This is Jason.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday January 28th at 8:21am JST May(\u660e\u4ee5) came into the world. Unfortunately I didn&#8217;t make it there for the birth as she came out pretty quickly.  My wife called me at 6am saying May was on her way and I was on the Shinkansen(bullet train) just past Yokohama when I received the text from my wife with her and May just after birth. <\/p>\n<p>No matter. It would of been nice to have been there at the time of the birth, but when I finally got to meet her upon my arrival at the hospital in Nara, all of that didn&#8217;t matter anymore. Before I got there I was excited to meet May, but not in the way people gush about having a baby. I was more excited in the way to finally meet this little person that was in my wife all this time. When we finally met I was floored with emotions in a way I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve really felt before. The closest thing I can think about is it feeling like is your first crush. You are completely infatuated by them and there isn&#8217;t any jadedness or been there done that feeling that comes with age. It is innocent love all over again, but times 100.(no exaggeration)    I use to get sickened by people gushing about their child, but now I understand why; however, for those without children I can still respect that it&#8217;s annoying because nobody is as excited about someone else&#8217;s children as much as the parents are.  <\/p>\n<p>On that note; I would like to introduce you to my first child May, but I promise not to flood the blog with photos of her as I know they are something best kept to my family and I.  <\/p>\n<p>With that being said I am proud of her and oddly she has blue eyes. My Grandfather had incredibly blue colored eyes.  Those pasted down to my Mom, then my brother and nephew.  I didn&#8217;t get them, but I guess I carry the gene.  I thought though that brown was a dominant gene and blue was recessive, hence blue eyes slowing disappearing as the decades go on.  Anyway, she&#8217;s got them and they are a dark blue like I&#8217;ve never seen before. They&#8217;re like a dark blue Crayola Crayon. They have a bit of gold just around the pupil, so I think her eyes might eventually turn brown.  My Mom said mine were the same. Only time will tell&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again! This is Jason. On Tuesday January 28th at 8:21am JST May(\u660e\u4ee5) came into the world.
