Mary is resting, so you will need to forgive. But we have news!

Bah, je ne suis pas bon avec l'anglais...

Erm, there is une photo. I can share, I think.

Lisette Zurie DuBois. Elle est si belle.

I forgot how big pregnancy feels by the second trimester. Augustin tells me that pregnancy suits me, but I can already tell this is going to be an interesting ride. Everything just seems--right. And still killing him to not know if we're expecting a boy or a girl. But I'm still loving the idea of a surprise, so we're sticking with the plan for now.

Michael has started talking to my tummy and is very much curious (and excited) about everything to come. Out of curiosity, is this an old habit for him Gabriel? We've discussed how excited we are to share our toys and show him (or her) how to use crayons and take her (or him) to the farm to visit Mom-mom and Pop-pop MacDonald.

LAST. BOX. UNPACKED.

Happy New Year, everyone! We celebrated with crepes, which was much better than the time that Augustin had us try escargot. I just wanted to have a little mini snail funeral at the table. ~~It wasn't bad tasting but--~~

Sebastian! You should come over with the boys and Mackenzie for Epiphany. We're excited to host a real housewarming. But this offer really extends to anyone from our year! Just to clarify! ~~And Gabriel but I don't think that~~

Well, it's been a terribly long time but I'm back! I've missed London and it feels brilliant to be home. I've been offered a position in the international affairs department of the Daily Prophet. I'm also so glad that it'll cut down on the distance for Michael between his parents. He was my first thought when they offered the job to me, it's obviously the best thing for him now that he's getting a bit older. Of course, Augustin's got a little ways to go with getting accustomed to London but I think we'll square him away in no time.

I'm just ready to get all these boxes unpacked.

Michael and I decided that it would be splendid to travel in muggle fashion back to England for the holidays. After packing everything up into a taxi, Michael made sure to show off his new found waving capability to our doorman while babbling incoherently. Naturally, his favorite part of the trip was on the ferry. The kid has his sea legs, that's for sure!

And I'm happy to report that he's slowly making attempts at crawling. Soon the dogs at Mum's will be running in fear from their tiny, impish friend. ~~My little lamb is growing up~~

Gabriel, I'm sure that you already have holiday plans of your own, but Mum would like to formally extend an invitation to come over for the holidays. She also promises to tuck away any firearms that may be present in the house to ensure that Father does not decide to repetat last year's...er, event. Do let me know what you decide.

Paris is gorgeous in the fall. ~~I miss being~~

I'm thinking now may be a good time to go home for a visit. Gabriel, would it be alright to take Michael on a visit to the farm? I'm sure mum would love spending time with her grandson.

I love the view from my new flat. And how wonderfully adorable Michael's nursery is. Maybe it's just being in Paris that makes it even more adorable.

I love being a Mummy. Everything up to this point has been worth it in my eyes.

[Gabriel] I haven't brought it up yet because Michael is my first priority at this point. But back in October, when I quit at the Prophet and everything, I had sent letters and resumes out to papers outside of England. And I wasn't expecting to hear anything, but I just got a response from a paper in Paris offering me a position. I want--I want to be here, with ~~you~~ Michael, I want to be involved but. There's so much that I can--Gabriel, it's a column offer! I would never get that with the Prophet, not after everything I've done and all the fuss I've made.

I don't know what to do right now. I need your advice. [/Gabriel]

17 days.

This last week on bed rest has been absolute torture. I don't...how am I supposed to last for 17 bloody more days?!

2009-05-29T01:49:39Z

[Gabriel] Things didn't feel right today at work, so I went to Mungo's and they've put me on bed rest until further notice. The healer assured me that it's completely normal but--what if everything last month--and--Gabriel, I feel like. ~~If he's hurt or--I'll never forgive myself~~

I'm at my flat right now and it's so quiet and I can't stand how empty it feels right now. And I understand if it's too much to ask but if you wouldn't mind, some company would be nice. [/Gabriel]

Pregnancy bumps make for brilliant journal propping whilst lying in a hospital bed. Even if the use of journals is generally frowned upon in such cases...

~~I need to talk to a bloody nurse or a healer or SOMEONE because~~

[Gabriel] Went to a muggle doctor with my mum. She wanted to "meet" her grandson, so to speak.

