A Hole in His Heart.🇯🇵 | My Baby's 1-Month Checkup | Newborn Life in Rural Japan

I'm a 31-year-old mom of two living in rural Japan. Right after Tsubaki was born, we were told he has a small hole in his heart. Today was the day we'd find out if it had gotten worse — and whether we'd need to see a specialist. I was terrified going in. ───────────────────────────── This channel is not about a perfect life. It's about real life — the mess, the quiet, and everything in between. Just an honest look at slow living in rural Japan. ───────────────────────────── 📌 In this video 00:00 Good morning — Tsubaki's 1-month checkup day 00:48 About Tsubaki's heart condition 01:39 A mix of worry and hope 02:12 What is a ventricular septal defect? 03:08 Morning snack battle with Ouki 😄 03:48 Decaf coffee & sibling differences 04:32 Ghibli in Japan vs overseas 04:44 Tsubaki's tiny hands 04:49 Hanging laundry / ant watching 06:30 Daycare drop-off 06:49 My dad watches Tsubaki 07:07 House chores & tidying up 08:40 Futons vs beds — sleep culture in Japan 09:56 1-month checkup paperwork 11:04 The note from the pediatrician 11:39 Lunch — ochazuke 12:11 His legs are getting so strong 12:56 Heading to the hospital 13:50 Checkup results & heart update 🙏 14:52 Update: the specialist visit 15:29 For now, we can breathe easy ───────────────────────────── ☕ If you enjoy slow life content from rural Japan, feel free to subscribe.
