Livia

She's here, and she's absolutely wonderful. I am completely in love. It was a shit bag of a pregnancy. I hate being pregnant, and yet Livia is so fab that within a week of her arrival, I wanted another one.

What's she like? She has incredibly long eyelashes. The nape of her neck is just like Grandad's. She gazes calmly at everything, in the way you do when you wake from a long sleep, and don't have to get out of bed any time soon. She has a lop-sided smile and a wobbly neck. She hates the cold. Her skin is so deliciously soft. She makes soft little squeaky noises all the time, and sneezes approximately 97 times a day. I love her.
