Oh, yay, I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you! :D

LOL :)

Is this a conversation that is going on at your house a lot now?

The girl would by Lily Nymphadora, of course :)

bratanimus January 9 2009, 20:07:39 UTC

Erm, actually, it is. ;) And I won't tell you which of those four "joke" names keep coming up in conversation, lol.

Glad you liked this. :D

So, so sweet.

You've got yours picked out???

bratanimus January 9 2009, 20:08:51 UTC

Thank you! It was fun to write.

Nope, we've got 3 or 4 contenders, but we've not settled on a name yet. It's surprisingly difficult!! :P

Aww, way cute.

Don't you hate it when they dare laugh at you while you're stuck trying over and over to do things like get off the couch or out of bed?

And I swear babies do kick more at night - our motion during the day lulls them into sleeping and our inactivity at bedtime makes them stay awake. :lol:

bratanimus January 9 2009, 20:11:03 UTC

Thanks, sweetie! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D

Lucky for me Mr Brat has not laughed TOO hard at me yet, lol. It is kind of funny. I laugh at myself, most of all. Hee. :D

I totally agree that babies kick more at night!! Last night Junior was doing some completely insane maneuvering in there. I have no idea what he was up to. Rearranging furniture, probably.

It's like as soon as you hit seven months they just know space is running out and all the moving around they want to do had better get done NOW. Because by 36 weeks they are stuck in that position. :lol: Has he gotten his feet in your ribs yet?

bratanimus January 9 2009, 23:57:32 UTC

Yeah, I'm almost 32 weeks/8 months now, and I think he's feeling the quickening of time and the shrinking of space, lol. He hasn't gotten my ribs yet, but last night I think he was snuggling up into my lungs, because I sure couldn't breathe very well. ;)

Awww. This actually made me tear up a little, thinking about what is behind the choice of those names for Harry (and how sweet Ginny was to let him get away with all those name choices, heh). I love the quiet intimacy of this moment between them, after the fun of all the teasing. You write a wonderful Harry/Ginny!

(And I'm guessing there's a little self-insertion going on in here? Hee. Hope things are well, and no one laughs at you when you grunt. ;) )

bratanimus January 10 2009, 15:12:23 UTC

Aw, thanks! It's my first Harry/Ginny, and I did enjoy it. Glad you liked it, too. :)

Erm, yeah, it's hard picking out a name! We've joked about a few in that list ourselves, heh heh. And Mr Brat only laughs at me after I laugh at me, lol, which is OFTEN. :D
