Dear Diary  by Lily Dragonquill 7 Review(s)
BudgieloverReviewed Chapter: 9 on 7/30/2005
I am so enjoying the 'countdown.' Every mother must count the days, worry and anticipation, excitement and dread. I love that Primula frets over being confined to bed, and the idea of Drogo annoying her by checking on her every few minutes is so endearing.

Author Reply: Dear Drogo is so very concerned about his little family. One cannot even be mad at him.

Following this one again. It's been a while.

I feel with Primula as she counts down the days now. Soon, soon the little one will be there.

Author Reply: I'm sure it will be quite a reorganisation for her once the little one is here.

Thanks for reading!

Thank you for updating this! *giggles* I feel almost as tense as she does....this captures her feelings so wonderfully! Love it, fabulous, wonderful, etc!

Author Reply: You know, I somehow feel tense too :)
I'm glad you like the way I descripe her feelings. Since I have never been pregnant I am always happy when people find it believable.

Ahhhhhhhhhh . . . a tiny cliffhanger . . . why?? *faints* I can't wait for your next chapter, Lily! Your stories are really good!

"I am nervous, my little one, but I will try my best. Do not be too hard on your mother."

Don't be afraid Primula, I'm sure he won't ;-)

No boy's name yet? But Primula is right: a special hobbit deserves a special name!

Author Reply: Well, I think Frodo has been an exhausting child at times - just like every child is. But I'm sure Primula will do well.

Its been nine months, right? Yeah, nine month, nine chapters. You really do a good job at describing what Primula might have gone through. Really. You do. Keep up the great work! :D

Author Reply: Thanks a lot! This means a lot to me since I have never been pregnant :)

"Everything will change once the little one arrives. I will actually *be* a mother and not someone imagining what it will be like to be one."

How true! I wonder how many people feel that way!

I love that she wants to give a special child a special name.

:D

Author Reply: I'm glad you think that way.
The idea with a special name is partly thanks to Ariel who said that this particular paragraph needed a word or two more about the speciality of the name. :)
