Thank you for the lovely baby shower in the office the other day. I think some of you already know about it, but a boy was born on December 1st. I'll post the message from my wife below, so please check that.

I'm sorry I was late in notifying everybody.
A health boy was born on December 1st. His name is Aoi. He weighs 6LB 11OZ.
He's growing quickly day by day and every day is very lively. As it's the first time we've raised a child, every day is a hard struggle, but we're looking forward to meeting with everybody.
From now on, we are looking forward to parents and child being together.
