013. BABY BOOMING
On the baby front, I'm not sick anymore but I've gone wee more times this morning than I've gone in an entire day. I've grown huge as houses, and I don't want to believe that it gets worse, that I'll get larger in the weeks to come. I'm sure I look hideous (you can't ever deny it, Sep, I refuse to listen), I haven't gone out in days. There's not much else to report on my end but-

Oh, I nearly forgot: now I can feel the baby move! It's amazing, to feel him (I'm positive it's a he, I just know it--he's as persistent as Septimus) pressing against my belly. I like putting my hand there whenever he starts in, it's like a little thump against my hand, like he knows it's Mummy there and he's impatient to see everyone and everything. Sep's mum was there the first time I felt the baby move, and we both cried--from happiness, of course.

PRIVATE TO C3
But as much as I love being here and appreciate Septimus' family for putting up with me, I still wish I might have had this moment with my own family. For all our differences and arguments I can't help but- I'm still scared and I'd rather I wasn't going through this without you all. Mum included.
