be a little bit more personal.

Yepp!

today...

Very personal

Shall we just start telling them?

Yeah

Yeah? Already?

Ooohh〜

So the news is....

Maiko is pregnant!!!

YAY!

I'm pregnant by six months

Six months

we've been wanting to tell you guys for quite a long time,

but just because uh,

They have this thing in Japan cause I'm thinking it's probably the same all over the world.

I guess the pregnancy is still unstable

So you don't want to tell people until it's been stable and just like the last month or so?

I think, I'm thinking starts from month five

the work that well... We're new to this entire experience

This is our first time

We've actually been on a trip to Korea and Hawaii

Yeah,

And I was actually super sick! Like I think I had a morning sickness morning sickness in english?

I was there in Hawaii. I wanted to eat a lot of stuff like I could eat

Yeah, that was like such a torture.

from last month? I think my morning sickness got better

I'm able to eat and my baby bump started to be you know,

can you show them how much?

This is how it looks

Yeah

It's not that big Not that big but I think

Yeah, so that's six months.

Like if you see from the front I can´t see

cause you're wearing black

No, like some people gets wide.

But yeah, I'm so happy. I'm over the morning sickness stage and I'm able to eat

I'm able to work out

Yeah, so the thing is a lot of people kind of picked up on

not a lot but like some people actually picked up on it

in some of our videos

Maiko has this mark is a

pregnancy badge that people wear around in Japan

and basically the reason why they wear this badge is so that people know to

Not like bump into them or if they're on the train for example to offer them a seat.

What other situations do you need?

Um, from what I heard and you go to the supermarket and like people actually help you to like, carry stuff to the cart

So it's basically they're gonna be nice to you.

I don't even know if they have this in the US I

Don't think so. Maybe this is like something just in Japan

I don't let me know if it's like you guys have this in your country

But you can even see on the trains they have like this mark nowdays

Maiko you can actually tell that she's pregnant yet

Yeah, like, it's hard to tell if she's wearing like baggy clothes

So like this mark helps you tell like whether or not they're pregnant

So just were you guys coming to Japan and you see this you might want to just know that the lady is pregnant

Yeah, don't worry so much

the channel is gonna stay as is or still gonna release content.

Maiko usually if you guys know familiar with the channel.

Maiko is usually behind the camera for a lot of this

So but maybe you know, I might need to get another cameraman or like do some of the stuff on my own

So we just have to like kind of like figure out

how we're doing this because she usually travels with me

which is kind of sad because I do love taking her to

Aww

places

We have fun filming but

just doing this time

Or maybe like after a baby's born. I guess one of the first challenges of the experience when you found out Maiko was pregnant

I was actually choosing a clinic

Oh yeah!

And so like in Japan what happens is a lot of women actually have

their pregnancy natural?

naturally?

Well, it's more like Japanese culture.

Natural birth it's more acceptable and using that

So basically it's like they shoot it into your spine and you like press a button

Yeah, but like there's a word for that right?

Painelss delivery

Really?

So I guess (japanese word) means anesthesia

Yeah, so like if that's not what we do here in the Western culture or like in European culture, it's more common more women has

painkillers, when give a birth and it's more like you choose to give a birth naturally, right?

But in Japan if you don't choose anything you're gonna give a birth naturally that's like a common thing

It's the basic it's normal thing to do here. So like I chose painless labor.

Yeah,

less people do it

so like there are such a few numbers of

Clinics. Yeah, let you do it

Yeah, basically what I did is when I just found now when I was just like a month two months

Not everyone

that's what so different people don't book a clinic to give a birth that early because you don't have to

but like my friend she didn't book it until like

like a month ago or something and she's the same month pregnant.

Oh

That's the big difference like so I chose a painless labor

when I just find now at the Labor Day and that's the time that you can book it

And then I couldn't get into the one that I wanted to cause like this is such a small amount

Yeah, a painless delivery of hospitals and clinics that they get booked up fast

Didn't they get booked up fast because people right when people find out and they want that but then they call the clinic and reserve

That's funny because we actually have a friend who's a foreigner that didn't really know much about the system and they had their first child

Outside of the country and they had a painless delivery

And so that's what they assumed and then when they had there's like delivery.

She was in a lot of pain

She's like, where's my medicine like?

Where's the painkillers and she didn't realize that she couldn't have any and she was in so much pain

I think she was like in labor for I think 24 -26 hours like something ridiculous without any pain

She said she was about to die and she was exhausted

Exhausted and she was and like once you go to the hospital like some hospitals just do not give you any meds

So so I'm just glad so we found a clinic. Yeah, I got in one of the best clinics

So that's kind of one of the beliefs about this thing is really

at least we know where we're gonna go

So we've started going to the doctor

And just like in general the reason why we're telling this is that. I guess our whole entire life is about to change

For those of you who have kids you already know

But for us right now like we're in Tokyo we live in Shibuya

We live and together in like a small studio 35 square meters. It's like one room just for the two of us

It's still a little bit tight, especially since we work out of here like for the most part

But we just like love living in Shibuya

But I think we're gonna need to kind of expand our operation and move to somewhere else all of this like changes and stuff

That's going on. The plan is to document all of this stuff and to kind of share with you this entire process

and that's why we started a second channel called Tokyo zebra

I know some of you have been kind of waiting for that channel

we're gonna like post a lot of kind of like daily activities how Maiko doing we're actually gonna see if we can film

You've got permission to film the clinic we're gonna be looking to either purchase a house

Or renovate a house or maybe even just like rent a house like we need to move before Maiko gets pregnant

so we've been actually searching for the last few months, but

No, half a year

We've been looking for so long well, I have been

So like all of this stuff

we're gonna probably put on that channel so that we don't inundate you because we usually make guides and

I came to life videos for this this channel and other channel is just gonna be kind of like a raw really unedited footage

of just like our daily live stuff you guys are interested in that then we're gonna definitely leave a link hit the subscribe button to

See what we're doing on the daily

like that's basically it the new channel is gonna be

Started and we actually just found out whether it's gonna be a boy or a girl

Oh, yeah

Right we gonna do but like it wasn't a hundred percent sure and like the last visit which is a couple days ago

Right. It was like sure. Yeah. Yes, and you see the size like a little face and stuff

So I'm gonna post that as our first video on Tokyo zebra
