Lavender (Brown) Entwhistle

She's finally here! She's here and we couldn't be happier!

Kevin and I are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl. She was born on Saturday night, December 5th and she's perfectly healthy and I can't take my eyes off of her. She's real and she's amazing.

Oh, and her name is Katherine Amara Entwhistle. We've already taken to calling her Kate and Katie. She weighs a little over seven pounds and she has Kevin's perfect brown eyes.

[Private to Hermione]
I'm going to be in St. Mungo's for a couple of days and I would love to see you if you're in the hospital. Katie wants to meet her Aunt Hermione, too.

[Private to Adrian]
I would love for you to stop by the maternity ward, if you have time. No pressure, or whatever but, I would love to see you if you would like to meet your niece.
[/Adrian]

I'm due in six days! It's quite possible that in six days, or less, I could have a baby! That's a scary though - then again, I don't want to be made to wait any longer than six days either. The girl is laying right on my bladder all... the... time! And when she's not doing that, she practicing a little football and kicking the hell out of my.

Oh, and let's not forget that the anxious baby gave me a panic attack with false labor. Now that was lots of fun! I feel bad for the nurses having to deal with me all afternoon for nothing.

I miss being able to walk normally and go shopping whenever I want. A few more days, a few more days, a few more days...

Do you know how many girls' names there are in the English language alone? Too many to count, that's how many! I don't even know where to start! Sydney would be an obvious choice, seeing as it was my mum's name and it's my middle name, but I hate Syd and would be afraid of her being called that. There really is no female version of Kevin though I do like Kayla which is kind of close. It's too hard to choose - I'm going to see if Kevin wants to call her 'Baby Girl Entwhistle' until she's old enough to make the decision on her own!

But, everyone is doing well. The baby is growing at the perfect rate. And don't I know it - I had to buy more clothes, new shoes (which I won't wear because slippers are far too comfortable to ever take off!) and a few other things as indulgences. Hey, I like to shop! I can still see my feet, but it's getting very difficult to reach down to them. All shoes must be slip-on at this point.

Kevin, would you be the best husband ever and bring me home a milkshake today? Oh, and biscotti. I don't know why, but that sounds so fabulous. Love you!

[Private to Kevin]
I feel like all we do is talk and all you do is hover. Kevin, I miss you, I need you. Have you looked at the calendar lately? Ten days till the full moon and I haven't seen you in six months! Please don't work in your studio late tonight, I'm ordering in something nice and you need to be with me tonight.
I love you.
[/Private]

[Private to Hermione]
Of course I'm up for a visitor! I'm only pregnant - you were in an accident! I heard a lot about it, but none of the details. I'm dying to know if everyone is all right! Kevin won't let me out of his sight and I'm getting bored and restless. All the baby does is somersaults in my abdomen - it's not fun anymore.
When can you come over? I miss you, so much!
[/Private]

I'm eternally grateful to everyone who worked so tirelessly to find me. It was quite the ordeal, but I'm all right and so is our baby. Which reminds me, Kevin and I had not gone public with that information, but seeing as things have changed - yes, it's true. I'm pregnant and due at the end of November. It's a very long story, but the short version is that my kidnapper took me back in time to experiment the long-term effects of time-travel. Needless to say, people age - hence me suddenly being seven months pregnant. But, all is well and we're very excited about having this baby.

What happened at St. Mungo's? I'm hearing all kinds of talk about a bomb or an explosion somewhere in the hospital. Is everyone all right? I need to know if my shop assistants are all right - and everyone else, of course.

( Owl to Hermione Granger )

Why... Why is it that when I need a nurse or a mediwitch, I can't find one?! I don't need a psychiatrist OK, I probably do because I have a lot of issues right now!, I don't need someone to reverse a poisoning, I don't need an autopsy although I do need to have a conversation with the coroner - again with the needing a therapist. I just need a nurse or a mediwitch or a healer or someone! I don't need an appointment - I need five minutes!

[Private]
Muggles make it easy. A woman can take a test right in her loo. It's weird and gross and involves peeing on a stick but maybe muggles are on to something. This is ridiculous. I'm not scheduling an appointment for this. I want to know now!

And, this is a little ridiculous. I mean, it was one day... one day! Of course it was the night of the full moon and it was far more than one time. I wonder if that matters. Oh, what if it's positive? What will Kevin think? I don't even know what his favorite Quidditch team is yet - how could I know if he wants children!? What have we done?

I am a married woman! Yes, that's right! I got married! And I'm loving every minute of it!

Kevin
I've also decided that, with my last name in dispute, I'm not even going to hyphenate my last name. I'm taking yours. Lavender Sydney Entwhistle, I think it has a lovely ring to it. Plus, I get to make all those millions of women around the world that adore you very, very jealous.
I love you, husband of mine.

[Hermione]
I'm very excited and I wanted to tell you because I'm so excited. Kevin asked me to move in with him! Amazing, just amazing - I'm ridiculously happy right now!
How did your date with Ron go? I heard you won him in the auction! I want details!
[/Hermione]


I'm ridiculously happy right now. Does anyone need a flat to rent? I need to break my contract but that's going to cost money - if someone wants to sublet from me for six months then rent it yourself, you're more than welcome to it. I need to know ASAP - like by this weekend, or I'm just going to forget it and break the contract.

[Private to Kevin]
How would you feel about me bidding on you at the auction on Friday night? I don't know if I would like it if some rich, old lady got to have a date with you.
[/Private]


[Private to Hermione]
Do you want to have lunch with me on Thursday afternoon? I'm going to the auction on Friday night and need to go shopping for something to wear so I'm taking a long lunch. Are you going to the auction? We could go shopping together, if you'd like.
I hope you can make it!
[/Private]


I'm looking forward to this Date Auction on Friday. It's for a good cause and it should be a lot of fun! I hope everyone is going to be there!

Yes, I'm in a ridiculously good mood - which is rare these days - so no one try to ruin it!

[Private]
My mum died... she just... died. How does that happen? She was young and healthy and now she's gone. The mediwizards think it was an accidental poisoning that had been going on for awhile. My mum drinks but not that much - it was a slow poisoning. Dad said she'd been sick for awhile. She was pretty much gone when I got there. By the time the mediwizard figured out what was going on, it was too late. That's insane, right? We're witches and wizards, shouldn't someone have done something?
I couldn't stand being there was my father anymore. He's going insane and I'm leaving my brothers to deal with him. He's threatening to come to London to meet with Magical Law Enforcement - it wasn't a crime, it was an accident. It could have happened to anyone.
Why her?
[/Private]

I'm back in London and going back to work tomorrow. I could have used a few more days back home but I couldn't take it anymore. I need to get back to some sort of reality. Anyway... I'm back.
