may you grow up to be righteous
may you grow up to be true
may you always know the truth
and see the lights surrounding you
may you always be courageous
stand upright and be strong
( may you stay forever young )

Excuse the ward -- last month has left me paranoid.
As of today, I am thirty weeks pregnant. I looks as though I swallowed a quaffle, although the baby kicks and jabs as though it's a bludger, and right now my whole stomach is shifted oddly because he or she is currently curled up on my left side and keeps elbowing when repositioning to get more comfortable. I have heartburn, I'm bloated, I've got gas, and I'm I'm also starting to swell up and I can't even wear my wedding ring because it's too tight.
Oh Merlin and now she's pushing around and I can see it and it's so endearing, but I'm also not used to it so it's kind of weird and, er.
Anyway.
It's okay! Because in a month and a half, Baby Dawlish will be here and that makes it all worth it. Even though that means six more weeks of We're not having another one for at least ten years, though, I swear to
Thank you for this moment of TMI. In better news, I finished the mural in the baby's room: ( Wave your wands! )

I've been thinking about it for the past few days and I need to get it out now before I tell her this to her face when I have lunch with her and never heard the end of it. Sometimes I wonder if Mum enjoys the target on her back.
Okay, there. I'm done.

This feels so dreadfully belated and for that I apologize, but my heart goes out to anyone that was touched by the attacks on Sunday -- and any other attack or threat or any other fear tactic that has been put into place, for that matter.
It's like my mum has said again and again: Together we have come this far and together that we will make it through until the end.

It feels like I should have a lot of things to say about the events of earlier this week, but I don't think I have anything to say that hasn't already been said by those before me -- also said more eloquently than I could probably ever manage, too.
And so, instead, I'm going to talk about something completely different.
It's strange to me that despite that I've not had a traditional Monday through Friday workweek for years and John hasn't in all the time I've been with him, I still find a sense of contentment when the weekend has finally arrived. I don't know if it's just something that comes instinctively with the titles of Saturday and Sunday or what, but there you have it. I just feel that much less guilty when I find myself sleeping in on the weekends than I do during the week.
Also, who exactly made the executive decision that yellow was a unisex color?

Dear Merlin, I just talked to my mum. Are you all right?
Merlin, that's the worst question ever. Just -- is there anything I can do?
All of this sounds so hollow.

Hey. How are you holding up?

There was a time I wasn't stressed at all times, right? Surely that time existed.

Everything going on in the journals aside.
I saw Mum today and asked her about that whole... Hug a Muggleborn thing from last night. Apparently it never even reached her desk and was approved by someone below her to be released. She's not entirely pleased.
It still makes me sigh, but at least she wasn't behind it.
