I am doing about as well as expected. It was not my favorite pregnancy, that is for sure. My nursemaid says if we have another all I will have to do is sneeze and the babe will fall out. Which rings true, I fear. Violet and Poppy are doing alright, Poppy more so than Violet, I fear she gets more rambunctious with each new arrival. Takes after me in that regard.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well! I can't imagine how big she is, it feels like ages since I've see you! A trip to Egypt, how exciting, I admit I am a bit jealous, I hope you have a wonderful time.

The move was prompted by the arrival of two instead of one, we've outgrown the cottage as a full-time residence. Plus we are so far away from everyone out there, every time I am with child, I am housebound and it drives me a little mad. We will keep it for summer visits, but have purchased a home in London that we will be able to grow with us, should we expand the family any further. Plus we can visit easier. I tried for Hogsmeade, but Edric simply wouldn't go for it after all of the disasters in recent years. I can't say I blame him.

I would love for you to visit us once everything is settled. We're hoping early in December to be all moved in, so that we may spend the holidays in the new home. I'll let you know!
