Hey Hab!
Have you noticed how I went from the very formal 'Dear Diary' to the no where near formal 'Hey Hab!' Isn't funny how things work.
Anyways I have more important news to tell you. If only I could remember what it was. (Ha ha) I gave birth to my beautiful baby Lillian Molly Potter yesterday morning, and oh my god did I know it. It was so fricking painful. Seriously! The contractions felt like they were ripping my body in half, as Harry stood there going 'You can do it! Go girl!' and I lay there and squeezed his penis at every contraction. (Once again joking!)
No, he just stood tensely at my side, supportively holding my hand throughout the whole ordeal, wincing every time I screamed. I have no idea why. I was only just breaking the second sound barrier. And then when it was all over and the pushing had finished and little Lillian had finally come out with an all mighty plop, all we heard were her screams. Man she has some lungs on her! (You can tell she took after my side of the family for that!) I am already dreading her tantrums. Eek!
But, my beautiful screaming baby looks almost like I imagined her. Already she had a head of rich auburn coloured hair, and as soon as she opened her small, sleepy eyes I saw that beautiful emerald green that Harry gave her. Looking up at me, I was the first person she smiled at as she drank from her pre-made bottle with milk formulae. (Witches don't breast feed. It's just nasty in too many ways to count)
My beautiful gorgeous is just too good for words. It's just so hard describing her. She's a good baby that doesn't cry unless she's hungry and she sleeps a lot. But is the smaller things that I have noticed, like the way that she looks at you. It's like she already knows that Harry and I are her parents, you can just see it in her eyes. Every time she looks at me, I get that whole heart filling up so much its going to explode feeling, and I'm sure Harry gets the same, from the way he looks at her.
Anyways I think she'll be getting hungry soon, so I'd better like go now. I really appreciate being able to write to you. You're like my best friend, besides Luna, who should be coming around later to see Lily.
Love, Ginny
