Today's the day?

Today is meant to be the day Blodwyn is born, but of course, I'm 170 miles away on a Writers' Holiday in the Land of his Great Grandmothers.

A text to Giovanna, enquiring after her status, has informed me she had pains at 4.30 this morning. Since then, nothing. I'm in a quandary, part of me not wishing continual discomfort on her, the other part willing her to hold on. It would be lovely to hear of Blod's safe arrival, but it would be nice to be there on day 1.

Giovanna jokes that her birth is the only time in her life she wasn't late for something. Time will tell if her son takes after her.

Ultimately, he'll come when he comes.


Will Blod take after his mummy?
