Hi from in here! (by Bean)

I only have about 17 more weeks of living in Hotel Uterus. Then I get to come out and play with Daddy, Mommy, and Big Sister! Mommy and Daddy have finally started to buy me stuff!

 I am getting this bed stuff for my crib

   

 and I will ride in this in the car

   

 If you would like to see what else I want, you can look at my registry on Amazon.com.

Mommy would like you to know that shipping to an APO can be very expensive and frustrating. Sometimes the thing you want says you can ship to an APO, and then you try to check out and they tell you it can't. 

If you go to the Post Office and mail it yourself, you have to fill out a customs form and postage is expensive. Priority Mail gets here pretty fast, but Parcel Post takes about 30 days normally and if you mail it after Halloween it will probably take 45 days.

Mommy and Daddy only order stuff from Amazon that has Free Super Saver Shipping because they use Priority Mail, so it gets to Japan in about a week! 

Because of the frustrating shipping issues, they put Amazon.com gift cards on my registry. If you find something you like you can go to the bottom of the page and e-gift the item. Then Mommy and Daddy will deal with the shipping frustration!

Another thing you could do is donate something to Operation Hug-A-Hero in my name. Mommy and Daddy will buy me a Daddy Doll (you know because they are rich since Daddy has been in the Air Force for almost 16 years). But they know that not everybody can afford those Dolls for their kids. They think that Maddie's Daddy Doll was a big help for her while Daddy was TDY and deployed. Here are some pictures of Moo with her Daddy Doll.

I will see everybody soon!
