I had an appointment with the healers today. We still can't tell the sex of him, but it doesn't matter too terribly much anyhow as we all know he's a boy. There was a heartbeat for the first time! I actually heard his little heart pounding. It was so faint, but it made me tear up a little bit. There's a little human inside of me.
I've been extremely tired lately and taking more naps during the day. I can't seem to keep up with anything around the house anymore.
I had another check up today and everything seems to be moving along smoothly. It's still really early on in the pregnancy, but Lucius and I have already started getting ready for our little baby boy. Because he will be a boy. I figure I should get the nursery done early on in the pregnancy instead of waiting when I'm huge. I read an entire book on pregnancy. Apparently putting the nursery together yourself is a part of 'nesting' so to speak. It's all quite odd, to tell you the truth, but I'll do anything for this baby.
I think it's finally safe to announce that myself and Lucius are expecting. The healers say everything is normal and there's no chance of a miscarriage. This is... beyond words, truly.
[Private to Severus] ..and I have you to thank for it.
I am so incredibly embarrassed about all of this. I am sorry for having shamed you. It was to be a secret. It was a secret. I panicked and the hex, it..everyone knows. We will have a son. I promise you that. [/private]
Thank you all for your condolences. I assure you I am fine. I am at home resting should anyone care to visit.
[Private to Lucius] Darling..I have some really good news. Will you come home early tonight? I want to tell you in person.
[Private to Bellatirx, Rodolphus, Severus and Regulus] I'm pregnant! It worked. It actually worked. I can hardly believe it. I haven't told Lucius yet because I want to tell him in person. Please don't say anything to anyone outside of yourselves.
I haven't had a moment to myself, I've been so busy with taking care of Papa. I knew about the attack on the Ministry almost immediately because things went crazy at St. Mungos and they had to move Papa's room twice. I had a fit when they tried to move him a third time. He doesn't look so well. I think anyone who wants to say their goodbyes should come by and do so.
I picked up this journal at Flourish and Blotts, and one for Lucius too. I read about it in the newspaper this morning and decided we could use the extra way of keeping in contact with not only each other, but the rest of our family as well.