Thought you might like seeing them. [/Gabriel]

Happy Spring. Belatedly, of course.

I'm ready to be home for Easter. I've needed a snuggle with Snowball for some time now.

[Mackenzie] Eee, okay, so I don't know if this was okay or not (I hope so), but my mum really wanted me to go in and see an OBGYN and so she made an appointment with hers, and they took an ultrasound of the baby and--well, it's so exciting, they had photos of it printed off! So I don't know if I really should have, since I know you're my healer and all, but if you want I can bring the photo in to our next appointment. :) [/Mackenzie]

~~Thank god I don't have to use slimming charms anymore--I was getting tired of feeling all squished and uncomfortable~~

Well. I guess I should just be out with it, then. I'm pregnant and I'm due towards the end of June. Please, don't act so shocked.

2009-02-17T06:10:53Z

Harumph. ~~Gabriel, you are un-invited to the next baby appointment~~

Writer's block. Bullocks.

Who wants to distract Mary so she can try and find inspiration again? Mackenzie? Sebastian? ~~Gabriel?~~ Liz? Aaaanyone?

I feel so oooooooooold right now. Ugh. The cake didn't make things better at all, either! ~~I swear I ate like, half of it or something~~

But party hats. Party hats make me feel better...at least a little bit. ~~The baby thoroughly enjoyed the one I placed on my tummy~~

Gabriel, I demand that you stop being the same age as me so I can stop feeling so ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold!

[Lily] Okay, so I've been trying to wait to tell you because of things ~~since not even our families know yet but~~ but I'm not even sure that I can wait any longer and--oh, geez. I mean, the only people who know are Sebastian and Mackenzie and that's because she just sorta--well, she was there when I found out. But!

I'm going to be a mummy in 5 or so months. [/Lily]

~~Ugh, I feel fat and bloated~~

I have really really good news. But unless your last name is Goldstein or Corner, you don't get to know. Not that you'd really care, but. Just saying. ~~If Gabriel and I could just tell our families, I could share my good news with everyone but noooo.~~

GABRIEL------WHATEVER YOUR MIDDLE NAME IS~~, I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER BUT IT DOES NOT REALLY MATTER RIGHT NOW AUGH~~ CORNER! IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS ON A JOURNAL AND WRITE A RESPONSE OF SOME SORT, SO HELP ME. ~~THIS BABY IS NOT GOING TO BE FATHERLESS, IF YOU DIE I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL----AUGH~~

2008-12-07T03:51:11Z

[Gabriel] So. Erm. I was thinking that if--

~~Christmas is coming soon, isn't it?~~

~~I want you to meet my parents before I tell them so Dad doesn't try to shoot you with his shot gu--you probably have no idea what a shot gun is, do you?~~

~~Bugger.~~ [/Gabriel]

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. ~~...oh wow, that actually made sense in an ironic sort of way~~ I need to figure out what to get everyone! Ideas are welcome...but if you're not on my nice list you might not get it.

I love the last month of the year. 1979's been quite an eventful one, too. We'll have to see what December's got in store, yeah?

~~Augh, I want to tell people already but Gabriel won't~~

2008-11-21T05:58:53Z

~~First check up for the baby is tomorrow...I'm so nervous about this~~

Mackenzie! Would you like to meet up for lunch tomorrow afternoon?

~~I'm shocked that the Ministry hasn't removed more of my rights in the past few weeks.~~

The dance was good. Got some things off my chest ~~just not to the right person~~, danced with a few blokes, had lots and lots of fun. Even if no one got the costumes Stubby and I wore!

[Gabriel] Can we get ~~coffee~~ ~~tea~~ coffee and a scone sometime? [/Gabriel]

~~So remember when we~~
[/Gabriel]

Hrm. By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. ~~Son of a bitch...~~

[Sebastian] So. Mackenzie was over the other night, if she didn't tell you. [/Sebastian]

I think I have food poisoning. ~~I had chinese for dinner last night...maybe it wasn't cooked very well~~ Waldo, I'm probably going to skip out on any events coming up, at least until I get better.

Boooo, someone make it go away. Please. I can't keep anything down ~~and I felt fine this morning, what the hell~~
