[February 14] |
I meant to write this days ago, but as anyone with a newborn child knows, nearly all of your plans get pushed aside for that little darling. With all of the negativity and judgement and upsetting news as of late, I thought it was time to share something good -- and when better but today?
Conveniently, she is also asleep, giving me time to catch up on what I have missed these last few days and to write this.
Our precious daughter, Pansy Eudora Parkinson, was born on the 9th of February at seven thirty in the evening. Both Pansy and myself are healthy, although I confess to be quite exhausted these last five days. She already has quite a voice on her, and looks just as I did as an infant. Truly, I had not imagined my life to be quite so wonderful as it has turned out, and for that I have my husband to thank today.
Should anyone like to visit, do let me know and when I am feeling more like myself again, I would be more than happy to show her off.

In the aftermath of that mad wenc Mrs Jugson's madness, I feel as though it is important to say a few words - not on her behalf, mind you, but on the behalf of my family. Tobias Jugson was my husband's cousin, and to say that he is upset over that woman's confession would be an understatement. I am honestly somewhat frightened because I have never seen him so angry We see now that she ceased to be any family of ours the moment she had a hand in the death of our cousin. This is a betrayal of the worst kind. Now, I realise we only have her words to go on, but if there is even a shred of truth to what she wrote, we will not mourn her. My husband's only wish now is that his cousin can finally be at rest and that the DMLE might actually do their job if this happens to another fami
Oh dear, I think all of this emotion must have triggered
Warded to Lucia & Dahlia:
I think it's time! No, it's definitely -- oh, goodness.

Warded Private:
I wouldn't be able to bear it if something happened to Lucia's child. This child means so much to her, and to Patrice, and should she lose another
I cannot bear to think of that possibility. It cannot be. It is likely her last Oh, what I would give to make it easier for her. Both of my pregnancies have been easy in comparison to what my dear sister has been through, and I wish I understood why that is.
Silas is right, I should not fret so much about this, but when one's sister is in such pain and is alone, it is hard not to worry.
Why, I wonder, would Patrice not be there with her at such an hour? And where? My poor sister.

Warded to Dylan Selwyn:
I was wondering if I might have a word with you about utilising your skills as an Obliviator to help relieve me of a cause of recent stress. In my current state, it is unwise to rely upon heavy doses of Dreamless Sleep, but I would like to sleep again before my child is born. My husband recommended your services, and we would be more than happy to pay you for them.
Warded to Lucia:
I've decided to ask Dylan Selwyn to help remove that ghastly image from my mind. You and his sister are friendly, correct? He seems like a trustworthy fellow from what I can tell.

I wish so much that our world was safe again. It seems like every day there is some new horror, and I wonder if I ought to simply stay at home for now. Werewolves and Muggles and -- oh, it is simply too much to think about. Staying home would certainly prevent me witnessing such gruesome displays as the one I saw on Monday -- God rest his soul. Good riddance as well I have only just recovered from that shock, and I thank my lucky stars that I did not bring my son with me on my errands that morning.
I think I will have to send my house elf out from until the end of my pregnancy. Less than a month now. That should not be terribly difficult to do.
Warded to Lucia & Dahlia:
There is no question he deserved punishment for his appalling behaviour, but must it be so public? I wish I could erase the images from my mind. Perhaps I ought to speak with an Obliviator.

It is so rewarding to be able to give back during the holiday season, especially during such trying times. Between doing what I can for the less fortunate children in our world, whether that be finding gifts or carolling, I find myself not even wanting anything for myself.
Except, perhaps, a chance to rest my feet, although I fear saying that now will mean that the rest of these weeks will involve me being unable to go anywhere. Oh Merlin, I hope not.
Warded to Dulcinea:
I know I said this at your ball, but I wanted to say it again: it truly was wonderful. I know you were concerned that it would appear callous, and I do hope no one thought that of you, or any of your guests, but I believe it was a good thing for us to find some happiness in something, however short-lived it might have been. And you, of course, looked stunning! What I would give to look like that again!
Warded to Dahlia:
I expect we will both be busy with holiday parties and family get-togethers over the next few days, but we must find some time for just ourselves!
Warded to Lucia:
How are you feeling, my dear? Any news about the baby?

It is so, so hard to believe that Phineas is four years old today. It feels like only yesterday we were meeting him for the first time, and now he has turned into a little gentleman (most of the time!). He seemed to have a wonderful time at his birthday party this weekend, which was a relief after all of the hard work I put into his party. And, so I do not bore anyone by gushing over my son, I think I will stop there. I remember how dreadfully dull I found women who could only talk about their children when I could not relate. It seems silly in retrospect, now that I have my own, but I suppose it is only natural that one's perspective would change.
Now that his birthday has passed, I finally have the time to dedicate to decorating our home for Christmas. My only problem is I still cannot decide upon a theme! I'm running short on time as it is, so this is somewhat worrisome, and my concentration is at an all-time low. If only it were already February.
Warded to Lucia:
You're feeling well, I hope? I had a question for you, if you have time.

My son is turning four in a few short weeks, and although invitations went out to all of his friends a few weeks ago (you can never plan too early), I have yet to decide upon a theme. I know he wouldn't even know the difference, but he only turns four once.
