February 26th
Dearest Nova,
I've finally done it, but having done it I must admit I am in awe of you having already done so twice. And you so dainty and delicate, always, it is a wonder the thing didn't kill you! How did you manage it? I'm sure we must have talked of this before but having not been through it myself I couldn't possibly have understood, and now that I can you must tell me everything so that we can commiserate on the terrible lot we wives have.
After all is said and done, however, the baby is here. A boy, whom we've called Nicholas Cian (I am fortunate in my choice of husband; his traditional family names are merely Irish and not quite so strange to the ears as the Malfoy's!)
I am still recovering but would love to see you at any convenient time — though do please leave the boys at home until I am officially open to receiving guests as I will be quite a mess in the meantime.
Yours,
Ophelia
