Ha! You were awfully oddly shaped by the end of when you were carring Bea, yes. I hadn't stopped to think about how odd it must have been to not be able to morph. I wonder if Baby will be a metamorph too, or if the Weasley traits will win out. I guess I'll hope they don't, it could be a bit awkward to explain why Mr and Mrs Ponds have a tiny ginger.
I was thinking yesterday, the appointment with the Healers to do the charms to find out what sex Baby will be is in what, two weeks? And then I freaked out a little, because that makes this even more real, and it was already pretty real. We haven't really talked about it, but are you hoping for one or the other? It might be nice for Bea to have a sister, but likewise it might be nice for you to have one of each.
And I know we're going to have to be careful with names and all, and I don't actually like naming children after dead people, because it always strikes me as not letting the kid grow up to be their own person. But still, if Baby is a girl, I think her middle name should be something for your mother. Not her name, that's too risky, but something that reminds you of her. And if Baby's a boy, I think his middle names should be Arthur and Ted. (Although 'Ted' might make people think of Nott, and that's nothing good there -- but it would still be nice to honour your father.)
I'm pretty sure you could not only hold your own in a duel, but you could out-duel me one-handed. At least from what Frank says.
