I should have made this announcement about ten days ago. It's hard to believe so much time has passed already... Anyway:

Robin Malcolm Edward of Locksley was born on October 14th, just after midnight. 12:05am to be exact. He weighed 7lbs 6oz. Though ten days older he's gained a good bit.

Also the older version of him turned twenty-nine. Happy belated birthday, love.

	Not that I can think of right this moment. I know as soon as that door closes I'm going to have a list at least a few miles long of things I'd wished I had asked for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, know what you mean! Send me a list if you do. Will let you know when we're back with it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose anything that goes along with dirty nappy changing? With all the children that showed up a few months back I'm sure Eve, Tim, and Robin aren't going to long for playmates for too long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, indeed, Madame Marian...! I mean, I had a baby a few short days after yours.... So... Yeah, I suppose those two can be wicked good playmates ~~and maybe even Marriage material when they're older? HA!~~ once they're old enough to play, that is....!

And as for mine own baby girl, well.... she's growing so bloody fast, I can hardly believe it! Heh.... I mean, I knew how fast my friend's little bébé grew, but - well - I suppose I just didn't realise how fast it really was, since I wasn't actually living with them the first few weeks....! Heh!

	Of course, it wont be for some time yet, though. He does have little Mina to keep him occupied, with her squeals and sounds of delight, but as far as being exposed to other babies... Well I would have to be sure to have him given all the inoculations as he can have. ~~Especially since his father died of the super fl~~ What did you name her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah, yes.... I suppose that's true enough, regarding the vaccinations...! I mean, I was hoping to put off my child's needle-sticks as long as possible - which according to Dr Bruce is only a couple of months! ~~Oh dear G-d, in just a few short weeks, she'll have to be stuck...!~~

Anyway's, I did see something about Baby Mina, and of course, I meant to ask how old she is that she still needs bottles of milk - although with my mummy brain right now, of course I forget a lot....! Heh! Sorry about that, madame....

And here I almost forgot that you'd asked me my child's name....! Hah! Sorry about that, as well! I mean, her name is Patricia Johanna - modeled loosely after Hemingway's second child's name, you understand, since there is a door open to Key West right now,right outside the Hemingway House museum...

And here I am waffling on at you because my husband is too busy moping around to listen... I am sorry, again, Madame Marian...!

I'm actually looking to do it as soon as possible. But I suppose that's because the plague was so common when I'm from, and the fact that his father perished earlier this year from something that is likely that it could have been been prevented... He hadn't even known that I was pregnant... Anyway I trust Bruce, and I know he will be as gentle as he can possibly be.

She is roughly six months old, and has been fed off of breast milk from Maryanne this whole time. Though I suppose now that I produce my own, that we will not have to resort to what she calls her Moo Cow service. Or cut down to only a few bottles a day rather than a dozen.

I'm sorry, I can't say I know who Hemingway is. But it is a beautiful name.

Don't worry about it. I spilled all over the fellow before. And I hadn't even got his name.

Aw....! I suppose he will be, shan't he? I mean: he was certain gentle with me when I was giving blood to find out what exactly I'd been inoculated against in mine youth.... Anyway's, I only wish I'd had a Healer's training, rather than an Auror's, for the whole notion of being able to mix up potions providing immunity... I mean, the idea of my baby swallowing a small phial of potion certainly makes my stomach turn less than the idea of her being stuck with needles! Sorry, my dear lady.... I - well. I was living as a witch before I came to this island, and thus - well - I think I have different prejudices against Muggle Modern Medicine...!

Anyway's, here I am just continuing to spill all over you and I haven't even introduced myself yet...! Heh.... Sorry yet again, Madame Marian! Anyway's, I'm Patricia Johanna Hemingway's mum, Rhonda Hemingway....

	I have seen far to many children die for me not to have my son set against the illnesses that claimed their lives. A little stick is not something they will remember, as an adult I barely remember my own. Oh, I thought your name was Parnel? We were acquainted before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh G-d, were we really? I'm terribly sorry for that, dear lady.... I mean, mummy brain, after all - I think I think that I've been completely mind-wiped, it feels like, almost...! Heh...

Anyway's, I found out that my first name means something... not very nice, thanks to a gentleman on this network, and so- i go by my middle name now...! Sorry for the confusion, my dear lady!

	Well, I believe at least one hullo was passed between us. But I completely understand the Mum brain. That's how I let ten days get beyond me before I realized it. Well it's hardly horrible. I always thought Parnel was a nicer way to put country bumpkin. The latter always seemed as if it were an insult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Aha....! I mean, honestly, dear lady; I think my first name meant something far worse than that - at least according to Google- which of course, is the go-to for information upon this island - anyway's, well... it means that I'm actually - well... a slut....! I mean, maybe I am, at that: to end up in bed with a gentleman who I barely Knew at all, after all... But then, that was mere island trickery, so... who knows...? I don't know myself if I would've ended up with Ernest Hemingway, without the Island's... intervention....! Heh... At any rate...

Wow, talk about mummy brain....! I completely forgot to apologise to my previous boyfriend about the way thing turned out! I mean, he'd dumped me first, of course, before I'd wound up waking up next to Ernest, but... well.... I still owe him some explanation and apology, don't I? Especially given I woke up a good eight and a half months pregnant! I mean, what must that poor man think of me, honestly??

Actually it's latin, trust me I am quite schooled in the language. I don't know where they got that definition from. But it is quite cruel. I knew a few men with the surname of Parnel. Good men. I'm quite sure they would be rather offended to know that the meaning has been changed.

Your life is your own to lead, I'm hardly one to judge. After all my son was conceived and born out of wedlock. I'm sure it hardly matters that my indiscretions were performed with a man that I had been betrothed to since I was two. And I've already lain with another man. None of which I am ashamed of because it is my choice.

I haven't a clue. It would be between you and he I suppose?

	Got it. I'm thinking there will be people in these shops that know all this stuff, so I'll ask them too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you dear. It is highly appreciated. (Reply to this) (Parent)
