Fourth birth

Ono Karori

It's been a month since my daughter was born on Space Day, September 12th. She now has a completely round face.
The LIFT Ryosuke Yagi exhibition, which began on the 19th, the day I was discharged from the hospital, and the MITTAN exhibition, which began on October 3rd, have now finished.
You will be able to view the permanent exhibits at Utsushiki for a while, so please come and relax.
For me personally, seeing the works of familiar artists, antiques, and scenery I hadn't seen in a long time made me feel like I was "coming home."
I will be returning from a month's maternity leave soon.
Thank you everyone for your support!
Well, even though you're returning to work, your body and daily rhythm will be different from before you had your baby. But your work, housework, and childcare duties will remain the same, plus you'll have to take care of your baby.
Compared to other mammals, human babies are born in a very immature state and cannot survive without special care.
During the postpartum period, the mother had to breastfeed her baby every two or three hours and had trouble getting sleep.
My older sister and brother woke me up in the middle of the night, so I became a short sleeper lol
Even when a man has a child, he says, "I don't feel it because I'm not pregnant."
It may be difficult to experience it physically, but knowing your partner's condition and how your baby is developing,
I think it's important for couples to have a sense of ownership in sharing child-rearing and housework.
Of course, working hard for your family is also great!
This time, my husband was very helpful. I was a little worried about leaving it to him, but he was able to take care of three children, do housework, and be a working father.
I was happy to see that the children seemed to trust their father more than ever, calling him "Dad" and "Yasu" and having fun.
After 10 years, we are finally able to have the time to think about each other.
I had assumed that I was responsible for housework and childcare, but after giving birth to my fourth child, I realized that I should have relied on my husband more.
I was completely absorbed in both work and raising my children. Looking back, time flew by and I hurt many people and was hurt myself a lot.
Parents are also immature. Let's talk, spend time together, and grow together.
